COLORADO MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES ANGRY ABOUT ANTI-WAR PROTESTER MOUNTAIN CAMPS DURING DNC 2008

On the Peter Boyles Show/KHOW this morning, organizers from the protest group 'COME UP TO DENVER', took heat from callers who were angry the group had invited war protesters to camp in the mountains, west of Denver, on private property. A local volunteer fireman from one of the mountain communities called in to express concerns of an influx of protesters camping in the mountains. The volunteer fireman confronted the anti-war organization about large groups of people camping in the mountains who are unfamiliar with the hazard of fire and concentrations of large groups on private property. One of the organizers answered that they and their guests were very environmentally conscience and aware of the fire danger. Counter-culture groups and protest groups claim some environmental moral higher ground to justify their illegal presence on forest land or disobeying city ordinances. The current pop-environmental sin is the carbon footprint. Apparently the protesters coming to Denver for the August Democratic National Convention are forgiven of this eco-sin. Consider their fuel consumption to Colorado and the commute from mountain communities to the protest during the DNC.
