Owl, once again you have distorted (AKA, lied about) my comment. You write that I said "everything is just wonderful throughout the system." You made that up (AKA, lied). Here's what I said: "I don't have first hand knowledge of any other VA facilities so can't comment on the whole system." Also, you say I didn't give any reason why someone would would "bad mouth the VA". That's another lie. I gave the following reasons: "...people try to denigrate the VA because they don't like big government or for some other reason want to bad mouth the VA." Please stop misquoting and/or distorting my comments. Play fair, and we can have a civil dialogue. One more lie from you, and we're done. Best, RTD	0	not toxic

continued It is desert spirituality that speaks to the profound burdens being faced in South Sudan. When Herlinger spoke of people working without pay so as to keep working... it was yet another reference to how it is that desert fathers faced such challenges to faith. A Consecration to the Holy Spirit is at the heart of the desert journey. Consider the guiding fellowship of Foucault and Carretto and let lay communities emerge built on love as the orders emerged from their desert journey. Urbanizing a crisis in faith denies the desert reality. Bringing the Pope into the minute by minute disputes over which tribes stood next to him, which met him at the air port, would feed the tribe and not the soul and would most likely be exploited for abuse of power. Bring those who journey is desert born. Who know the storms and the famines than whose faith was formed in that context? The Holy Spirit changes hearts. Consecrate hearts to the Holy Spirit as the heart's hope. Do what you can do.	0	not toxic
"The cost-conscious Congress has squeezed the TSA budget in recent years...." Cost-conscious Congress?! What a hoot! Who was the written by, Paul Ryan? You mean the Congress that took our ever-increasing airline passenger fees and diverted them for their own pet pork? That Congress? The Congress that is SHOCKED! SHOCKED! that reduced TSA funding would create long lines at the airports? That Congress? The Congress that now has appointed the tight-fisted Lisa Murkowski and the pork-averse Don Young to grease the skids for yet another budget-busting defense authorization bill, with mega-goodies for Alaska, including interceptor missiles and F-35s that don't work?

I am always seeing lumber trucks coming and going on the ferry to and from Vancouver and the island... does this also happen to and from Canada and the US? My brother in law buys Canadian Christmas trees in Florida while we buy Oregan Christmas trees in BC. This needs looking at; if we are for some reason still importing lumber somewhere from the US; stop it. It would also be good to quit sending wood to the US and lets start imposing duties on their filthy coal that travels up into BC for export. If we are to have a trade war let it begin! This may be Canada's opportunity to quit being a junior partner to the US megalith. Canadians need to also make an effort to buy Canadian.	0	not toxic

We may be small but don't mess with us because we have big friends is what Norway did. Norway has "soft power" because it can call on its NATO allies for "real power" should the worst case occur.

No, in reality, it is the high cost of living in Canada vs the disposable income that is preventing people from being able to A) LIVE within their means and B) Not have any additional income to Save, + TAXFLATION. The collective governments of Canada are so far into MOST Canadians wallets, but most don't seem to know or care as their apathy is dripping with apathy.

Really? And what studies would that be? My father suffers from COPD and never smoked but out of 50 plus years of marriage my mother smoked 30 of those years. Doctors emphatically recognize my father's COPD is from second hand smoke.

Most of Canada's brightest and best high tech people move to the US in any event because there are not enough world class tech jobs available in Canada. When I studied Math at the University of Waterloo the singe largest employer of Waterloo IT grads was Microsoft. Lower tech salaries in Canada have everything to do with supply and demand. Too many qualified people and not enough high end jobs. I predict large tech companies will establish centers of excellence or tech hubs in Canada to retain their star employees discriminated against by Trump's policies. These hubs will create domestic opportunities for tech people who have decided to stay in Canada. I only see a win in this situation.	0	not toxic

Maryland, don't experiment with drug consumption sites. In Seattle/King County in Washington State, King County Public Health officials have decided to make drug taking a priority with the goal of saving people as they overdose. Problem: In King County, 23,000 IV drug users inject 69,000 times per day. One drug consumption site is expected to monitor 200 injections per day (0.3% of total injections). Therefore the vast majority of drug consumption (and overdoses) would take place outside these sites. SAY NO to drug consumption sites.	0	not toxic

The last I checked Spenard is basically part of Anchorage and the Wells Fargo Bank is near both and out of the mainstream traffic which is a mess downtown. Isn't the state legislature a state entity so why should they be part of just Anchorage, does Anchorage think they are above it all? If it's going to be part of Anchorage then put it out of downtown and forget the glass building and the graft that goes with it.

I understand that many who write here about fireworks complaints/issues aren't being clear about illegal vs legal and they aren't saying if they called the police or not over the illegal ones. Anyway, that is part of the problem. CALL THE POLICE, PLEASE. And if you want better enforcement, and/or if you want to ban all fireworks, then you need to WRITE TO THE CITY COUNCIL. To me, there is no such thing as a 'safe and sane' firework. Any intelligent fire marshal would agree with that. And you can't count on everyone always being safe and sane about anything, anyway.	0	not toxic

As a farmer there have been times when I have been peeved with the price I've got at the farm gate and then seen what the price is at the supermarket. However, I also have some limited business experience in the retail side and understand the huge overheads that are required to manage the retail operations offered by the supermarkets. Supermarkets, like farmers, need to be profitable otherwise they stop functioning. No supermarkets would actually make it harder for farmers to sell their products and produce prices would rise due to reduced efficiency of getting the produce from farm to fork. There are very few companies/people who would be willing to operate a business with only a 2% profit margin!	0	not toxic

You don't really have source. The Walter E Williams you cite, I think, is not an academic historian. He's a conservative economist with a national by-line who is notorious for making claims about things of which he has no special knowledge or insight. There is really no evidence to suggest that black troops did anything but menial, manual labor for Confederate troops, just as they did for their masters. Rather, the entire South feared the possibility of slave revolts for 50 years before the Civil War, after the Haitian Revolution, so the notion that significant numbers of them would have served under the South under arms is more than a little counterintuitive. There was something like 222,000 black men in Union forces. About 40,000 of them DIED, all this according to the National Archives. 18 of them won the Congressional Medal of Honor. https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/blacks-civil-war	0	not toxic

I read a long time ago that any society will always find someway to define a criminal class.

So, despite all these prognoses of inevitable failure Shell still want to drill and test to see if there is anything there.

No. If YOU want to calmly talk to someone who's fine with waving a swastika-embossed Confederate (Battle) Flag in one hand and a gun in the other, you go ahead and do that - better yet, do it at a rally and on camera. See if that solves anything. Just because you yourself are now so far removed from any strife or conflict that you forgot you lived in Idaho for a while (was it 'civility' that magically dislodged the various racist groups there?), doesn't give you the right to pretend there's not a good reason for any coarseness you hear about secondhand among the lesser classes. Civility is a coward's justification for creating false equivalencies between an oppressor and a victim; it's too often been used to justify calm, when calm only benefits the side that ISN'T terrified for their life. It's a terrible fire extinguisher. You may have been dreaming once, Clark, but now you're in a waking dream. And this article makes it seem like you don't want to wake up anyway.	1	toxic
Someone should give this idiot a slap on the head. He is not being very presidential. The Russian Candidate clearly knows nothing about leadership. Everything he does is destabilizing. While he wants change he is going about it the wrong way. He invites legal action to stop his initiatives.

His special trade representative apparently said today that the RC will be remembered as a great president. That is highly unlikely.	1	toxic
All votes are Equal under our current FPTP electoral system. Move to a PR system and voting inequality becomes rampant as individual ballots cast can be counted multiple times.

Shakespeare's plays were written long before Canada existed and To Kill A Mockingbird is set in the US deep south and has nothing todo with the Canadian experience or the "fabric of Canadian culture". I can say the same about Heart of Darkness, Wuthering Heights, and other books in the curriculum. There is no reason that the books in the curriculum need to remain static. The "basics of Canadian culture, literature and the arts" includes voices from many peoples, let's be sure the curriculum reflects that.

The Mass is PUBLIC WORSHIP! It is not just my prayers, but me joining with others in the Worship of God. WE as a church are to join the entire CHURCH in our Worship. The Mass is comprised of the Liturgy of the Word [the WORD is the LOGOS of God] and it is VITAL. It should be heard [not boomed, but heard] by all, presented to all and responded to by all. The Second part of the Mass, is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The LOGOS, the Word that we have listened to, and hopefully 'pondered in our hearts,' now comes to us under the form of bread and wine. It is the Body and Blood of Christ---given for US. There are many aspects of prayer we can bring. And we do offer all of them at the Offertory. But what we SHARE, in Common, and what we RECEIVE, in Common----is pure Gift from God.	0	not toxic

The economy has changed. Our economy is based on consumption. If people lived within their means the economy would collapse. Somebody has to buy things. Hence the huge investment in marketing and government policy encouraging people to spend, rather than save money. People follow incentives. The incentives right now are to consume, consume, consume. We also can't forget the influence that the Internet and access to information has on human behaviour. Not only is it easier than ever to buy goods and services, but one can constantly see the life of the rich and famous around the world through various media, including social media.	0	not toxic

How can the Liberal government spend over $50 billion in stimulus in 2 years of governance when all they have been dealing with is a stagnant economy?

This is all fine, but what is point of doing this? Why would China agree to -what? - buy more American goods because Trump is sticking his finger into its most sensitive wound? What country would react that way? Moreover, the Chinese public is going to be enraged by this. What if the Chinese leadership decide to respond to Trump's provocations by using this as an opportunity to show that the US doesn't dare do what it did in 1996 and sail an aircraft carrier battle group through the Straits of Taiwan? What if Trump does this anyway and China sinks those ships? I wish that there was more analysis here. It's one thing to "negotiate" over a business deal by using economic leverage; it's something else entirely to stir up anger over the most sensitive nationalist issue in China.	0	not toxic

Even more interesting is that yesterday, a private agency that provides Applied Behavior Analysis support services in the district AT NO COST to the district (it is paid for by a family's insurance or out-of-pocket) was told they were no longer welcome in the schools. ASD is losing staff, they hired close to 50 "teacher consultants" and more admin at the district building. They endorse news reports about how devastating it is that the budget is hurting children and young teachers and now, is banning private support services that have operated in conjunction with school staff and IEP teams to support students with Autism for years at ZERO district/taxpayer expense. ASD, despite it's many wonderful employees, has a track record of making decisions based on office politics. For the students and teachers, I really hope this isn't yet another example of giving too much power to too few people without transparency and oversight. ASD should be the example of sound and prudent decision making!	0	not toxic
I'd also add that in accepting that many of these cases will never result in a conviction due to insufficient evidence, we need to ensure that those cases that DO result in a conviction result in strong enough sentences to act as a deterrent. As it stands now, too many rapists are given slaps on the wrist the rare times they are even convicted. A 6 month to 3 year sentence is a slap in the face of victims who have to live the rest of their lives dealing with their pain, and does not send a strong enough message to would-be rapists that this is a serious crime with serious consequences.	0	not toxic

When Herlinger spoke of people working without pay so as to keep working... it was yet another reference to how it is that desert fathers faced such challenges to faith. A Consecration to the Holy Spirit is at the heart of the desert journey. Consider the guiding fellowship of Foucault and Carretto and let lay communities emerge built on love as the orders emerged from their desert journey. Urbanizing a crisis in faith denies the desert reality. Bringing the Pope into the minute by minute disputes over which tribes stood next to him, which met him at the air port, would feed the tribe and not the soul and would most likely be exploited for abuse of power. Bring those who journey is desert born. Who know the storms and the famines than whose faith was formed in that context? The Holy Spirit changes hearts. Consecrate hearts to the Holy Spirit as the heart's hope. Do what you can do.

I am always seeing lumber trucks coming and going on the ferry to and from Vancouver and the island... does this also happen to and from Canada and the US? My brother in law buys Canadian Christmas trees in Florida while we buy Oregan Christmas trees in BC. This needs looking at; if we are for some reason still importing lumber somewhere from the US; stop it. It would also be good to quit sending wood to the US and lets start imposing duties on their filthy coal that travels up into BC for export. If we are to have a trade war let it begin! This may be Canada's opportunity to quit being a junior partner to the US megalith. Canadians need to also make an effort to buy Canadian.

Most of Canada's brightest and best high tech people move to the US in any event because there are not enough world class tech jobs available in Canada. When I studied Math at the University of Waterloo the singe largest employer of Waterloo IT grads was Microsoft. Lower tech salaries in Canada have everything to do with supply and demand. Too many qualified people and not enough high end jobs. I predict large tech companies will establish centers of excellence or tech hubs in Canada to retain their star employees discriminated against by Trump's policies. These hubs will create domestic opportunities for tech people who have decided to stay in Canada. I only see a win in this situation.

Maryland, don't experiment with drug consumption sites. In Seattle/King County in Washington State, King County Public Health officials have decided to make drug taking a priority with the goal of saving people as they overdose. Problem: In King County, 23,000 IV drug users inject 69,000 times per day. One drug consumption site is expected to monitor 200 injections per day (0.3% of total injections). Therefore the vast majority of drug consumption (and overdoses) would take place outside these sites. SAY NO to drug consumption sites.

I understand that many who write here about fireworks complaints/issues aren't being clear about illegal vs legal and they aren't saying if they called the police or not over the illegal ones. Anyway, that is part of the problem. CALL THE POLICE, PLEASE. And if you want better enforcement, and/or if you want to ban all fireworks, then you need to WRITE TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

As a farmer there have been times when I have been peeved with the price I've got at the farm gate and then seen what the price is at the supermarket. However, I also have some limited business experience in the retail side and understand the huge overheads that are required to manage the retail operations offered by the supermarkets. Supermarkets, like farmers, need to be profitable otherwise they stop functioning. No supermarkets would actually make it harder for farmers to sell their products and produce prices would rise due to reduced efficiency of getting the produce from farm to fork. There are very few companies/people who would be willing to operate a business with only a 2% profit margin!

You don't really have source. The Walter E Williams you cite, I think, is not an academic historian. He's a conservative economist with a national by-line who is notorious for making claims about things of which he has no special knowledge or insight. There is really no evidence to suggest that black troops did anything but menial, manual labor for Confederate troops, just as they did for their masters. Rather, the entire South feared the possibility of slave revolts for 50 years before the Civil War, after the Haitian Revolution, so the notion that significant numbers of them would have served under the South under arms is more than a little counterintuitive. There was something like 222,000 black men in Union forces. About 40,000 of them DIED, all this according to the National Archives. 18 of them won the Congressional Medal of Honor. https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/blacks-civil-war

The Mass is PUBLIC WORSHIP! It is not just my prayers, but me joining with others in the Worship of God. WE as a church are to join the entire CHURCH in our Worship. The Mass is comprised of the Liturgy of the Word [the WORD is the LOGOS of God] and it is VITAL. It should be heard [not boomed, but heard] by all, presented to all and responded to by all. The Second part of the Mass, is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The LOGOS, the Word that we have listened to, and hopefully 'pondered in our hearts,' now comes to us under the form of bread and wine. It is the Body and Blood of Christ---given for US. There are many aspects of prayer we can bring. And we do offer all of them at the Offertory. But what we SHARE, in Common, and what we RECEIVE, in Common----is pure Gift from God.

Hence the huge investment in marketing and government policy encouraging people to spend, rather than save money. People follow incentives. The incentives right now are to consume, consume, consume. We also can't forget the influence that the Internet and access to information has on human behaviour.

What if Trump does this anyway and China sinks those ships? I wish that there was more analysis here.

Even more interesting is that yesterday, a private agency that provides Applied Behavior Analysis support services in the district AT NO COST to the district (it is paid for by a family's insurance or out-of-pocket) was told they were no longer welcome in the schools. ASD is losing staff, they hired close to 50 "teacher consultants" and more admin at the district building. They endorse news reports about how devastating it is that the budget is hurting children and young teachers and now, is banning private support services that have operated in conjunction with school staff and IEP teams to support students with Autism for years at ZERO district/taxpayer expense. ASD, despite it's many wonderful employees, has a track record of making decisions based on office politics. For the students and teachers, I really hope this isn't yet another example of giving too much power to too few people without transparency and oversight.

I'd also add that in accepting that many of these cases will never result in a conviction due to insufficient evidence, we need to ensure that those cases that DO result in a conviction result in strong enough sentences to act as a deterrent. As it stands now, too many rapists are given slaps on the wrist the rare times they are even convicted. A 6 month to 3 year sentence is a slap in the face of victims who have to live the rest of their lives dealing with their pain, and does not send a strong enough message to would-be rapists that this is a serious crime with serious consequences.
