Tube Wars In Fraser

Did anyone catch the story on 9News regarding the tube wars in Fraser?



I was at the Fraser planning meeting for the Byers Peak Ranch annexation, and I think it's clear that the Colorado Adventure Park is synonymous with Grand Park, which is managed by Mr. Clark Lipscomb. The owner of the Fraser Tubing hill, Rod Rodgers, had some pretty vitriolic comments regarding Mr. Lipscomb's business dealings.

Not that I agree with doing business this way, but the Colorado Adventure park operates much like a big box store. Come into a small town, undercut prices until you've killed the local businesses, and then raise prices to sustain your business. That's the Wal-Mart model so if you've shopped at a Wal-Mart and complain about the Adventure Park, not only are you a hypocrite; you are responsible for killing small businesses across America. You'd think Wal-Mart was the only big bad guy out there, but Target is actually competing quite well against them. Competition is a good thing.

  2. You're the hypocrite for limiting full range of expression when you carry a "no bullshit" logo(which unless you paid for its use is a copyright infringement against the artist). I find your above comparison absurd, and your loyalties questionable. I did steal your link since I hadn't seen it before, so thanks for that. I am pleased to sign my fucking name...

  3. @Elizabeth... The logo is actually used with permission of the company that produces it:

    "Thats fine, as long as the image is linked to us we are happy.

    Kind Regards,

    As for limiting expression, I'm not clear on your point there.
