Gillette’s early days

Gillette, Wyoming, population about 33,000, the third biggest town in Wyoming.  It’s a good place to live.  Decades of taxes from the energy industry have built outstanding public facilities.  Folks are friendly, helpful, and tend to mind their own business.  It’s a hard-working town where people don’t expect government to take care of them.  In Gillette, and Wyoming in general, the police are allowed to enforce the law.  Wyoming was the first state to allow women to vote, and the first to elect a female governor in 1924.  One wouldn’t think Gillette, or the rest of Wyoming for that matter, a cesspool of hate, but Gillette’s City Council apparently thinks otherwise, as Cowboy State Daily reports:

Erik Scott

Our world is changing at a dizzying pace.  The Internet has had a substantial role in that.  For the first time in history, we have a new category of people we know.  They’re friends, just not friends we can touch or see over a restaurant table, but we know them nonetheless, and we care about them. For the first time in history, we have access to much of human knowledge in the palms of our hands.  We can know stories and people that would, in the past, forever have escaped us.
