And there are 40 million plus households with firearms, and 300 plus million firearms in the country. The tragedies are so rare, tens out of tens of -millions- of children, as to be notable by that rarity. Firearms barely register on the list of accidental or deliberate causes of death and injury. Obviously gun safety is a critical topic and, like sex ed, probably should be taught in a non-political way at age-appropriate levels in schools. That would buttress the existing and ongoing trend of decreasing rates of accidental death and injury. Sadly, in many of these cases the firearm is not owned by a lawful possessor, like the cases involving a gun hidden at a mother's home by a non-resident criminal boyfriend, without her knowledge. There is little any education campaign or legislation can do in those situations.	0	not toxic

I was born into a "white collar professional" family. I was not required to work other than mow the lawn and take out the trash and split wood. I love anything with a motor at age 12 I decided I wanted to be a logger so I could run "equipment" well it took three years to get on a logging site. So I started out baling hay and running a tractor at age 12 by age 15 I could run anything on a friend of the family dairy operation. Later in life after all the white collar jobs that, I had they didn't satisfy the itch to do real work. So I switched to back to blue collar work. At 51 years old I still drive semi-truck and operate heavy equipment. MR. Weddleton, got the shaft from a over regulated system.

<< If, like W. Bush and Cheney, he starts a war of opportunity ... >> Trump is flirting with the idea of nominating John Bolton as the chief under secretary to the Secretary of State. This is a sure sign that Trump is looking for a place and an excuse to wage war -- that has been John Bolton's main function in government service. Trump lied (everyone knows that he lied: it's preserved on tape) when he said that he had opposed the invasion of Iraq. More important, he lied when he said that he would not lead the United States into another similar war. Trump’s fragile adolescent male ego requires a war; more than that, he knows that he needs a war to distract the media and the public from the massive transfer of wealth, resources and opportunities from the bottom 98% to the top 2% which will be occurring on his watch. Reporting today suggests that Bolton may not be nominated, or may not be confirmed if he is nominated. Still, Trump's interest in Bolton tips his hand.	0	not toxic

Respectfully EIDOLON, the ACA did nothing to control costs which have gone up by 20% or greater every year it's been in force. Secondly, it took away the cheaper policies people had, like paying for in-house drug addiction treatment, mental health commitment and treatment, etc. to name but a few, which the now cheaper plans won't be soaking people for who aren't addicts or have mental issues, just to name a few of the coverages they'll remove, just like when Mr. Obama lied about such policies saying folks could keep them. Also these same policies had catastrophic needs in them, but with high deductibles just like the ACA high deductibles What it didn't have was government subsidies, of which 80% on the ACA require at taxpayer expense! Without those subsidies which are scheduled to cease in time under the ACA, it will implode. Thus the ACA is medical welfare at taxpayers expense, which also hits the middle class with higher premiums offsetting the ACA losses as the insurers raise rates	0	not toxic
Another election is pennies on the dollar compared to the damage Horgan will do to BC and it won't take long to see why the NDP were reduced to two seats 16 years ago. Many urban voters sided with Horgan based on the fallacy that he could make housing affordable - well housing will get cheaper in Fort St. John and in virtually every rural community that relies on resources to put food on the table. Have most people read the Green/NDP Manifesto? Big increases to welfare and government unions, no bridge tolls, cheaper ferries, $10/day childcare, siding with US-funded career activists over fellow Canadians in Alberta, and a veto given to First Nations on all resource projects... seriously, who will pay for this? The Greens are made up of professional activists who protest for a living and the NDP and unions are one in the same - Wynne spending $42 billion to save $24 billion and $2.5 million to pay for teacher's pizzas and you get the picture of an NDP/Greens coalition.	0	not toxic

The judge had this to say: “The Crown failed to produce any evidence of lack of consent at any time.” I think the judge doesn't understand how to apply the law. This assertion of his indicates he believes that consent is implied, or the ambient state. There is no such thing as implied consent or presumed consent. There should have to be proof of consent. The Crown's job is to show lack of capacity for consent and precedence in law says inebriation can render one incapacitated. Then the judge also said (with certainty) that drunk people can consent seemingly without awareness that his statement is no absolute in law. This case is yet another sordid example of judges who let their implicit biases interfere in jurisprudence and the victims suffer.	0	not toxic

If this were really a Corporate tax which would be paid by the corporations, I could go there. Since it is actually a sales tax which is going to be passed on to the least wealthy in Oregon by Albertsons-Safeway, Wal-Mart, Bi-Mart, and their pharmacies with none of the usual exemptions for food, medicine and necessities, I can't agree. Personally, I will survive with a 2.5% increase in my costs at those stores and pharmacies; Oregon Trail types, those totally relying on Social Security or Social Security Disability or who are below the poverty level will really feel the impact. The main beneficiaries of this new tax at their expense will be SEIU 503, AFSCME, and the teachers and public service union members. So let it be written; so let it be done.

conclusion: On the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Vatican II, in Oct. 2011, Pope Benedict XVI declared the period from Oct. 2012 to the Solemnity of Christ the King at the end of Nov. 2013 a Year of Faith: “...a good opportunity to help people understand that the texts bequeathed by the Council Fathers, in the words of John Paul II, 'have lost nothing of their value or brilliance. They need to be read correctly, to be widely known and taken to heart as important and normative texts of the Magisterium, within the Church's Tradition. ... I feel more than ever in duty bound to point to the Council as the great grace bestowed on the Church in the 20th century: there we find a sure compass by which to take our bearings in the century now beginning.” "You have been told, O man, what is required of you: only to do the right and to love goodness and to walk humbly with your God.”	0	not toxic

I'm not speaking ROI in the sense you seem to have taken it. Social welfare exists for compassionate as well as economic reasons. If we spend most of the money on the bureaucracy of the welfare system, then very small fraction of that money makes it to the intended demographic. This would in fact be a drain on the tax payer, with no return on the investment. UBI just sends everyone a cheque, and then allows the tax system to ensure the UBI benefits those it needs to. This = investing in the consumer economy, rather than spending a bunch of money on civil servants, which I assume is your least favourite thing.	0	not toxic

The only point I was (sarcastically) making is that Trump's supporters frequently state he's "a great business man", seeming to largely ignore two rather important issues. The first of which is that he came from a highly privileged background, which yes, in fact, does make it much much easier to succeed. More importantly though, is the second point which is that Donald Trump has made a career out of ripping people off, and there is a long trail of bankruptcies, lawsuits, unpaid workers, and stiffed contractors in his wake as proof. Trump University is just the tip of the iceberg. Donald Trump has indeed amassed quite a fortune, but his principle tactic is patent dishonesty. This does not make a "good business man", it just makes him a sociopath. There are also numerous wealthy individuals who have pointed out that a truly good business man could have amassed a much more impressive portfolio that he has, given what he started with, simply by investing.	1	toxic
For 20 years we owned a shrimp broodstock company at NELHA at Keahole Point. We shipped our farm raised shrimp worldwide.

What I don't get is why attack Germany if they are so appreciated and good to Muslims? Thats a fine Thank You to their naive generosity. The answer is purely access. There is no reason to kill German children, but they are accessible due to immigration policies. Secondly What is odd about the media spin is ...The day the Berlin incident happened, I heard on CBC radio that last week (before this truck attack), the Germans had defused 2 pipe bombs placed at two separate Christmas markets like the one attacked. The report said they arrested a 12 year old refugee boy working on behalf of people unknown, but the German authorities chose not to tell anyone. Since this CBC report three days ago, I have seen no mention in western media again of the pipe bombs placed at similar targets in the days before. WHY is that story being hidden???! There is all this talk of "fake news". Yes, its coming from German government and other apologist western media and governments. No wonder Trump won.	0	not toxic
Time to read the small print. NATO was intended to tie the USA, and Canada, into a defense of Western Europe. I am not certain it requires the European signatories to defend North America. Second, they are "mutual defense provisions". What are we doing to help defend the USA against a missile attack? Anything? No huh? We are not being very mutual, even when offered the opportunity to be so. So if missiles are launched at the USA, I am sure we will rush to help, after the attack is over. They might even say thank you. We will do squat during the attack and have equipped ourselves to do nothing but squat during the attack. But you want to insist that the USA has to defend us?

If the point of this article is the "headline", it misses the point. I doubt there are many real racists who would be persuaded to abandon their prejudices by meeting the enemy. Their hatred is visceral and irrational. They are usually fonts of misinformation. However, there are many folks today who are labelled racists who are prejudiced against the practices or beliefs of certain ethnic or religious groups but have no personal animus against individuals of those groups and may even "know" members of those groups and like them based on who they are as individuals. Using Muslims as examples, many Canadians may find offensive the wearing of a burqa or the idea of a writer having his life imperilled by a fatwah and therefore want governments to exercise caution about admitting people from countries where those habits and beliefs are common. Getting to know someone who hews to these practices doesn't do anything to remove the "prejudice".	0	not toxic

More important, he lied when he said that he would not lead the United States into another similar war. Trump’s fragile adolescent male ego requires a war; more than that, he knows that he needs a war to distract the media and the public from the massive transfer of wealth, resources and opportunities from the bottom 98% to the top 2% which will be occurring on his watch. Reporting today suggests that Bolton may not be nominated, or may not be confirmed if he is nominated. Still, Trump's interest in Bolton tips his hand.

Respectfully EIDOLON, the ACA did nothing to control costs which have gone up by 20% or greater every year it's been in force. Secondly, it took away the cheaper policies people had, like paying for in-house drug addiction treatment, mental health commitment and treatment, etc. to name but a few, which the now cheaper plans won't be soaking people for who aren't addicts or have mental issues, just to name a few of the coverages they'll remove, just like when Mr. Obama lied about such policies saying folks could keep them. Also these same policies had catastrophic needs in them, but with high deductibles just like the ACA high deductibles What it didn't have was government subsidies, of which 80% on the ACA require at taxpayer expense! Without those subsidies which are scheduled to cease in time under the ACA, it will implode. Thus the ACA is medical welfare at taxpayers expense, which also hits the middle class with higher premiums offsetting the ACA losses as the insurers raise rates

Another election is pennies on the dollar compared to the damage Horgan will do to BC and it won't take long to see why the NDP were reduced to two seats 16 years ago. Many urban voters sided with Horgan based on the fallacy that he could make housing affordable - well housing will get cheaper in Fort St. John and in virtually every rural community that relies on resources to put food on the table. Have most people read the Green/NDP Manifesto? Big increases to welfare and government unions, no bridge tolls, cheaper ferries, $10/day childcare, siding with US-funded career activists over fellow Canadians in Alberta, and a veto given to First Nations on all resource projects... seriously, who will pay for this? The Greens are made up of professional activists who protest for a living and the NDP and unions are one in the same - Wynne spending $42 billion to save $24 billion and $2.5 million to pay for teacher's pizzas and you get the picture of an NDP/Greens coalition.

The judge had this to say: “The Crown failed to produce any evidence of lack of consent at any time.” I think the judge doesn't understand how to apply the law. This assertion of his indicates he believes that consent is implied, or the ambient state. There is no such thing as implied consent or presumed consent. There should have to be proof of consent. The Crown's job is to show lack of capacity for consent and precedence in law says inebriation can render one incapacitated. Then the judge also said (with certainty) that drunk people can consent seemingly without awareness that his statement is no absolute in law. This case is yet another sordid example of judges who let their implicit biases interfere in jurisprudence and the victims suffer.

If this were really a Corporate tax which would be paid by the corporations, I could go there. Since it is actually a sales tax which is going to be passed on to the least wealthy in Oregon by Albertsons-Safeway, Wal-Mart, Bi-Mart, and their pharmacies with none of the usual exemptions for food, medicine and necessities, I can't agree. Personally, I will survive with a 2.5% increase in my costs at those stores and pharmacies; Oregon Trail types, those totally relying on Social Security or Social Security Disability or who are below the poverty level will really feel the impact. The main beneficiaries of this new tax at their expense will be SEIU 503, AFSCME, and the teachers and public service union members. So let it be written; so let it be done. Vote your conscience; that's my plan.

They need to be read correctly, to be widely known and taken to heart as important and normative texts of the Magisterium, within the Church's Tradition. ... I feel more than ever in duty bound to point to the Council as the great grace bestowed on the Church in the 20th century: there we find a sure compass by which to take our bearings in the century now beginning.” "You have been told, O man, what is required of you: only to do the right and to love goodness and to walk humbly with your God.”

I'm not speaking ROI in the sense you seem to have taken it. Social welfare exists for compassionate as well as economic reasons. If we spend most of the money on the bureaucracy of the welfare system, then very small fraction of that money makes it to the intended demographic. This would in fact be a drain on the tax payer, with no return on the investment. UBI just sends everyone a cheque, and then allows the tax system to ensure the UBI benefits those it needs to. This = investing in the consumer economy, rather than spending a bunch of money on civil servants, which I assume is your least favourite thing.

The only point I was (sarcastically) making is that Trump's supporters frequently state he's "a great business man", seeming to largely ignore two rather important issues. The first of which is that he came from a highly privileged background, which yes, in fact, does make it much much easier to succeed. More importantly though, is the second point which is that Donald Trump has made a career out of ripping people off, and there is a long trail of bankruptcies, lawsuits, unpaid workers, and stiffed contractors in his wake as proof. Trump University is just the tip of the iceberg. Donald Trump has indeed amassed quite a fortune, but his principle tactic is patent dishonesty. This does not make a "good business man", it just makes him a sociopath. There are also numerous wealthy individuals who have pointed out that a truly good business man could have amassed a much more impressive portfolio that he has, given what he started with, simply by investing.

What I don't get is why attack Germany if they are so appreciated and good to Muslims? Thats a fine Thank You to their naive generosity. The answer is purely access. There is no reason to kill German children, but they are accessible due to immigration policies. Secondly What is odd about the media spin is ...The day the Berlin incident happened, I heard on CBC radio that last week (before this truck attack), the Germans had defused 2 pipe bombs placed at two separate Christmas markets like the one attacked. The report said they arrested a 12 year old refugee boy working on behalf of people unknown, but the German authorities chose not to tell anyone. Since this CBC report three days ago, I have seen no mention in western media again of the pipe bombs placed at similar targets in the days before. WHY is that story being hidden???! There is all this talk of "fake news". Yes, its coming from German government and other apologist western media and governments. No wonder Trump won.

Time to read the small print. NATO was intended to tie the USA, and Canada, into a defense of Western Europe. I am not certain it requires the European signatories to defend North America. Second, they are "mutual defense provisions". What are we doing to help defend the USA against a missile attack? Anything? No huh? We are not being very mutual, even when offered the opportunity to be so. So if missiles are launched at the USA, I am sure we will rush to help, after the attack is over. They might even say thank you. We will do squat during the attack and have equipped ourselves to do nothing but squat during the attack. But you want to insist that the USA has to defend us? I am at a loss as how to express my contempt for this opinion and stay within the bounds of good behavior required of a participant (though I think that was a pretty good effort).

Their hatred is visceral and irrational. They are usually fonts of misinformation. However, there are many folks today who are labelled racists who are prejudiced against the practices or beliefs of certain ethnic or religious groups but have no personal animus against individuals of those groups and may even "know" members of those groups and like them based on who they are as individuals. Using Muslims as examples, many Canadians may find offensive the wearing of a burqa or the idea of a writer having his life imperilled by a fatwah and therefore want governments to exercise caution about admitting people from countries where those habits and beliefs are common. Getting to know someone who hews to these practices doesn't do anything to remove the "prejudice".
