When I lived in Colorado, many had bumper stickers that said "Native". I tried to fit in as I really liked the people and lifestyle at the time. With the changes (due to the large influx of people from the west coast) over the last 30 years, I can see why one might make such a distinction. The best way to be considered a "local" or at least be tolerated has always been to stop trying to change everything into the place you came from.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
