Finally.
I've been waiting years for an article by a Muslim person citing that the Muslim community itself needs to do something about Muslim extremism and radicalization.
This is a problem that non-Muslims can do nothing about. We do not understand Islam, we do not go to Mosques, we don't understand nor are able to detect the difference between the early stages of radicalization and someone who is simply especially devout.
Next step: Muslims the world over should be speaking out, denouncing these extremist acts. When a Danish cartoon results in riots the world over and deaths, but people murdered in the west creates barely a whisper, all it does is lend credence to extremism.
The best defense against radical Muslim extremism is for Muslims themselves to denounce it as non-Muslim, barbarism, and unworthy of any respect. Until that happens, the silence on these matters gives non-Muslims the perception that the silent majority of Muslims secretly agree with these actions. | 0 | not toxic |

Yet another nuanced article about a part of Hawaii that only makes the news when there is violence in a gambling house or the homeless migrate to its sidewalks. A close read of the piece reveals the allure and the potential of Chinatown.
.
Low rents, funky architecture and decent public transportation make Chinatown an attractive venue for entrepreneurs in many line of endeavor. Given the appropriate incentives the Chinatown area could become the business "incubator" that the local elites claim that they wish to foster.
.
It speaks reams that the Governor is totally oblivious to the potential of an area within walking distance of his office. He seeks to replicate Silicon Valley when the opportunity to revive of a once thriving commercial area in tune with Hawaii's storied history withers from neglect. | 0 | not toxic |
Good questions all, Mr. K, which I expect will be asked repeatedly if and as this discussion continues. As you can see, I have been writing myself silly about this topic, not only in this forum, but in other online venues as well--ever since I first saw a story on a mainland website almost a week ago. So, at the moment, I am unable to explain--once again, from scratch, the many and varied ways UBI could be funded.
As a result, I encourage you, and anyone else who is so motivated--who wants to scale up your understanding of how much time and thought others have already put into developing and broadcasting Idea--can start by using my name to search the Civil Beat Politics FB page. I have post numerous articles and comments about this in recent years, particularly in the past few months. I suggest you first search for an article entitled "The Basic Income Discussion is a Mess", and read the copy prefaced my own additions to the analysis of presented by the author.--con't below | 0 | not toxic |

Ontario's high electricity rates are drastically impacting our competitiveness and affordability. And there is no end in sight. Rates are going to continue to rise as the Liberal's have tied the Province's hands to enact any short term fixes.
Of course, what they may do leading up to the election is try to trick us into thinking they have lowered Hydro rates by artificially lowering Hydro Bills using taxpayer dollars. I am fully expecting this trick, and given Ontario's track-record, I am fully expecting voters to buy it. | 0 | not toxic |

When Bozievich first ran for his county commissioner position, he pointed proudly to helping to keep in operation the tiny Elmira post office. He used it as an example of being supportive of the mainly rural area he now represents. I have been wondering where that rural identity, and corresponding support for outlying refuse transfer stations, has evaporated. Perhaps the glitz and glamour of having an office in the urban core has made him myopic. He seems to have turned his fiscal focus toward overpaying pretty good manager Mokrohisky and figuring out a way, along with the lovable but bumbling Eugene city councilors, to finance a new government complex in downtown Eugene.

It’s easy to fall victim to a homogenized and polarized set of beliefs that lead to rationalizing misinformation, at the same time avoiding ideas and information that forces us to challenge our beliefs. Cinthia Ritchie, you are a product of this phenomenon, you resonate the ideas of someone living in an echo chamber. Perhaps, it’s time you reevaluate your flawed concept of diversity by challenging your beliefs and educating yourself in logic.

I have already posted several times on the Russian purchase of yellowcake mineral right from a rancher in, I believe, Wyoming. Russia and the US have maintained mutual trade in uranium ores for decades. This was a propaganda win for Putin in Russia, but meaningless in context, and Uranium is still a strategic mineral whose trade is overseen by the State Department. Clinton initially approved sale of mineral rights to a Canadian consortium; after that, it was out of her hands. But as you know we buy nuclear triggers from Russia under treaty.

This is why only White Trash watch hockey... Cause they are simple minded and are only entertained when puck is in net.
I played triple A hockey as a kid. I can tell you with authority, there is no strategy in hockey. There are only two ways to play. Defence, as in clogging centre ice.... and fast...which = dump and chase.
Soccer is sophisticated. That's what Soccer is the #1 sport. Hockey is a fringe sport. Even Rugby has more countries playing than hockey. Heck, Ping Pong has better TV ratings than hockey.

Then I set the wrong tone. I do believe that checks and balances are working concerning the first Trump decree. I am not so well versed in immigration law that I know the eventual outcome. I believe the Bannon administration likes to create chaos and they thrive on it. I don't mind that part of it. I'm more concerned that some in the public realm believe them without question about a legal interpretation that hasn't been fully reveiwed. When the spokeman says the Presidents orders must be followed, I get a bit nervous.
