You make party proportional voting sound like a bad thing. But people absolutely vote for parties in this country despite a structure that appears to be centered on local individuals. If parties are bad, then ban them, and truly focus the vote on the local riding candidates. If you're not willing to do this, then the system needs to be changed. MMP, it bears pointing out, focuses equally on party and local individual representation. As a system it helps remove some of the contradictions in our present system.

The Beavers deserve an NCAA bid, though a win last night would have definitely helped their argument. As for Tres Tinkle being out, it hurts their depth, but isn't a big enough loss to justify leaving them out of the big dance. Last night, Derrick Bruce got a lot of minutes in Tinkle's absence and contributed far more than anyone would have expected from Tinkle.

The fact is that it's been no secret that the people who try to ban books from schools are, more often than not, religious zealots. Who else does this? They see "immorality" and "depravity" in nearly everything that is worth doing, having, or reading. They're the same tribe that endeavors to have comprehensive sex education removed from school curriculum, as well. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention lately. I don't hate them. I just wish they'd keep their idiotic mythology-based moral code in church where it belongs.

"The New York Times reported that two White House officials — including an aide whose job was recently saved by President Donald Trump — secretly helped Nunes examine intelligence information last week." "House Speaker Paul Ryan, in an interview with CBS’ “This Morning” that aired today, said Nunes told him a “whistleblower-type person” provided the information." On one hand it's a 'leaker" then on the other hand it's a "whistleblower-type person". Ryan, can you explain the difference to me?

Talking about my parents and the other sorts of abuse filled up our hour long sessions. When I recovered memories of the abuse, he was one of the first persons I called. Repressed memories needs a lot more study. The human brain is a fascinating organ. Memory is a complex part of that. There are those in the field who deny the existence of repressed memory. There is also a group who have studied it and find it to be valid. I find it to be like climate change. There are those of us who see evidence of it everyday. There are others who deny its existence. I used to get very upset about people like Buster who deny my reality. Most of those people were apologists for the Catholic Church. I have been at this for some time now. My library is full of books on the subject. I have an e reader that is also full. I have not used a therapist in several years. Reading books has been very useful. I suspect that as more research is done, repressed memory will be more widely accepted.

Whoever wrote this story should be ashamed of themselves. The headline inflation measure for the UK Office of National Statistics became the CPIH with this February update, replacing the CPI. This is the first time this has happened since the UK CPI (previously designated the UK Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP)) replaced the Retail Prices Index in December 2003. It should not simply have been ignored. As it happened, the change could not have been more anticlimactic, as the CPI rate of inflation for February 2017 was the same as for the CPIH, but this won’t always the case. It was a terrible decision by the ONS, as argued by Shaun Richards in his blog yesterday, “Headline UK Inflation or CPIH is an example of official ‘Alternative News’”.

No: A faithful Catholic follows the teaching of the church about the formation of conscience; gives the teaching of the church 'pride of place' in the formation of his/her conscience and the benefit of doubt; and follows the dictates of her/his conscience. Like most Catholics, I think the teaching of the church is wrong on several matters -- among them human sexuality (birth control, masturbation and homosexuality) and the ordination of women. I am a faithful Catholic, a daily communicant most of my life -- and your opinion about this is utterly meaningless. You don't get a vote. The official church has trapped itself, to some extent, by making the preposterous claim that it can't change its teachings. The claim is ludicrous: indefensible historically and theologically.

I feel that you are making rampant generalizations about hiring & promotions, and it makes me wonder how much experience you have had in the hiring process..? Personally, I have been at many hiring and promotion meetings, and the only time that this type of criteria comes up is when someone at the table has a political agenda to hire people based upon their skin color or gender. Otherwise it is always best person for the job, based upon the applicant pool. On the other hand, I work closely with 2 marketing firms who have 90%+ female staff, which is clearly based upon a biased hiring practice... But guess what--> It doesn't matter because their lack of gender diversity harms no one. If I don't want to do business with them I don't have to.

MSW did not miss the point. You just don't 'get it'. The consciences of individuals are formed at HOME in children from their infancy, long before anything that the church can state to youngers. It is parents, family, friends, teachers, media, and sports---that have had a major impact in forming the INTERNALIZATION of what is Right and Wrong. It is essential that children and adults have a Relationship with the Divine, FIRST and FOREMOST. Without that, any intellectual 'criteria' will have little, if any impact. And sorry, but there is more to how the conscience operates than 'intellectual' action. Kids as well as adults, see and hear about more crimes that are committed as emotional responses---on the spur of the moment, NO THINKING ABOUT IT, than ever before. There is a 'subjective definition of Conscience' and it is formed through RELATIONSHIP with God [prayer/reflection]. It is this mystery of divine love that is the basis of understanding the primacy of conscience.

I agree with your statement completely. Whether one believes or not is moot, because EVERYONE dies we will all learn the truth of it. Let's assume the Christian viewpoint is correct, just for arguments sake. You have a good man who is an atheist, but gives to his community and is extremely charitable, humble, honest and honorable in every way. In the same town you have a 'Holy' man, who preaches love, charity, kindness and believes wholly in Jesus as his savior, but this man is corrupt, bigoted, commits sins, and does not truly love his neighbors, but uses them for money. Which of these two men will go to heaven? Matthew 9: 12-13 is often interpreted incorrectly. Jesus said he came for the 'spiritually sick' as he spoke to 'righteous' men of his day. Often this passage is used to say that 'good' people cannot go to heaven just for being good. I disagree. I think he wasn't pointing out the 'good' who lack faith, but the self-righteous, who are clean on the outside but foul inside.
