Washington Post says they give advertisers wide latitude to have their say as long as ads do not advocate illegal actions. The ad clearly states Flint wants someone to "leak" President Trump's tax returns. That would be illegal. Therefore The Washington Post is lying right to our face again. | 0 | not toxic |

Since turibles are much less in use these days, it would appear this condition has life-long lasting effects from early exposure to incense. The open question, in my mind is whether the disease is triggered by all incense or just the generally horrible stuff the one used to find used in the Catholic Church? I hypothesis that quality incense is innocent. and it may even be the quality incense is very less objectionable to those who are aroma challenged.

The primitive horse species went extinct in the Americas at he end of the Pleistocene...11,000 years ago...at the same time as the Wooly Mammoths, Wooly Rhinos, Dire Wolves, Cave Bears, American Lions, Spotted Hyenas and the American Cheetah...numerous species...went extinct. The domestic horse now running free in the "Wild West" are feral, but the exact same species as an Arabian, a Morgan, a Shire or a Shetland.
As for your assertion that the horses live in harmony with nature...that is not true in most HMA's. "Harmony with Nature" would mean that the horses have a predator that keeps the population in balance. (like the African lion keeps the zebra in balance) Only a couple of HMA's have any large predator that does that: a couple have Mountain lions that will kill foals, but most HMA's aren't Mountain lion habitat.

The author misses a critical point. When Canada made cannabis illegal in 1923 there was no scientific evidence that it should be made so -- none ... there was parliamentary debate at all ... no rationale -- with the stroke of a pen, the rights of millions of people were removed. In 1961 there was little evidence too. No government anywhere should have the right to take away the rights of its citizens to a plant without damned good reason. And today -- the bulk of evidence clearly indicates that cannabis is much more benign then many other legal substances -- and actually has many medical benefits when used intelligently. In fact, freshly picked cannabis is NOT even psychoactive (many do not know that) and taken as a nutraceutical in smoothies, has huge health benefits for the human
endocannabinoid system and has put into remission many illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disease. Look up the work of Dr. William Courtney in the US on U tube! | 0 | not toxic |

As has been pointed out, the income figures have risen significantly but are still not as high as in 2007. If you think about it, incomes were going down significantly from 2008 through about 2012, 2013. They flattened out about that time, not going down but not going up either. Republicans took control of the house in Jan. 2011 and began reducing the annual deficits. Harry Reid and the democrats in the senate then shut down almost all legislation, so almost nothing got done. Then republicans took control of the senate in Jan. 2015 and the amount of bipartisan legislation getting done increased significantly. It is also obvious that business confidence in the government has increased with republicans in charge of the congress, as the economic indicators have shown. Once again, republicans are responsible for improving economic numbers but will never be given proper credit. Just like the 4 years of surpluses that Bill Clinton took credit for. | 0 | not toxic |

He is a loser, and liar, con artist. and like Trump was broke and a failure, television gave him salary when he needed it most. The one truly intelligent conversation he could have had on the matter of politics and economics was with the brilliant highly respected journalist Chris Hedges...instead, because O'Leary's ignorance about anything that doesn't come out of his own mouth, O'Leary went after Hedges like a juvenile in a school yard and in turn Chris Hedges stomped O'Leary's proverbial ass kick down the halls of CBC and out into the parking lot.

From the link by DR 586: "The City and Borough of Juneau also offered to endow the education program with a $1 million contribution. A letter to Johnsen and the Board of Regents from Juneau city manager Rorie Watt said the $1 million contribution could be managed by the Juneau Community Foundation and would support a school of education centered at UAS.
Watt said in an email Wednesday that the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly gave him authorization to offer the $1 million, and at Assembly meetings in January the local government would go through the appropriations and public process of making the contribution. He said the money would likely come from the municipal savings account and he anticipated that citizens and businesses might also choose to donate."

I would think there are bigger fish to fry than going after the average government employee. The misinformation and misunderstanding here is a sad commentary on the state of the country. I can see the need for change in some areas such as retention based on performance but going too far will could result in lower productivity, longer waiting periods and arbitrations leading to lengthy and costly litigation; the cost of government will go up, not down.

Regarding the picture associated with the article:

Dan, thanks for your thoughtful and compassionate suggestions. I agree with you that we can do better, and also, that the problem is in part mental illness and substance abuse. I think doing better means first dealing way better with those who really do need help. We are a wealthy nation and we have the resources for that.
And then, after having helped those who need it, we might be able to revise the options we offer to those who are homeless by choice, who don't have to be. I'd like to see us offer respectable public sector work for decent pay (cleaning up parks, etc.) to help them get back on their feet.
And, for those who choose not to work, offer them decent clean campgrounds, with facilities; and at the same time insist that choosing homeless is not a license to camp in public parks or streets when decent sites are available.
We can be compassionate for those in need and still regulate sleeping in parks and public squares. | 0 | not toxic |

remorse is an extremely hard thing to gauge. I don't know if you've ever seen a dog die violently but it's not pretty, and I can see reasons someone might want to get their 3-yr-old out of there and home---But I really know nothing of the situation beyond what's reported here.
Forgiveness, on the other hand, is as much or more for one's own benefit, and the benefit of community, than it is a particular benison on, say, someone who just killed your dog, though that actually helps too. The lack of it is a very heavy burden on the soul---Carrying around hatred and resentment is like drinking poison every day and hoping the other person suffers for it.
Forgiveness also unlocks unexpected doors, builds bridges across divides, broadens our awareness, and acts as a healing on the community itself; and does more to validate a life, in passing, than the kind of raw hostility I'm seeing surrounding this event.

I was talking about an accountant.
You don't need to have a union to have an employment contract. A contract under the law is an agreement, it need not even be written down. He offered a job with certain pay and benefits and the employee accepted by taking the job on those stated terms. He violated that contract by not abiding by the agreed upon pay. That's actionable, no union needed.
All unions do nowadays is require the employee to pay them for something the employee can do for themselves. Closed shops and mandatory payroll deductions prevent workers from operating in their own best interest. If unions really had something valuable to offer they wouldn't need government to extract their dues and run their protection rackets for them, employees would voluntarily pay for the "benefits" they bring. | 0 | not toxic |

As a past legal grower of Canadian cannabis, I was able to sell the herb for $600.00 a metric TONNE and still make a very decent profit - i.e. SIXTY CENTS A KILO. Our yield was about three tonnes per acre on sixty acres As a crop it was better than corn, grains or oil seeds. Over three or four years we found that cannabis was a really easy crop - especially when compared to the ones I mentioned above.
