What happened to Mark Pinkosh also happened, eerily to the letter, to my big brother. He was raped repeatedly by Fr. Ferrario, admonished by the nuns he told, given "F's" in subjects in which he had previously received "A's," and my mother, a catechism teacher at the time, was told she would be fired if my brother didn't stop spreading "demonic" rumors. My brother went on to rape myself and our little sister repeatedly. I've never heard of any other "secondary victims" like myself but I'm sure there are more of us.	0	not toxic

It is interesting to contrast Shylo K. Akuna's conviction and sentence with the fate of the prep school kids who slaughtered the Laysan Albatrosses and destroyed their nests. Should we believe a difference in age of just two years makes all the difference in the world? Akuna, as despicable as his act was, didn't actually kill the endangered monk seal. Perhaps then, the penalty you face for harassing or killing an endangered creature depends on the specific endangered creature.	0	not toxic

This sounds like a serious causation/correlation issue. The uptick in crime correlates with the time of SB91, so it is assumed to be the cause. It's an odd assumption given the national level problem with the opioid epidemic correlates with the same time period and that criminal activity is increasing even where the states have not enacted a bill like SB91. Anyway you look at it, you need data and not just ill-informed reactions to make sure you are actually addressing the source of the problem. My guess about the opioid epidemic is also pure speculation based on correlation. Hopefully the police department's numbers will be compared with L48 cities if they find an uptick to see if a national level problem is the more likely source of the problem.	0	not toxic
Harper, for all his faults (and I say that as a REAL conservative) knew global warming was a hoax and a scam. The only problem is he couldn't just come out and say it.

I think the outrage is because we consider ourselves to be fighting racism when we marginalize the overt expression of racism ("Saffron Colonial" food, a swastika tattoo, a confederate flag, a gentrified historically black neighborhood). We are, however, failing to do anything about racism when we express outrage. Lobby for affordable housing near business centers to reverse gentrification, and for school funding to not be so heavily dependent on local property taxes (wherein poor neighbhorhood = poor school); reject NIMBYisms when we advocate for the changes in our neighborhoods (which necessarily forces negative changes on neighborhoods too busy/poor to advocate); hire someone who is NOT a cis-het white man, even if that person is the most qualified (because he's had the most opportunities). Sure, boycott a restaurant, but also, examine whether that action is enough to categorize you as "not a racist", or if it just makes you a person who "doesn't want to talk about it"...	0	not toxic

Defense, as usual, awful. Passes open over the middle, man-to-man/cover 0 coverage which isn't working, runs up the middle with no middle linebacker or safety support. Same BS game after game.

From what I understand the facts of the case were pretty straightforward.

And this very comment provides evidence that you haven't really read HV with an open mind and heart, and thus, you haven't yet grasped it. As if "HV says that a primary reason for having intercourse is procreation" from your pen doesn't also prove this deficiency. The full fruits of marriage aren't just sex, aren't just children, but a life of gift to the good of these first fruits of marriage! To the proper integral development of these new children of God. Saying yes to God is demanding! Love demands! HV is honest in that it doesn't shy away from the demands of God. The secular world doesn't even want to hear about God, much less about a "cleverly demanding" God, a God Who knows our nature, and knows that we are happiest when we're not focused on ourselves and our self-pity.

Representatives such as Jim Colver, Lynn Gattis and Wes Keller could do a lot to help this problem by sponsoring an Alaska noncommercial seed sharing law, like Pennsylvania, Montana and California have passed.

I'm in complete agreement with DeSanctis. In fact, as a post-Vatican II Catholic, this nostalgic re-envisioning of church interiors and ritual is one of the reasons I decided to leave. I was raised and then educated, formed and worked as a lay minister by and in an institution who worked very hard encourage full participation of the laity, creating less of a sense of the priest being superior in some way. Under Benedict's reign, I saw these acts of encouragement and welcome slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) stripped away. The two final straws for me was when our Parish Director was stripped of her preaching rights, and when our new (conservative) pastor re-instituted a formal ceremony for installing the left-over hosts in the tabernacle. I swear to God, as the communion ministers bowed in supplication and then turned the key in the lock I heard the heavens shout, "Jesus has left the building." Indeed, it seems he has.

CriticalReader, With all due respect, you appear to have little factual grasp of what the 2nd Amendment was historically intended to accomplish. It has absolutely nothing to do with hunting (subsistence or otherwise) nor does it have anything to do with any sort recreational pursuit. By mentioning the U.S. military and "Federal law enforcement" (whatever that is) as reasons to mitigate the the 2nd Amendment, you fatally weaken your argument. Also, due to landmark civil rights decisions, the "militia" as it has presently evolved, can now be interpreted to include all enfranchised adults, irrespective of age or economic status. Furthermore, the Supreme Court has ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the 2nd Amendment constitutes an INDIVIDUAL right, unconnected with service or membership in a militia. I frankly don't see a serious challenge to the 2nd Amendment in the near future and for one reason: President Trump will almost surely appoint two new Supreme Court Justices.	0	not toxic

You know why buffalo don't roam the great plains any more? Farming. But please tell me how raising an animal and killing it for food is more noble than hunting a wild free range animal. Farmed animals suffer way more indignities than wild animals do.

Hi Loy, Sadly, you are correct. But unfortunately Arroyo only thinks in black/white. This issue is ONE of the keystone areas for the cardinals, arch/bishops to PRACTICE a pastoral approach to people/couples in these situations. Too many members of the hierarchy have forgotten that what the church is FOR has to dictate HOW the church is. In February 2014, a Spanish-language media company, Univision Communications, published the results of a global survey of Catholic opinion---one of several surveys that was taken in relation to the Synod of Bishops--October 5-19, 2015. The survey was based on data gathered from 12,038 self-identified adult Catholics in twelve countries. Countries selected were those with eleven highest populations of Catholics; Brazil; Mexico; Philippines; U.S. of A.; Italy; Colombia; France; Poland; Spain; Democratic Republic of Congo; Argentina; and Uganda. Together, these nations account for 60% of the world's Catholic population.	0	not toxic
Millions of Lebanese did not go to Brazil. At best 500,000 people from Lebanon and Syria migrated to Brazil and they were overwhelmingly Christian. Michel Temer, current President of Brazil is of Christian Lebanese origin. Brazil declared war on Japan in August 1942 and participated from Sept 1944 to May 1945, last 9 months in the war. Its forces fought in Italy. By Sept 1944 Japan was largely defeated and there was no pressing need to place Japanese Brazilians in concentration camps like the USA and Canada. Brazil did not suffer the terrible and unprovoked surprise attack on Hawaii which traumatized Americans. Japanese Brazilians were subjected to a series of restrictive measures, requirement of safe conduct to travel the country, closure of 200 Japanese schools, thousands of Japanese immigrants arrested or expelled from Brazil on suspicion of espionage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Brazilians#Prejudice_and_forced_assimilation Try posting less hyperbole and more facts.	0	not toxic

Paul: There is nothing inherently "unfair"about expressing one's opinion. Indeed, it is my opinion that for a woman to support Trump to be our President would require dismissing that he is the crude, tasteless, misogynistic lout he is or, perhaps, have such low self-esteem that she feels his attitude and actions are OK. I'd really enjoy a face-to-face discussion over this issue with a woman (or women) who support Mr. Trump. I'd like to understand their viewpoint. Female Trump supporters: Give me a call and I'll be happy to meet you in some public venue for coffee and such a discussion.

Joni Kamiya, Here is information from your factsheet. "What are some signs and symptoms from a brief exposure to chlorpyrifos? Chlorpyrifos affects the nervous system of people, pets, and other animals the same way it affects the target pest. Signs and symptoms can appear within minutes to hours after exposure. These effects can last for days or even weeks. During this time, the body is replacing the depleted enzymes in the nervous system so it can function normally again. Exposure to small amounts of chlorpyrifos can cause runny nose, tears, and increased saliva or drooling. People may sweat, and develop headache, nausea, and dizziness. More serious exposures can cause vomiting, abdominal muscle cramps, muscle twitching, tremors and weakness, and loss of coordination. Sometimes people develop diarrhea or blurred or darkened vision. In severe poisoning cases, exposure can lead to unconsciousness, loss of bladder and bowel control, convulsions, difficulty in breathing, and paralysis."	0	not toxic

Certainly way faster. But carry more people is a big question mark. The T-Rex light rail line and the additional lanes on I-25 combine to carry a LOT of people. And of course building/expanding a major corridor in a fully-developed section of a major city is gonna be FAR more costly than building out on mostly-undeveloped prairie between DIA and Greeley. That would be true the other way around too (i.e. if they tried to build hyperloop through the middle of the city rather than out on the open prairie as proposed). Hopefully the $3B estimate is just a SWAG and is way high (even though cost estimates tend to be off in the opposite direction). One would hope that prefab tube sections would enable the costs to be much cheaper than that. If it isn't, it could be DOA even if we are picked.	0	not toxic

The author cites the loss of the business case. I don't believe that to be true. Yes prices have dropped and yes there is a consolidation going on in the industry that will squeeze out costs now and into the future. Newer technology is being brought to bear that will further reduce operating costs. Production will increase, albeit more slowly. The key driver in the business case is on the demand side. And that demand is projected to grow and keep on growing. Supply will keep up in Canada. Pipeline operators make their money on volume (nominations) and that will be met. Now was EE at risk from KXL, the TransMountain Expansion, etc. Yes, to a degree in that these lines are far more advanced along the process.

Russian-linked Facebook ads targeted Michigan and Wisconsin https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/politics/russian-facebook-ads-michigan-wisconsin/ . "A number of Russian-linked Facebook ads specifically targeted Michigan and Wisconsin, two states crucial to Donald Trump's victory last November, according to four sources with direct knowledge of the situation. . Michigan saw the closest presidential contest in the country -- Trump beat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by about 10,700 votes out of nearly 4.8 million ballots cast.

This sounds like a serious causation/correlation issue. The uptick in crime correlates with the time of SB91, so it is assumed to be the cause. It's an odd assumption given the national level problem with the opioid epidemic correlates with the same time period and that criminal activity is increasing even where the states have not enacted a bill like SB91. Anyway you look at it, you need data and not just ill-informed reactions to make sure you are actually addressing the source of the problem. My guess about the opioid epidemic is also pure speculation based on correlation. Hopefully the police department's numbers will be compared with L48 cities if they find an uptick to see if a national level problem is the more likely source of the problem.

Harper, for all his faults (and I say that as a REAL conservative) knew global warming was a hoax and a scam. The only problem is he couldn't just come out and say it. For two reasons: a) he would have been pilloried by the global warming religion and; b) his regime needed that cash just as much as the current regime does. What a problem.

I think the outrage is because we consider ourselves to be fighting racism when we marginalize the overt expression of racism ("Saffron Colonial" food, a swastika tattoo, a confederate flag, a gentrified historically black neighborhood). We are, however, failing to do anything about racism when we express outrage. Lobby for affordable housing near business centers to reverse gentrification, and for school funding to not be so heavily dependent on local property taxes (wherein poor neighbhorhood = poor school); reject NIMBYisms when we advocate for the changes in our neighborhoods (which necessarily forces negative changes on neighborhoods too busy/poor to advocate); hire someone who is NOT a cis-het white man, even if that person is the most qualified (because he's had the most opportunities). Sure, boycott a restaurant, but also, examine whether that action is enough to categorize you as "not a racist", or if it just makes you a person who "doesn't want to talk about it"...

I'm in complete agreement with DeSanctis. In fact, as a post-Vatican II Catholic, this nostalgic re-envisioning of church interiors and ritual is one of the reasons I decided to leave. I was raised and then educated, formed and worked as a lay minister by and in an institution who worked very hard encourage full participation of the laity, creating less of a sense of the priest being superior in some way. Under Benedict's reign, I saw these acts of encouragement and welcome slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) stripped away. The two final straws for me was when our Parish Director was stripped of her preaching rights, and when our new (conservative) pastor re-instituted a formal ceremony for installing the left-over hosts in the tabernacle. I swear to God, as the communion ministers bowed in supplication and then turned the key in the lock I heard the heavens shout, "Jesus has left the building." Indeed, it seems he has.

CriticalReader, With all due respect, you appear to have little factual grasp of what the 2nd Amendment was historically intended to accomplish. It has absolutely nothing to do with hunting (subsistence or otherwise) nor does it have anything to do with any sort recreational pursuit. By mentioning the U.S. military and "Federal law enforcement" (whatever that is) as reasons to mitigate the the 2nd Amendment, you fatally weaken your argument. Also, due to landmark civil rights decisions, the "militia" as it has presently evolved, can now be interpreted to include all enfranchised adults, irrespective of age or economic status. Furthermore, the Supreme Court has ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the 2nd Amendment constitutes an INDIVIDUAL right, unconnected with service or membership in a militia. I frankly don't see a serious challenge to the 2nd Amendment in the near future and for one reason: President Trump will almost surely appoint two new Supreme Court Justices.

The survey was based on data gathered from 12,038 self-identified adult Catholics in twelve countries. Countries selected were those with eleven highest populations of Catholics; Brazil; Mexico; Philippines; U.S. of A.; Italy; Colombia; France; Poland; Spain; Democratic Republic of Congo; Argentina; and Uganda. Together, these nations account for 60% of the world's Catholic population.

Millions of Lebanese did not go to Brazil. At best 500,000 people from Lebanon and Syria migrated to Brazil and they were overwhelmingly Christian. Michel Temer, current President of Brazil is of Christian Lebanese origin. Brazil declared war on Japan in August 1942 and participated from Sept 1944 to May 1945, last 9 months in the war. Its forces fought in Italy. By Sept 1944 Japan was largely defeated and there was no pressing need to place Japanese Brazilians in concentration camps like the USA and Canada. Brazil did not suffer the terrible and unprovoked surprise attack on Hawaii which traumatized Americans. Japanese Brazilians were subjected to a series of restrictive measures, requirement of safe conduct to travel the country, closure of 200 Japanese schools, thousands of Japanese immigrants arrested or expelled from Brazil on suspicion of espionage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Brazilians#Prejudice_and_forced_assimilation Try posting less hyperbole and more facts.

Joni Kamiya, Here is information from your factsheet. "What are some signs and symptoms from a brief exposure to chlorpyrifos? Chlorpyrifos affects the nervous system of people, pets, and other animals the same way it affects the target pest. Signs and symptoms can appear within minutes to hours after exposure. These effects can last for days or even weeks. During this time, the body is replacing the depleted enzymes in the nervous system so it can function normally again. Exposure to small amounts of chlorpyrifos can cause runny nose, tears, and increased saliva or drooling. People may sweat, and develop headache, nausea, and dizziness. More serious exposures can cause vomiting, abdominal muscle cramps, muscle twitching, tremors and weakness, and loss of coordination. Sometimes people develop diarrhea or blurred or darkened vision. In severe poisoning cases, exposure can lead to unconsciousness, loss of bladder and bowel control, convulsions, difficulty in breathing, and paralysis."

Certainly way faster. But carry more people is a big question mark. The T-Rex light rail line and the additional lanes on I-25 combine to carry a LOT of people. And of course building/expanding a major corridor in a fully-developed section of a major city is gonna be FAR more costly than building out on mostly-undeveloped prairie between DIA and Greeley. That would be true the other way around too (i.e. if they tried to build hyperloop through the middle of the city rather than out on the open prairie as proposed). Hopefully the $3B estimate is just a SWAG and is way high (even though cost estimates tend to be off in the opposite direction). One would hope that prefab tube sections would enable the costs to be much cheaper than that. If it isn't, it could be DOA even if we are picked.

The author cites the loss of the business case. I don't believe that to be true. Yes prices have dropped and yes there is a consolidation going on in the industry that will squeeze out costs now and into the future. Newer technology is being brought to bear that will further reduce operating costs. Production will increase, albeit more slowly. The key driver in the business case is on the demand side. And that demand is projected to grow and keep on growing. Supply will keep up in Canada. Pipeline operators make their money on volume (nominations) and that will be met. Now was EE at risk from KXL, the TransMountain Expansion, etc. Yes, to a degree in that these lines are far more advanced along the process. And that process is being hindered by multiple levels of governance and over the top regulatory hurdles - the true root cause of this cancellation.
