Thank you for your reply.
I should say that I mentioned the Aramaic language because you appeared to highlight its importance as the language of Jesus when in fact the Nicene Creed was written in Greek in the 4th century. Thus, Aramaic does not have any relevance to our discourse.
In the end, what matters is what I wrote in response to someone else on this site, "The liturgy does not belong to me, to you, to any priest-celebrant or to any individual Catholic."
We cannot change the words of our liturgy without causing harm to the unity inherent in the words themselves.
If we do so, we place our own authority above that of the Holy Spirit present in the Church and speaking to us through our sacred liturgy.
The Sacred Magisterium teaches us what the Spirit teaches the Church, and to ignore the guidance of the Spirit in any way, shape or form is an exercise in pride.
We are all called to be humble before God and that begins with praying in unity with the Body of Christ.
I wish you well. | 0 | not toxic |
Canada is Rife with rewriting history lately. The Residential School Inquest is a good example where one view of the incident is examined and expanded on, where the other views of the incident is buried or shunned.
So Tabitha, you're right to an extent. The current political landscape will do its best to present the new narrative on residential schools, but for those that benefited from them, they and their children know the truth. | 0 | not toxic |

It would seem that all 3 packers would have been charged with possession of illegally taken game. I wonder why not. Maybe they had a better lawyer, better plea deal or cooperated better. But other charges would have been available as well. Surely they transported illegally taken game. They failed to immediately report illegally taken game. Plus they illegally guided by not having a current license in hand. That charge alone has a maximum penalty of a $10,000 fine and a year in jail. Get caught twice and the fine is $30,000 and a year in jail and you are convicted as a felon. The other violations that may have occurred include the hunters (clients) illegally hunting, taking, possessing and transporting illegally taken game. If they transported it out of State they face Federal charges. The really bad part is, from what I read here, these were intentional acts and not mistakes or accidents. | 0 | not toxic |
Colonial conquests, whether of Church or State, wars of Crusades, militant proselytism, still enforce displacement of people for purposes of corporate/ self-interest advantage. We fight over who owns truth. who owns nature. Oh the folly! Don't we get "love"? and the radical equality of the human persona? No matter where on Earth? If only we could grasp Godhead vision and find enlargement of heart to infect our relations with every one. Isn't that the bottom-line message of Jesus?!

Rep Johnston, please fix the broken oil and gas system that prices and BLOCKS Alaskans and smaller competitors out of business and makes Alaska the worst place in the nation to profit from by finding and selling oil, even ConocoPhillips lost money and they seem to own almost everything.
The low price of oil is not the real problem in Alaska oil business, it is the poor management of state oil & gas lands based on my 30 years in the oil business I have seen them try to pick winners and losers and they have no crystal ball but still they play God and violate the constitution and the oil and gas laws everyday. The people have to stop them from Blocking smaller oil competitors for the majors. The facts are clear they must be looked at as they give the people of Alaska's oil wealth away!
Will someone wake the people of Alaska and change the laws so Alaskans can drill and profit

On Thursday Bell Pottinger Chief Executive James Henderson apologised for work the company did on behalf of the Gupta family and Oakbay Investments.

Oregon’s votes would be equally counted in a national popular vote.
One person, one vote. The candidate with the most votes would win, as in virtually every other election in the country.
All voters would be valued equally in presidential elections, no matter where they live.
Candidates, as in other elections, would allocate their time, money, polling, organizing, and ad buys roughly in proportion to the population
Every vote, everywhere, for every candidate, would be politically relevant and equal in every presidential election.
No more distorting, crude, and divisive and red and blue state maps of predictable outcomes, that don’t represent any minority party voters within each state.
No more handful of 'battleground' states (where the 2 major political parties happen to have similar levels of support) where voters and policies are more important than those of the voters in 38+ predictable states, like Oregon, that have just been 'spectators' and ignored after the conventions. | 0 | not toxic |

The very premise of this subject is pure nonsense and any science based on it is just more of the same. The idea that we can take an individual medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria and somehow place the onus of treatment for that disorder on all the rest of society by having everybody play along with the symptoms an individual suffers under threat of government imposed penalty is silly and wouldn't stand for any other listed medical disorder out there. Its really no different than forcing all of society to pretend clinically depressed people are actually happy and any medical professional who suggested it would be laughed straight out of their profession. Id be interested to see National Geographic explain away that bit of logic but on this issue it would seem ignorance is bliss. Jordan Peterson-a man licenced by our government to treat sufferers of this condition- has offered open debate on these issues and until any of his detractors engages in that, Ill reject it outright. | 1 | toxic |
With the National Popular Vote bill guaranteeing the majority of Electoral College votes and the presidency to the candidate with the most national popular votes, big cities would not control the outcome.
The population of the top five cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia) is only 6% of the pop. of the US.
Voters in the biggest cities are almost exactly balanced out by rural areas in terms of population and partisan composition.
16% of the U.S. pop. lives outside the nation's Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Rural America has voted 60% Republican. None of the 10 most rural states matter now.
16% of the U.S. pop. lives in the top 100 cities. They voted 63% Democratic in 2004.
The pop. of the top 50 cities (going as far down as Arlington, TX) is only 15% of the pop. of the US.
Suburbs divide almost exactly equally between Republicans and Democrats. | 0 | not toxic |

Please believe that most white South Africans also suffered during the rule of the apartheid regime. Particularly so if you did not agree with the extremist policies of the nationalist party. We were forced by call-up into the military or face prison. Those who were working for government parastatel organisations were paid their full salary while in the military. Those of us who were not as fortunate, were paid a paltry sum of money, in the 60's R10,00 a week.
We were fed lies and falsehoods about the "Swart Gevaar" and communists, who would slaughter all whites. The murders which happened in the Belgium Congo and other African states were held before us and we were certain that this would certainly be our fate as well.
Many whites saw the bravery of the black nationalists who stood up for what was fair and honourable, such as Steve Biko, Oliver Thambo and Madiba, to name a few. We admired them and and relied on them for our freedom.

Nothing grabs you? Too tired? Didn't know there was an election? These people aren't understanding that the voters on April 4th decided to raise our taxes -- effecting not only homeowners and property owners, but renters too. Liberals voted this time; they put more liberals in the assembly and burdened the taxpayer with more bond debt to pay off. Conservatives, by not showing up to the polls last week, you raised our taxes. For the love of all that's holy people, show up or shut up.

I spent four hours in a meeting yesterday with our CEO trying to figure out ways our Community Mental Health Centers could still stay afloat as cuts in medicaid payments are set to begin this July for some services. We can probably survive this first assault, but we will not be able to withstand the cuts in medicaid envisioned by either of the GOP bills. The mentally ill and addicted are defined targets when this bill allows states to opt out of those services. Should either bill become law, the mentally ill will suffer bigly. Somehow I don't find this surprising coming from a political party that can't recognize mental illness in their own leadership....or moral illness for that matter. | 0 | not toxic |

This is to be expected. First the ramming and then denial of responsibility. Was there any video of the incident? Or pictures of the approach?
I would report the incident first to the Coast Guard as and accident (Collision) report with extenuating circumstances leading to the ramming by the police boat. In future record all communications on a recorder and have video cams always running when needed.
It is obvious that the Police vessel made a very bad decision resulting in damages. They should be held to account either monetarily and a public admission of responsibility in this breach of maritime regulation on the river.
What were they thinking? Would be interesting to know. I see the rebuttal make little sense given the situation. I would push it. Make them apologist and pay for the damages. As long as it doesn't interfere with the scheduled.

LW2, I have COPD and am on oxygen 24/7, and cough a lot. If I had to get up & leave, I'd never sit down during most outings.

My original stance hasn’t changed much. I still think this vote reflects the politics of “NIMBYism” (sic) and pandering to fear and ignorance to appear righteous, moral, and strong. I’m now applying this opinion to all members of the council except Councilman Higgins (kudos) – to include both candidates for mayor (not much sense in voting now since there seems little to distinguish the two status quo candidates). The explanation of delaying a final decision for 6 months is simply a ruse to get through the election season. I can only conclude that the council is cowardly as well as ignorant of science, research, and fact. Safe injection sites are a cost-effective and internationally successful method of disease prevention. We shouldn’t let the council get away with cowering to anti-drug hysteria; understand the facts, and consider an evidence-based opinion. | 0 | not toxic |
"The other path is rooted in a life in accordance with the creator."
Pretty much anything that happens, or doesn't, is in accordance with the creator. Besides, in 25 to 50 years, the dominant species on the planet will not care if there is clean air and water, or that the planet has warmed (or cooled) by a few degrees. All it will want or need is a secure, continuous source of power and cooling. Hint: That dominant species isn't us.
