Let them take as long as they want, as we are in this far, we might as well finish it. The expectations of those involved, are unlikely to be met, as they have never clearly defined goals, other then answers to events , that may not have answers. I can't see as anyone is going to come out of this at the end, whenever that may be, and feel that this achieved what it set out to do. it does in one way, close the book on this issue, as you can't turn around in three or four years, and decide to have yet another inquiry.	0	not toxic

There's several aspects to this new tax that infuriates a lot of taxpayers and voters, one big one being this was not even brought up for debate during their election campaign., both NDP and the Liberals. Now we are stuck with another new tax, welcome to Canada those of you new to this frozen land. I was on a Townhall discussion about this "wealth redistribution tax" (I'm calling it what it truly is) and the deputy premier had a blanket answer to just about every question or concern callers had. Mine was about how the government was going to cover the rebates that 2/3's of Albertans were getting and it was clear at that point what an NDP mandate looks like. Prosperity in an NDP platform means taxes. Irregardless of this economy being in the dumper, those of us still employed are paying out more. Not looking for sympathy, I'm looking for justification. This new tax will do nothing at all to help the environment or curb climate change.	0	not toxic

You obviously aren't listening very carefully.

"Insurance has nothing to do with the cost of medical care." It is difficult to imagine how anyone could say this with a straight face. For some interesting opinions on the topic, just ask anyone who has lost their health care because they lost their job, or could no longer afford the insurance. Among civilized countries, the U.S. has the most expensive, and by many measures one of the least effective health care systems in the world. It is also the only civilized country in the world where one can actually lose one's home because of medical expenses.	0	not toxic
Okay - a show of hands from those of you who drive in Colorado: How many of you - after seeing/passing a sign stating "Right Lane Ends - Merge Left" - how many of you actually (1) turn on your left turn signal and then (2) safely merge into the left lane? Or, do you drive like the vast majority of people I've seen - continue along in the right lane and act as if the vehicles in the left lane don't exist and have to slow down or speed up to accommodate you?

RG headline: "Former investment adviser from Eugene loses lawyer in drug case, accepts sanctions in SEC investigation" the headline...the headline... it sounds punitive as it is... he didn't "lose" his lawyer as in a 3rd party dictated that. the lawyer had to step back because of a conflict of interest. that's not as interesting as maybe the guy was being penalized somehow.. small point maybe but it kind of implies something that isn't accurate. if the headline can't be immediately understood in meaning in the allowed space... reword it.restructure with a sub headline, just get across one idea..... maybe i am the only one, but my first thought was they can't deny him representation - to me, it sounded like he was being punished by having his lawyer taken away.	0	not toxic
No - the demise for Albertans started with crony capitalism at the expense of public infrastructure maintenance and properly funded healthcare and education.

This article is utterly ridiculous. Dr. Papadopoulos simply is someone who points out the truth. Unfortunately, that truth doesn't align with current nefarious UK foreign policy. For example, he was recently on the BBC and pointing out that the White Helmets in Syria who called in the sarin attack on April 4, 2017 are, in actuality, al-Nusra Front terrorists aligned with the FSA and al-Qaeda. That fact is relatively simple to research for oneself simply by pasting "White Helmets terrorists" into the Google search engine. The writer of this article seeks to tar everyone who speaks out about US and UK lies as a 'Russian agent'. That faux meme grew old about 2 years ago. Apparently no one told the propagandist that pumped out this weak piece that the public has caught on to the corrupt MSM painting everyone who exposes them and their Deep State pay masters as 'Russian agents'. If that's the case I guess half of the American and British people are all Russian agents!	0	not toxic

The Mayor, hand-picked by the nice-but-outrageously inept Piercy, is very wrong to oppose or attempt to scuttle this auditor initiative. For whatever reason, the Eugene City Council and Manager have made many, many poor decisions these past several years that have cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. It also has bypassed the citizens in okaying huge projects w/out asking their approval (several times after test polls showed their great unpopularity). Ruiz has shown persistent hubris and worse on many key issues: does any Eugenean who has been paying attention think he puts citizens' needs and wishes ahead of a particular architectural firm or developers' wishes? I urge voters to remember the police auditor. Once, for a very short while, it actually functioned as designed: then, the firings occurred. For a city auditor effectively to function, she must entirely be independent! The cruel and destructive joke that is our governance must stop.	0	not toxic

I have no clue as to what qualifies as a "good theology text" in your modernist mind, but it is beyond dispute that EENS is dogma. It is one thing to say you don't like the teaching, or even that you reject it , but to claim EENS is not the {dogmatic} teaching is intellectually dishonest.

How would you address Pete Kelly's pitch that it was expected to save the state millions rather than, at best, pay for itself?

Balto, if all the people (and businesses) currently paying insurance premiums paid those into the single-payer system as (gasp!) taxes, that must be enough to pay for all the medical care (for reasons below). 1. This new system would have negotiating power with which to drive down pharmaceutical prices and eliminate other excessive costs. 2. Preventive care is often less expensive than acute care, and if everyone were covered, preventive care would be much more likely. 3. No insurance company advertising costs, excessive administration, profits, etc. 4. If everybody else in the world can do it (that is, cover everyone with better care at lower per-person cost), why can't we? Are we stupid? But you raise a legitimate question: If people are ideologically opposed to taxes -- and would rather have a screwed-up system with high premiums, inadequate coverage, many people not covered at all, etc. -- then what can we do? Not much. But claiming that we can't afford it is hogwash.	1	toxic

The Rogers Media keep telling us its not time to panic. The lack of off-season moves was a tell-tale sign that the Jays have no intention of competing for a World Championship.

Ah... the essential question about capital punishment. Mr. Christian, however mistaken he might be, acted in a fashion he felt was "justified" in his own mind. Perhaps, to us, that means "evil" perhaps it means "mentally ill." We condemn him for his actions. Are we now "justified" in our own minds to take the same actions against him? ...claiming, of course, that our actions are Right and Just. We could endlessly debate this question. Meanwhile, IMO, we need to be sure Mr. Christian is never free again to perpetrate another crime. Gary Crum	0	not toxic

Sen. Ron Wyden’s statement on 5-9-2017 regarding the firing FBI Director James Comey: “I have long been a critic of Director Comey, for his views about surveillance and torture, his stance on secret law and his conduct during the investigation into Secretary Clinton. But Donald Trump’s decision to fire him now, in the midst of an investigation into Trump associates and their ties to Russia, is outrageous. Director Comey should be immediately called to testify in an open hearing about the status of the investigation into Russia and Trump associates at the time he was fired. “There can be no question that a fully independent special counsel must be appointed to lead this investigation. At this point, no one in Trump’s chain of command can be trusted to carry out an impartial investigation. “The president would do well to remember that in America, the truth always comes out.”	0	not toxic

Well, you certainly provided nothing. A well regulated militia was, at that time, a substitute for a standing army. Its purpose was to defend the nation at a time where communication was very slow and could not respond to an attack on the United States borders. The well regulated militia was a critical part of national defense at that time. If you know of no well regulated militia, then why does it remain a part of the second amendment and why do weekend soldiers still claim to be well regulated? I am not opposed to US citizens owning guns. I am opposed to the willy nilly way that guns are passed through the blackmarket and personal trading. A simple note of transfer of ownship is all that I would hope for. Trying to determine who is about to go over the wall nuts is nearly impossible. Using gun registration to trace crmiinals who threaten the safety of all US citizens is the goal.	0	not toxic

Will wonders never cease? Mr. Sorensen has written something entirely reasonable and factual. He said "What we should know for a certainty is this. Once you take a position and defend it publicly, it is almost impossible to admit you are wrong and "repent" and change your mind." This is true with individuals. It is even "more true" with religious bodies. Once a religious institution (Protestant, Catholic, Seventh-day Adventist, etc.) makes a pronouncement about "The Truth," writes it down, defends it for years and years and centuries, etc. in public, it is almost impossible for that religious body to admit that they made a mistake at the beginning when someone thought up such a bright theological idea. IMHO, like those who created some early Roman Catholic theology, those who created early Adventist theology made very some poor choices. Trying now to correct things like the Investigative Judgement doctrine is now almost impossible.	0	not toxic

It just shows that nothing can satisfy these people like him whenever there are allegations of abuse because 'believe the victim' is all you need.

While I certainly applaud this new program, I believe that the R-G's gushing editorial is rather misleading. I believe that it has been many years since any significant number of low-level offenders, as referred to in the editorial, have been prosecuted in juvenile court, let alone held in detention. The reason is simple to understand; money. With the county supplying very limited funding, both to the juvenile department and the DA's office, the focus has been on juveniles engaged in much higher level criminal activity. This, of course, makes sense when there are limited resources. So, while this new program may provide some additional resources to deal with low-level offenders, people should not expect that it is going to save any appreciable amount of money. Of course the most important question is whether this will have any demonstrative impact on recitivism. Designed properly, the program may provide the answer in a few years.	0	not toxic

Now we are stuck with another new tax, welcome to Canada those of you new to this frozen land. I was on a Townhall discussion about this "wealth redistribution tax" (I'm calling it what it truly is) and the deputy premier had a blanket answer to just about every question or concern callers had. Mine was about how the government was going to cover the rebates that 2/3's of Albertans were getting and it was clear at that point what an NDP mandate looks like. Prosperity in an NDP platform means taxes. Irregardless of this economy being in the dumper, those of us still employed are paying out more. Not looking for sympathy, I'm looking for justification. This new tax will do nothing at all to help the environment or curb climate change.

"Insurance has nothing to do with the cost of medical care." It is difficult to imagine how anyone could say this with a straight face. For some interesting opinions on the topic, just ask anyone who has lost their health care because they lost their job, or could no longer afford the insurance. Among civilized countries, the U.S. has the most expensive, and by many measures one of the least effective health care systems in the world. It is also the only civilized country in the world where one can actually lose one's home because of medical expenses.

This article is utterly ridiculous. Dr. Papadopoulos simply is someone who points out the truth. Unfortunately, that truth doesn't align with current nefarious UK foreign policy. For example, he was recently on the BBC and pointing out that the White Helmets in Syria who called in the sarin attack on April 4, 2017 are, in actuality, al-Nusra Front terrorists aligned with the FSA and al-Qaeda. That fact is relatively simple to research for oneself simply by pasting "White Helmets terrorists" into the Google search engine. The writer of this article seeks to tar everyone who speaks out about US and UK lies as a 'Russian agent'. That faux meme grew old about 2 years ago. Apparently no one told the propagandist that pumped out this weak piece that the public has caught on to the corrupt MSM painting everyone who exposes them and their Deep State pay masters as 'Russian agents'. If that's the case I guess half of the American and British people are all Russian agents!

The Mayor, hand-picked by the nice-but-outrageously inept Piercy, is very wrong to oppose or attempt to scuttle this auditor initiative. For whatever reason, the Eugene City Council and Manager have made many, many poor decisions these past several years that have cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. It also has bypassed the citizens in okaying huge projects w/out asking their approval (several times after test polls showed their great unpopularity). Ruiz has shown persistent hubris and worse on many key issues: does any Eugenean who has been paying attention think he puts citizens' needs and wishes ahead of a particular architectural firm or developers' wishes? I urge voters to remember the police auditor. Once, for a very short while, it actually functioned as designed: then, the firings occurred. For a city auditor effectively to function, she must entirely be independent! The cruel and destructive joke that is our governance must stop.

Balto, if all the people (and businesses) currently paying insurance premiums paid those into the single-payer system as (gasp!) taxes, that must be enough to pay for all the medical care (for reasons below). 1. This new system would have negotiating power with which to drive down pharmaceutical prices and eliminate other excessive costs. 2. Preventive care is often less expensive than acute care, and if everyone were covered, preventive care would be much more likely. 3. No insurance company advertising costs, excessive administration, profits, etc. 4. If everybody else in the world can do it (that is, cover everyone with better care at lower per-person cost), why can't we? Are we stupid? But you raise a legitimate question: If people are ideologically opposed to taxes -- and would rather have a screwed-up system with high premiums, inadequate coverage, many people not covered at all, etc. -- then what can we do? Not much. But claiming that we can't afford it is hogwash.

Are we now "justified" in our own minds to take the same actions against him? ...claiming, of course, that our actions are Right and Just. We could endlessly debate this question.

Sen. Ron Wyden’s statement on 5-9-2017 regarding the firing FBI Director James Comey: “I have long been a critic of Director Comey, for his views about surveillance and torture, his stance on secret law and his conduct during the investigation into Secretary Clinton. But Donald Trump’s decision to fire him now, in the midst of an investigation into Trump associates and their ties to Russia, is outrageous. Director Comey should be immediately called to testify in an open hearing about the status of the investigation into Russia and Trump associates at the time he was fired. “There can be no question that a fully independent special counsel must be appointed to lead this investigation. At this point, no one in Trump’s chain of command can be trusted to carry out an impartial investigation. “The president would do well to remember that in America, the truth always comes out.”

Well, you certainly provided nothing. A well regulated militia was, at that time, a substitute for a standing army. Its purpose was to defend the nation at a time where communication was very slow and could not respond to an attack on the United States borders. The well regulated militia was a critical part of national defense at that time. If you know of no well regulated militia, then why does it remain a part of the second amendment and why do weekend soldiers still claim to be well regulated? I am not opposed to US citizens owning guns. I am opposed to the willy nilly way that guns are passed through the blackmarket and personal trading. A simple note of transfer of ownship is all that I would hope for. Trying to determine who is about to go over the wall nuts is nearly impossible. Using gun registration to trace crmiinals who threaten the safety of all US citizens is the goal.

Will wonders never cease? Mr. Sorensen has written something entirely reasonable and factual. He said "What we should know for a certainty is this. Once you take a position and defend it publicly, it is almost impossible to admit you are wrong and "repent" and change your mind." This is true with individuals. It is even "more true" with religious bodies. Once a religious institution (Protestant, Catholic, Seventh-day Adventist, etc.) makes a pronouncement about "The Truth," writes it down, defends it for years and years and centuries, etc. in public, it is almost impossible for that religious body to admit that they made a mistake at the beginning when someone thought up such a bright theological idea. IMHO, like those who created some early Roman Catholic theology, those who created early Adventist theology made very some poor choices. Trying now to correct things like the Investigative Judgement doctrine is now almost impossible.

While I certainly applaud this new program, I believe that the R-G's gushing editorial is rather misleading. I believe that it has been many years since any significant number of low-level offenders, as referred to in the editorial, have been prosecuted in juvenile court, let alone held in detention. The reason is simple to understand; money. With the county supplying very limited funding, both to the juvenile department and the DA's office, the focus has been on juveniles engaged in much higher level criminal activity. This, of course, makes sense when there are limited resources. So, while this new program may provide some additional resources to deal with low-level offenders, people should not expect that it is going to save any appreciable amount of money. Of course the most important question is whether this will have any demonstrative impact on recitivism. Designed properly, the program may provide the answer in a few years.
