Candidate Trump conveniently cannot remember the name of the Doctor who diagnosed him with a bone spur in his heel so bad it would exclude him from the draft. I wonder how many other "special" deferrals that same "unremembered"doctor granted for "favors" from the wealthy and more fortunate like Trump`s father. Throughout history many conscriptions took place in most major societies..but it was always possible to pay a "tribute" to get passed over.
There were probably a few unpopular Roman Senators who were suddenly needed by Roman legions at the front, fighting the barbarians, who, being important leaders needed at home as well, preferred to "buy" their illness and excuse for not serving.. like so many so-called political leaders who went on to involve this nation in war without having served in uniform. | 0 | not toxic |

Humane laws for the transportation/treatment of food animals is in the process of being updated...I hope the standards will be massively improved as thousands of animals die in transport every year.

Pigs and chickens were given it to eat and nothing was done. | 0 | not toxic |

They were skittish but appeared to be in good health and we saw no obvious injuries. Tomorrow we will deliver a large bag of kibbles and canned wet food for the cats.

The last time the budget was "balanced" (by the PCs in 2003), it was actually balanced. That is, provincial debt did not go up year-over-year. This budget is not balanced, once all the capital spending that has been shuffled off-budget is included. Debt will increase by $12-13 billion dollars year-over-year. The credit rating agencies are fully aware of these tricks. From Standard and Poor's last credit rating downgrade in 2015: "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that, under our base-case scenario, Ontario will continue to make slow progress in reducing its after-capital deficit in the next two fiscal years..." Note those words: "after-capital deficit." That's what counts. It's still at $12.2 billion, about the average it's been over the years the Liberals have been in power, and higher when one-time "adjustments" and asset sales are taken out. | 0 | not toxic |
To compare London's airport to ours is like comparing apples to oranges. I do appreciate the observation but a big difference that we fail to see in this picture is that Hawaii is controlled by unions. And unions mean bigger cost to Hawaii taxpayers. London does not have the same problem we do and is able to repair and replace without having to deal with big labor. Our airport needs not only to be repaired and upgraded but we do need better management. The DOT is NOT the answer as they have mismanaged our roads pretty badly. When the federal transportation board sent them a packet to solve our road woes, they claimed they LOST it. The federal agency reported that the sent us info on how to protect our roads by sealing them. That which the DOT haven't done because they want to continually repair unsealed roads to maintain the labor quota for the unions who have managed to control how things are done in this state. We need to have that department audited for efficiencies as far as roads. | 0 | not toxic |

Great article. I am just concerned that it seems to casually equate the words refugees or asylum-seekers with immigrants. It is one thing to help people fleeing war or religious persecution.

Yeah taxing the hell out of us makes us poor. The problem is reduced taxes on corporations, reducing royalty rates (plus removing the bank capital tax) and then taxing the public with heavy fees... to then giving those taxes further to foreign governments and foreign corporations as subsidy.

Trump IS a spot on the Constitution, I'll give you that! More like a stain. But his illegal demands of cities to hold people illegally past their release point is blatantly unconstitutional. This is a simple thing, it's been ruled on by the courts.

Oswald immigrated to Russia, repudiated his US citizenship and wrote a letter to Gus Hall in 1963, head of America's Communist Party, requesting membership. Oswald was a Communist. Kennedy was as anti-Communist as you can get.

Nixon was bitter? Logically, he would have had Pat Brown done in. Unlike Nixon, Johnson had motive and opportunity. Which is why he didn't pursue the Communist connection as it would have meant war with Russia and anyway, he was now the President. I think he may have 'known' about the plot to kill Kennedy, but because it worked in 'his favor', he kept quiet.

PS: What section of the bible defines sin. Answer: First John 3:4 “Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.”
When you see the word “is” think about working with mathematics. The word “is” is really an equal sign so you could say that “sin = lawlessness.” What is the Biblical definition of sin? Answer: That sin is the breaking of God's Law's and so everyone who sins is breaking the Law of God. That leaves us all guilty for we are all sinners. What bible do I read? Answer: The Holy Bible, numerous translations.
The truth is that sin, as defined in the original translations of the Bible, means "to miss the mark." The mark, in this case, is the standard of perfection established by God and evidenced by Jesus. Viewed in that light, it is clear that we are all sinners. | 0 | not toxic |
I read the National Post article with amazement.

1. If you don't think I am correct in my assumption then why not say why?
Excommunication affects the soul more than it does the body. It has no effect upon our life in this world unless it causes us anxiety concerning our salvation. If one doesn't believe it does then it is of no consequence at all.
2. PXII to me says Pius XII, in the same way as JPII and BXVI say Pope St John Paul II and Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, surely you must have seen people refer to popes by their initial and number?
Under Pius XII several theologians were under investigation by the Holy Office for their modernist views but as far as I am aware none of them were excommunicated. In fact most of them appeared at Vatican II as periti.
Now that you mention "Confraternity" I imagine you mean the FSSPX. However, I still don't get what is your message behind 'why it reminds you' of those excommunications particularly and not others, e.g. Huss's, Luther's, Elizabeth I, etc. | 0 | not toxic |
A reiteration from another conversation:
God is not a syllogism; why, then, do so many approach so many realities regarding the imago Dei, a human person, that way?
Especially regarding gender, sex & life issues, where essentialistic, substantialistic, a prioristic, rationalistic, deductivistic, physicalistic, biologistic, infallibilistic & a litany of other pejorative -istics too often end up comprising - rather than an affirmation - an affront on the human person!
People of goodwill can reasonably dis/agree as to whether or not concepts like intrinsic evil even cohere and principles like moral probabilism & prudential judgment should apply.
Even the pastoral accommodations to mothers who've aborted & others in "irregular" relationships (divorced-remarried, contracepting & LGBTQ couples) can be experienced as condescending, when their moral calculus differs & consciences are clear, due to neither invincible ignorance nor poor formation. | 0 | not toxic |

William,
Your comment re the impact of Fundamentalist Christianity on Adventist history is lacking. The Fundamentalist movement arose around the turn of the 20th Century. If you carefully study the history of "mainstream" Adventist thought, you will see that the 1919 Bible Conference marked the ascent of Fundamentalist thought within Adventism and the decline of the influence of AG Daniells and W C White.
Whether the evocative phrases "Adventist spring", "backlash against women in leadership" and "tide against [women]" were used by Valentine or arose in Gallagher's summary, I have no way of determining since I was not there.
It is undeniably true that women did at various times a century or more ago, hold influential church offices. Are you aware that in the early 1900s one of the most effective evangelists and pastors in the NJ Conference was a woman, and that the conference sought approval to ordain her?
Admittedly these women were exceptional, as was Ellen White. | 0 | not toxic |

The Snow river area floods every 2 years and Kenai lake will raise 20 feet when this occurs. The Kenai river is suffering from bank erosion. I have lived along Kenai lake for 25 years.

Labour relations aren't the problem. The rise in precarious labour may only be curbed by government addressing the real problems: runaway immigration and temporary foreign workers, an education establishment that is long outdated, grossly excessive taxation everywhere at all levels, and disincentives to business, particularly those allowing startups to grow all the way to fully established firms (most cash out). | 0 | not toxic |
Under the Trump, the number and rate of abortions, the infant mortality rate, the rate of maternal deaths will all go up. Clinton's position on abortion notwithstanding, under her social and legislative policies, all of those numbers -- absolutely including abortions -- would have gone down.

"Until the City Council and voters decide to get tough on this issue it will only get worse."
But this presents a PR nightmare, because these "get tough" measures will be very contradictory to how Boulder residents are perceived. Regardless of how true it is, Boulder has a reputation of believing all humans have value, a complete range of services is their God given right, and everyone needs to pitch in.
Then it lands in their backyard. Also, without supporting data, there's no reason to assume all of this is recent arrivals. There are a lot of displaced people in metro Denver right now, partly because of assistance programs Boulderites tend to support.

And still nothing to start the adjustment to a "post oil Alaska" by first establishing local taxing authorities that will encourage local renewable and nonrenewable resource development on a regional scale to create the wealth necessary to break the poverty cycle and the absolute dependency on the State and Federal Government (but then again if you are a state or federal official (elected or otherwise) losing that power may not be in your best interest).

I didn't dig into the survey to see more details on what was asked. What I know is that most Americans support some level of government control of gun ownership. Restricting mentally ill and dangerous felons from owning guns, restricting some types of gun (fully auto), background checks, etc.
However, when people talk about sensible gun control, the consensus ends. Many take that term to mean extreme restrictions like only allowing police to have guns or only allowing single shot hunting rifles. The general term "gun control" means considerably different things to different people.
I support limits on who can buy, based on mental health or criminal background. I do not support magazine limits or restrictions on semi-autos, other than background checks. I support laws enforcing liability to anyone who intentionally or through neglect, allows kids to gain access to loaded firearms. In other words, sensible gun control! | 0 | not toxic |
