Since atheists go to heaven, I guess everyone goes to heaven If this is the case, then why do we need Jesus for salvation, or the sacraments of the Catholic Church? Seems silly.

David Lewis - Transportation money cannot be used for health care & most village health care centers are funded by BIA/Native Corporation funds any way. King Cove has a health center, but like most village health centers, it can't handle anything critical. Unless you want to staff these village clinics full-time with specialists, you're not getting rid of the need for med evacs. The difference between King Cove & many other villages is that it is frequently beset by weather that prevents aircraft from being able to safely use its airfield. The questions you ask would be answered during the DOT process of designing the road. It would likely be something similar to the Tanana Road, which 4WDs can navigate in the winter. It was built with State funds, so didn't have to meet federal highway standards, so cost about $14 million. The King Cove road is less than one-tenth the length, so should cost much less. There is also already some old road in place that could be part of the project.

Don't be preposterous. Someone who tries to strip away minimum standards affirmed for special needs children by the rule-of-law and also implicitly promised by any applied principle of equality is clearly behaving as a functional sociopath. A functional sociopath is not qualified by their own behavior as a human being who is credibly well. They are instead some pathological problem with a wanton will to harm society, whether or not they are cognizant of themselves. This is not rocket science, friend. This is pointing out the weather.

The problem is that Trump and his minions do not have the intellectual capacity to distinguish between truth and lies or facts and falsehoods because their brains suppress all facts that disagree with their ideology. Climate change is is a small example. They disregard the findings of the 97% of peer-reviewed studies that state that climate change is real and caused by the actions of humans, preferring to believe that the 3% who deny the evidence are correct. Trying to claim that Trump's crowd at the inauguration was bigger, despite the visual evidence that clearly showed it wasn't, is another example. Alternative facts, as they call them, are not facts. They are lies, pure and simple, and they must be called what they are.

Commissioner Johnson has been a great leader for her district and county. Her key points are true - the County's economy is driven by the Navy (88% to be exact per WA state study). That effectively means that all key services, like Island Transit which is funded through sales tax, is driven largely by Navy payroll - same goes for education, retail, car repair, housing values... The 1991 BRAC listing was a result of a few negative comments from a couple local politicians and a rabid campaign from WISE. DC listens to this.

Of course I agree United was wrong in that they should not have bumped passengers, particularly after they had already boarded, to accommodate employees. That was the fundamental error. But the customers' reaction was also not right. The other three passengers deplaned peacefully even though they did not want to, which was what a mature adult would do. Refusing to deplane so that police have to carry you off is NOT something to be applauded, no matter how wrong United's policy was. "Air rage" is not a proper response, two wrongs do not make a right.

True, I'm not saying do it all now. I'm trying to lay out a path that makes more sense to the whole project. The Sounder platform is set to be expanded to accommodate two more passenger carriages, which will accommodate dozens of new commuters. Where are they going to park? A small structure on the other side of a very busy street (James)? Yeah, but it's really not convenient, and could deter ridership. All I'm saying is keep the project close to the transit center if you want to encourage ridership.

Back in the 1990s, I met this old coot who drove out of Anchorage Taxi (the red and white cabs). He told me that he first started driving cab in Ketchikan in 1953 and that back then, you were required to have an FCC license to talk on the dispatch radio. In my own experience, I was on the board of directors of a license holder in 1989 and at that time, DJs were required to have an FCC license. It looked like a Social Security card, except that it was on yellow paper. More recently, I did a weekly airshift for years at another station. While we were made to jump through various hoops by station management, getting an FCC license was not one of those.

Wrong. Reasonable suspicion isn't the argument - as it's non-existent negated when 'consensual contact in a public place' is the setting. They aren't pulling people over to talk to them, they are making contact in a public place; hence, no reasonable expectation of privacy attaches. The contact is consensual SIMPLY because of the forum itself - not in the sense that consent is given and consent then facilitates the contact. This is like saying that a process server can't serve papers in a courthouse or library. The parties all have a 'right' to be on public property.

He needs a new and stronger message. How about telling us the more central and painful truth: The root issue is the idol of self, the love of self. Pursuing money is just one form of love of self, that is pride. Pursuing and defending our reputation can be just as damaging as pursuing money. Vanity, wanting to be consulted, etc. Francis wants to stay popular and so he cleverly tap dances around giving us the real medicine we need to draw closer to Christ. He bores me with his cheaper (and ever trendy) version of the Gospel. Railing at the "pursuit of money" lets 99.9% of the people off the hook, letting them cast stones.

There is nothing "random" about removing or moving specific symbols that are strongly linked to a history of supporting slavery here. Other countries, such as Germany and Italy, have done so in ways that do not erase hateful parts of their past but situate them to be discussed so that the wrongs of the past will not be repeated. Another example, across the former Soviet Union Lenin's statue was relegated to special sculpture parks. As well, note that one of the first things Americans did upon taking Baghdad was to topple the Saddam statue.

The classically liberal approach to social issues was to challenge traditional conservative beliefs: Christians good, non-Christians bad; men strong, women weak; straight good, gay bad, etc. Liberalism (again, in the classic sense) says these group identities have no place in the public sphere, and should be given no legal recognition. A citizens is a citizen is a citizen. A woman has every right that a man has, a gay person has every right a straight person has, etc. That's why it was liberalism that fought the racist and sexist behaviours that were normal in decades past. But the left is no longer motivated by liberalism. Instead, they've turned to cultural Marxism. Under that model, it's groups that matter, not individuals. We shouldn't ignore that someone is a woman, or Asian, or Catholic, or Muslim. Those identities should actually be our main social role, and balancing the outcomes of those groups the goal of justice. Very different ways of looking at the world.

'Why publish rubbish?'. DM: 'DM accepts voluntary contributions from readers, either once-off or monthly recurring basis. Once-off contributions at the discretion of [their?] readers'. But it seems to me DM publishes because the writer is ostensibly well-known in his/her professional circle, a professional or budding writer, a 'celebrity' (or what passes for one in SA) or politician and, therefore, in their 'readers' opinion, his/her view MIGHT be interesting or polemical even if it's poorly written. It appears those are the criteria, except on the rare occasion it might be relaxed for Joe or Mary Soap to submit a piece as letter to the editor. I don't know how else one becomes a DM 'opinionista'. Main articles are by staff or contracted writers. I agree some of what they post is not good.

The question comes down to priorities. Are close human relationships to be only driven by 'functionality', like breeding animals? Or is the official church unable to recognize that the primary status in marriage/priesthood/consecrated life--- is LOVE first. Indeed---Love was the primary status that Jesus set, as the cornerstone for ALL of his followers---"Love one another as I have loved you." The church in the Western world is hemorrhaging members at an alarming rate. Are today's younger people to be obfuscated by anxieties about sex, while the official church works out its complex and contradictory relationships dealing with gender, sexuality, and the millennial generation? Young people aren't waiting. They have lives to live and work to do.
