We need one more sin tax. Prostitution! A woman has the right to do anything with her body she wants to. That clearly should include selling access to it as she chooses. Today, she can sell views of her nude body (and in person, at least in Oregon) whenever she wants to and prostitution would just be another moneymaker for the State and Federal governments. And only those who wish to participate as either a provider or a customer would be effected. The rest of us could just receive the tax "moneys [to] benefit states, schools, health institutions, educational systems, and whatever else the state wants to put them to. Rake it in."!

Mr Shron reminds us that Britain only wanted to regain control of immigration by invoking and compares it to the idea of Canada giving up control of immigration to the US. His comparison is incomplete. What if as quid pro quo for the US arrangement Canadians were given the right to freely enter, work and live in the States? I just want to say that someting is given up and as a one of the many Brits who work and live in Germany and now race to apply for German citizenship I wish we had had the right to vote on the Brexit referendum!

Five million people voted for the Conservatives in the last election, and you just lump them altogether and cast them all aside as not wanted in "your" Canada. People wonder if Canada is divided, and look to blame anyone who doesn't agree with them. Telling 5 million people that they shouldn't be allowed to have a Conservative government and who they had was some kind of fanatic, certainly helps to keep the division going. The left always have seen themselves of the keepers of democracy , and barely tolerated anyone else. The arrogance is finely coming home to roost, as they are reaping what they have sown.

Anyway, those are excellent questions you can share with Mr. Molen when you call to discuss the newspaper's deficiencies and how you'd like to help.

I am sure glad that we live in REAL rural Alaska. No government, no city, no zoning, no political B.S., and no nosy neighbors telling us what to do! Neighbors out here are like family, and we always help each other out. We work hard, raised our families, grandchildren come for the summers, we know were our salvation comes from, and we grow older and pass away. Here is a Alaskan thought. Instead of bashing and condemning these people. With David Szabo's permission. How about folks starting a fund to help folks out like this. If 10,000 people donated $5.00 one time, out of their daily espresso habit. And or donated some time/equipment to help clean it up. (by the $50,000 estimation cost) Maybe even sell some of it. It sure would go a long way of making things more neighborly. We are live a simple life out here, well below the poverty level. But I will put my $ where my mouth is. If someone does set up a fund. I will donate the first $ 10.00. Take care, be safe. God bless. Griz

If you lived in Cajun Country or Barcelona, it would be advantageous to speak like the locals. Proper American English is not proper in the UK. The spelling and grammar in your own comment are improper in either country. Proper nouns, like Cajun and Catalonian should be capitalized (and yes, those were used as nouns referring to the respective languages, not adjectives; though they should be capitalized in either case).

In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Alzheimer's is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Those with Alzheimer's live an average of eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others."

I've lived in the Eugene/Springfield area going back to 1993 when I first settled in Eugene. And I certainly cannot remember the RG ever not endorsing any tax increase or new taxes, no matter how outlandish or excessive they were. That includes both the 2011 Eugene City Income Tax proposal for schools ( which was soundly defeated ), and also the Monthly Eugene City Fee ( defeated in 2013 ). The RG supported the 2007 County Income Tax proposal too, which 71% of the voters voted against. The Register Guard clearly believes that the public should be taxed much heavier.

2. Safety issues cannot be resolved technologically. False. The phrase "walk-away safe" indicates that one can have a reactor running normally and walk-away from it without any bad consequences - apart from the loss of electricity. The current designs are not walk-away safe but the latest version of light water reactors (Koeberg is an early example of this kind) - the ones being built at the moment - approach that status. Change the design of the reactor to such as an MSR, a Molten Salt Reactor, and there is no doubt of walk-away safety. So "cannot be resolved technologically" is a statement which can only be made (with such confidence!) by a non-expert.

Implicit in the "pro-life" criticism of Clinton is the preposterous notion that Trump is pro-life, that he cares about abortion. A racist by definition is anti-life; anyone who mocks the handicapped is by definition anti-life. Her pro-choice voting record and policies notwithstanding, Clinton has done more to reduce the number and the rate of abortions in this country than Trump ever has or ever will. At least the priest at the Mass I attended today didn't endorse Trump; he recommended a write-in. When the history of the church in the United States during the first two decades of the twenty-first century is written, historians will note that some putatively ‘pro-life’ and ‘pro-family’ members of the church, including some of its clergy, disgraced those movements and embarrassed the church by giving the GOP a pass as it descended into right-wing ideology, even to the point of rationalizing, justifying, even recommending a vote for the racist, fascist Republican nominee. Deplorable.

For the Church all that is needed has been taught clearly by Jesus of Nazareth more then 2000 years ago. It needs no other moral system then that. Sadly, the magisterium has become apostate at times in making the opposites the rule of Church laws. If we stick with the "moral system" taught and reflected in the Gospels, we cannot go wrong.

this planet need fewer people - fullstop. EI costs everyone. The real cost is disruption to the workplace as we have to recruit people and tell them they will likely be fired in 1 year's time (I've had to put up with the tears when that happens). You think there are highly skilled workers just sitting around waiting to take a job that only lasts one year and done?? Then we have to spend a lot of money training them, putting up with weak production while they learn the ropes , and often there is a merrygoround of temp workers who can never do the job like an experienced long time employee. Maternity leave is a heavy burden and a big weakness in our economy. Making it 18 months is truly a nightmare scenerio. 6 months would be fair, and generous enough.

Sorry officer, the lesson here is...if the plane is already boarded and seated, and 4 United crewmembers show up at the last minute and need to dead-head, it is grossly inappropriate to force people off the plane to accommodate non-scheduled employees. Lesson #2 is, in a free market economy, you continue to up the bid to buy back the seats until someone gives them up "voluntarily". Not belligerent force and coercion as was the case here Lesson #3, you don't physically assault someone who is behaving lawfully. Not cooperating with police is not illegal, if the police have no legal grounds to forcibly remove you in the first place. This person was not being trespassed by united, you don't go hands on to remove someone to enforce internal airline policy.

So Poipu has the highest totals, but that beach also has significantly higher daily usage than Salt Pond.

Read the book "One Second After". It's a novel that addressed what would happen if the US was hit by an EMP. It's pretty nasty. If the electric grid gets fried it means no food, medicine or other essentials get delivered, no running water, no refrigeration, etc. People turn into animals fighting for survival. It's not that expensive to shield the grid from an EMP attack but, for whatever reason, Congress has ignored this vulnerability for a long time.

I have been paying attention to John's articles since at least 2008. Since then I have acquired 9 of these stocks. Prior to 2008 I listened and acted on some of the noise I read about. My lesson was to end up with quite a collection of companies that actually went bankrupt and I lost all my investment. It was quite an accomplishment. Needless to say, I leaned my lesson the hard way. Since 2008 I invest in only dividend stocks. None in my portfolio have gone under, and its up substantially since 2008/9. It much easier to sleep at night when your portfolio is growing and paying dividends rather then tanking and going out of business.

As a disabled veteran and a VA employee, I can tell you that there's a lot that goes on that you're not seeing. Please don't dismiss this article and the experiences of others based on your experience. I was getting all my care at the VA until last year. Now, all my care is in the community because as an employee I know leadership advocates the violation of directives in place to protect patients. The boots on the ground - medical staff and support staff, are for the most part doing the best they can, but mismanagement is real and mgmt dictates that staff do things that risk the safety of patients. When we refuse and report - we get terminated. I was one of those and was later reinstated, only to have all my computer access and privileges taken away which meant I couldn't do my job. This article is only the tip of the iceberg. Most of the time patients are unaware of the things that could adversely affect their care until it actually happens to them - until they're the one.

Very descriptive and an excellent use of the English language. As the reader is enthralled with each word, the images are brought to their minds explicitly and wonderfully. There is a certain feeling that comes with the quiet in an Alaskan winter. It is hard to explain but I think it's about being okay with oneself. Knowing that whatever comes your way in the winter, you will deal with it and be there when the summer arrives again. But they are experiences that only the hardy can see the pleasure in and appreciate in their truest form. It's survival and the determination of being one who does survive. I look forward to reading more from this author. She has a gift that should not be kept to herself but shared with all of us. It is rare for someone to have such a grasp of story telling.

Does anyone on the team from the coaches to the players know the meaning of the word "discipline"? Something is just not right with the UH football team and if they cannot solve their constant off the field problems there is no way they can perform at a high level as a disciplined team on the field and actually win games against half decent teams. More and more people, besides Allie are going to put "Like" on Allie's comments to shut down UH or greatly reduce UH athletic program, with greater the likelihood the City and State will tear down Aloha Stadium and replace it with a much smaller 25,000 seat capacity stadium with high rise condos, tract homes and a shopping mall.

There is a fascinating story to write about Emerald City ComicCon, but this isn't it. ReedPop, a large company in the business of running such conventions, purchased ECCC last year, and is gradually making it's mark on the con. The concern on the floor seems to be making all the conventions exactly alike, making it hard for the smaller publishers and artists to participate in one or two cons. And there are a LOT of conventions across the country in competition with each other for exclusivity and rights. It will get ugly. Mr Sullivan, next year, come on IN and see what is going on. So far, there's still room for the hobbyist, the fanboy, the family cosplay,the professional cosplayer (and they have a competition this very evening at the con, those professionals) as well as the "comic books only" people.
