Doubt it, you are talking out both sides of any preferred orifice.

You geniuses know that Hitler was a socialist! Right?
"We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."

Can we not begin with a common premise in life, in religion, that understanding God Presence supposes an informed sense of self-conscious biology? In this urgent matter, churches need to do a better job if they would avoid being party to global, religion-based violence.
We should cooperate in removing self-serving artifices that foment divisions based on ideologies of elitism and chosenism. The more correctly we get our sense of common biology, the better chance we have of coming to a more correct sense of God-Presence and of religion in common. Human life rebirths the same everywhere and for all time, irrespective of "religious" self-serving. Let's celebrate "The Child".

The UN declaration undermines Canadian sovereignty. Contrary to the author's opinion, the justice minister explicitly and unambiguously said this declaration is unworkable in Canadian law.
As to the TRC recommendations, they are superfluous and completely outside their mandate. The TRC was part of a settlement. Apology, billions of dollars, and TRC. That's it. Settled. Calls to action are unsolicited and non-binding. It's kind of like getting three wishes from a genie and then wishing for 94 more wishes with your last wish. Nice try.

58. We call upon the Pope to issue an apology to Survivors, their families, and communities for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in the spiritual, cultural, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children in Catholic-run residential schools.

"...to occur within one year of the issuing of this Report..." This date passed quietly on June 2nd, 2016. I wonder if any of the chiefs will remember what they paid to have written for them, and hold Gumby accountable. | 0 | not toxic |

The office of the public protector has always been headed by an ANC cadre who steers clear of anything that might embarrass the ANC or government - Selby Baqwa, Lawrence Mushwana and now Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
Thuli Madonsella was an abberation - as an ANC member, Zuma thought he was appointing another Mushwana.
He later found out that Ms Madonsela is a person of integrity, decency and honesty, with a passion for human rights, who was fearless in exposing maladministration and corruption wherever it was found (the hight profile political cases are actually in the monority - most of the reports deal with unscrupulous service providers like net 1 who abuse the gogos.).

Agree - MSW needs to be educated about PP. His criticisms are so much - *the sky is falling*.
Guess he missed the news yesterday in which a federal judge has blocked the sonogram ridiculousness of the state of Indiana. Why, without PP, these types of cultural war ignorance would be the rule and the norm. MSW appears to have a difficult time arriving at a consistent life ethic - he is pro-birth one day; anti-abortion the next; and then forgets that pro-life is so much larger than the single or cultural abortion wars. One day he is Lori's acolyte and the next his critic.

That's precisely the reason Drumpf's Secretary of Commerce was appointed: He doesn't like the minimum wage, doesn't like regulations that maintain the integrity of the service and the environment. My wife was almost killed by "Yum," the billionaire owners of Taco Bell, the ones who pay minimum wage only because they are forced to, the ones who don't give low-paid employees sick leave so they come to work and spread disease, and who buy produce from profiteers who couldn't care less about consumers. That she survived two simultaneous, usually fatal, food-borne diseases after days in an ICU, more still in the hospital, and is disabled for life, is because the greed of unrestrained capitalism doesn't kill quite enough people to make it necessary for the Republicans in power to protect us. The next of the endless lies to fall from his and their lips will be unquestionably accepted by the 36% of American voters who continue to believe him and them at the peril of us all. | 0 | not toxic |
Road rage is not caused by other driver's. The cause is an immature response to any given situation that makes you angry for not much of a reason. If you need to be some place at a given time and have to drive to get there, leave earlier since you should be aware that the summer months are for travelers and visitors and the traffic will be heavier.

I am NOT saying hard evidence doesn't exist but it sure would have been great if one of the women or all of them would have taken this to court . Settling out of court allows this type of behavior to be waved away as it being just a money scam.
If one of the women would take it to court then real justice might be done. This will always be under a cloud because he was not found guilty in a court of law only in the court of opinion.
It takes a lot of courage to go to court and is really emotionally devastating but rape victims do it.

The cost of these 'feral', as you call them, horses, is due to the fact that they were rounded up from their native ranges by BLM, costing American taxpayers millions of dollars, and now need to be fed, for more millions of dollars. Put them back, and that cost goes away. Less than 2% of the BLM's annual budget is spent applying PZP (porcine zone pellucida) fertility control. Doing more of that would create jobs and reduce population growth. The National Academy of Sciences completed a report, requested by BLM, and concluded that BLM should concentrate on fertility control rather than roundups. That recommendation has been ignored. | 0 | not toxic |
The problem with the free market is that the profit motive does not help public services. Safety, security, health, environment, etc cannot be left to the private sector.
Second, wealth will keep concentrating in the hands of the rich. There will be a permanent underclass that will vote for communism, which is unhealthy for everyone.
Third, I agree regulations that inhibit free markets should be dropped. Entrepreneurship is key to progress. Canada should look to successful examples around the world (though we are pretty good ourselves in balancing economic and welfare needs). | 0 | not toxic |
Barry,
I would also add the absolute requirement that standardized tests MUST be validated prior to general use. This includes three validations steps: 1) face validity, 2) content validity, and 3) predictive validity. Without these validation steps such tests run the very great risk of being just a complete waste of time and money. With regard to CSAP and PARCC I have yet to find one person in the Colorado education community who can address whether or not those testing schemes every went through a thorough validation process. And, believe me, I have asked the question of dozens of people who should have known. | 0 | not toxic |
Oh my, where to begin?! First, foreign procurement of Canadian properties is federal jurisdiction, not municipal. Second, any kind of meltdown in the Chinese economy will see an increase in demand for hard foreign assets, not a decrease.

Again the same deceptive graphs as in the main article on this topic (the second graph has been changed out in the other article). (Isn't it sad that the MSM is so corrupt that they actually publish a completely inaccurate graph?)
The facts:
-in 2015, China emitted 10,642 Mt of CO2, and the US 5,172 Mt(1), less than half.
-given that sea levels are set to increase by 2-3 feet by 2100 (not 30 feet "in the near future" as Al Gore claimed), the US pulling out of the treaty will make a difference of literally an inch or two by 2100. Also, recent studies suggest that weather is not getting more extreme, but less extreme in recent years.
-despite China emitting more than double (29.5% of global emissions) what the US emits, they are not obligated to start reducing emissions until 2030 or later. This is simply ludicrous, especially when they already have a huge trade surplus (i.e. competitive advantage) w.r.t. the US and most other countries, on account of their manufacturing. | 0 | not toxic |

Absent from this debate are comparisons of owner/producer profit sharing in most countries. The big three want this question off the table. Our news outlets suffer a painful withholding of advertising any time they tell. According to ConocoPhillips' unaudited report. Alaska's producers were netting $17 per barrel from last quarter's Alaska production. I doubt that the big three can point to a single other country that lets them keep more than $5 per barrel. Alaska's big three do happily produce in exchange for an average of a $1 profit in several countries. Last quarter Alaska produce about 46 million barrels. Had we kept $12 of the $17 and let them keep $5, they would have cried all the way to the bank, and continued producing. Alaska would have received an additional $550 million. Four quarters of the same would add up to $2.2 Billion. Passing an income tax will take the pressure off of our oil company owned legislature to get your rightful share of profits from our state owned oil. | 0 | not toxic |

Maybe the role of women "...in the church and the world" would be better served for a while, at least, by reversing the process. We seem to always start at the bottom of the hierarchical pyramid and argue to legitimize women's elevation to share in the "upper echelons" and, ultimately, the apex. Of course the rationale includes the communitarian notion of Catholicism but usually as a contrarian to the status quo.
Maybe the subject should be taken out of that box and viewed from The Parent Creator's perspective as Jesus "takes" us back, or "encompasses us" in the reflective "image" that is creation redeemed.
As Bernard Lonergan, S.J. might say: the finality of creation is the totally differentiated and integrated "image" of God in Christ that becomes "known" to the Creator and affirmed mutually in the ecstatic "Yes" that is the Spirit.
Is that image a hierarchical triangle: Jesus-hierarchy/ordinary ordained/laymen/lay women in a confused ever-expanding "bottom" base? Nooooo!!!!!! | 0 | not toxic |
Twenty million people have signed onto the ACA now and counting Mr. 55. That includes those who had pre-existing conditions and could not get insurance at any cost and those who made too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford high health insurance premiums. The subsidies that enable them to afford health insurance are entirely paid for with a small tax on the capital gains of individuals making more than $250,000 or couples making more than $500,000/year. Those people got sick or were sick and showed up at the emergency rooms anyway 55. The costs were not eaten by the healthcare industry but were passed on to those individuals lucky enough to have jobs that gave them health insurance which is why your premiums have been going up every year since the '60's if not longer. For profit businesses do not eat the costs, they find a way to pass them on to you, the lowest rung on the profiteering ladder. | 0 | not toxic |

It's not that simple. Back awhile, Democrats and Republicans hung out together, hashed out compromises, giving a bit here and taking a bit there so everyone got some of what they wanted. Right about the time 'neo-conservative' became a word, then 'Tea-Party', Republicans were making cute statements like 'I want to shrink government down to where we can drown it in a bathtub'. Of course, strong government is good for those people without much power, bad for those who want to pay workers slave wages, discharge waste into the air and water, and minimize taxes. Those corporations are both Democrats and Republicans, but the fact is there must be regulation. But the Republican version of compromise is 'Do it our way and we'll be nice to you.' Compromise must come from a position of power, if not it is just exploitation. | 0 | not toxic |
The key difference between Countrywide and Home Capital is that the latter's mortgage book has not been shown to be soft. That is, we don't actually know, but to all appearances the book is solid, and the insolvency is entirely attributable to a run on the deposits of the bank. This, in spite of CDIC insurance. One wonders why Home Capital does not issue 4-5% long term GICs instead of the ridiculous rates on the $2 billion line of credit. At an attractive rate, and with CDIC insurance, many retail investors would purchase them. Tell me if I'm wrong. The present 1-2% is simply out of line with the perceived risk. | 0 | not toxic |

"We have long thought that simply by stressing doctrinal, bioethical and moral issues, without encouraging openness to grace, we were providing sufficient support to families, strengthening the marriage bond and giving meaning to marital life. We find it difficult to present marriage more as a dynamic path to personal development and fulfilment than as a lifelong burden. We also find it hard to make room for the consciences of the faithful, who very often respond as best they can to the Gospel amid their limitations, and are capable of carrying out their own discernment in complex situations. We have been called to form consciences, not to replace them." AL 37

It is not hard for a scientist (i.e. not you) to figure out when orbital variations have affected our planet because they are periodic. But because there are several layers to it the periodicity is not a simple recurrence of every X years. In other words, some aspects have periods of, say, 75,000 years while others are longer. When you layer them together it is complicated.
The medieval warm period was not a global phenomenon, rather different portions of the planet warmed at different times, contrary to what you probably think. In other words, there was no planet-wide forcing mechanism. Same with the little ice age.

I also enjoyed the article... and like to garden and have a number of high tunnels. They are awesome to have. BUT, it is important to remember that the money to build these USDA funded projects was taken from people under threat of violence, in the form of taxes.

Will we all buy these things for each other?
It is also very important to remember that when doling out money/resources, governments do a very poor job getting good value.

In order to be a crime, an activity must be explicitly prohibited by a criminal statute which imposes criminal penalties.
