I had a dear friend die 6 months ago of colon cancer that spread to his brain and caused awful headaches. The doctors put him large amounts of cortisone to help reduce his brain swelling. The cortisone and pain made it hard to sleep. He tried all sorts of Rx medicines that left him too groggy to visit with his wife and kids. The only medicine that allowed him to sleep peacefully was a certain strain of cannabis.
I think about my dear friend who was brought some measure of comfort in the last weeks of his life by enjoying something we all take for granted, a couple of hours of pain-free, restful sleep. He said, "the cannabis makes it all melt away."
Why disparage this medicine and insult and disrespect the people who need it? It usually takes witnessing a close family member who is dealing with an awful illness and finds some relief with cannabis to change the minds of people like you. I hope you come around on your own and never lose a loved one like I have. | 0 | not toxic |

Harper and Scheer have both called the widow of the American serviceman who was killed in the firelight. That is rather bizarre to say the least.
.
It is more than likely that Khadr had nothing to do with the injuries to either man, the evidence points elsewhere and the conviction will likely be overturned as soon as his appeal is heard.
But the striking thing is the difference between the melodramatic show of concern now fifteen years later and the indifference shown over the years to Canadian servicemen and their families as Harper slashed funding and closed offices
Here is one widow of a Canadian soldier killed in action who got no sympathy whatsoever from Harper and certainly no phone calls.

Democratic lawmakers have not introduced any major legislation to try and fix the system. They have taken the easy way out: showboating and complaining instead of working on a solution to stabilize the health-insurance market. Liberals often accuse the GOP of intentional sabotage, but premiums were increasing and insurers were fleeing long before the GOP victories of last November 8. If Democrats are worried about the effects of the replacement plan, they should be proposing their own ideas, not just placing blame. Symbolic protests and legislative obstruction might play well in Washington, D.C., but they do nothing for the families all across the country being crushed by the consequences of the ACA. | 0 | not toxic |
I am simply alerting people who read your posts that they need to be examined for errors. If AnonAJ is intending to act upon your comments then he can decide if there needs to be some crosschecking based on the ambiguous use of terms that an immigration attorney would go to lengths to use correctly.

If he is looking to contribute $ there are well regarded avenues or legislative actions besides those you've offered in comments section on NCR.

Such a difficult situation................ Here's a guy who six years ago pleaded guilty to one count of pedophilia in a case where, it seems, the original charge involved actions over a one to two year period of time. It reads that he completed counseling, therapy and all conditions of his sentence and, by all accounts, is "rehabilitated."
Now, he's carrying around a big "P" (for pervert) brand and will likely carry it for the rest of his life. I'll admit to being really conflicted. He committed a heinous crime... He fulfilled all the requirements set by the court. He's, by all accounts, doing well in all ways and has an outstanding future as a professional athlete. Just how large should that "P" brand be on his future? In terms of one's future, committing a murder is less a stigma than being a pedophile......Is this fair? I sure don't know....Anyone have any "words of wisdom"? | 0 | not toxic |

It is not for us mere mortals with our myopic vision to presume to understand the full extent of the Divine Purpose. As Gandalf said to Frodo Baggins, "even the very wise cannot see all ends." But Mother Nature can give us a clue about why gay people exist: built-in population control. We're very effective in that way, and in this age of severe overpopulation and quickly-depleting natural resources (Go see "Inferno" later this month) we gay people represent an under-appreciated natural resource that ought to be applauded for not breeding rather than reviled.
And for the record, I resent having my gay ontology referred to as "a departure from the Divine Purpose as a result of the Fall," unlike your presumably straight ontology, which in your way of thinking is consonant with God's will. That is deeply offensive and not very Christian of you. | 0 | not toxic |

For sure the Obama administration was too wishy-washy.
The Washington Post published an epic piece of reporting last week titled "Obama's secret struggle to punish Putin's election assault" - It reads like a small book - Both Republicans and Democrats have cherry-picked this report to bolster their agenda arguments - The link is via MSN:
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/obama’s-secret-struggle-to-punish-russia-for-putin’s-election-assault/ar-BBD4mdS?li=BBnbcA1
And what actions have the Trump administration taken to stop future election meddling? - According to this recent report from NBC News, little to nothing:
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/trump-white-house-has-taken-little-action-stop-next-election-n776116
As far as I've been able to tell, Trump only gave full-tweeted unqualified recognition of the Russian meddling when he figured, through some astounding perversion of logic, he could blame Obama for it. | 0 | not toxic |

I think this battle, or opposition among Republicans over health care is the beginning of the "draining of the Republican swamp". The Democrat swamp has been drained though elections.
The Democrat Party has existed based on promises made elections after elections, after elections, that never materialize for Democrat voters. Republican thought they could get away with doing the same thing. Run on repealing all of OBAMAcare, vote knowing Obama would never sign it, and then, OPPS, Trump won. So now many Congressional Republicans have been exposed for the campaign games to many politicians, on both sides, play. | 0 | not toxic |
I agree... He has been determined to be normal and law-abiding.
No one knows his motives. The police are asking the public for help because they have run out of people to ask.
Even the hotel room setup seems inconsistent with a mass killer. Why would he need so many guns? Unless he was going to sell them?
If he was going to kill himself then why write such an odd suicide note of elevations and angles? And was the note even written at the same time of the killing? Or did it just happen to be there? Could it have been forged?

Bill: I read the article in the link you provide. Nowhere in the article does Mr. Kaepernick say he hates America.

" As I and other posters have repeatedly stated, Mr. Kaepernick's motives are clear and have been from "day one" of his protest. You continue to post that he states "he hates America." That, sir, is simply not the truth. Read all accounts. Read the OpEd by Ed Reid. Educate yourself....and, please, don't continue to post untruths. Gary Crum | 0 | not toxic |

Actually we have a priorities problem; we continue to reinforce the definition of insanity by investing solely in an economic model that invariably swings boom-and-bust.

I had an widowed in-law who took out a reverse mortgage on her Toronto property 20 years ago as her son reneged on the mortgage payments. He convinced her he needed money to finance a building project he was involved in and it went bankrupt. Rather than face foreclosure, she opted for a reverse mortgage so she could keep her home. When she died, the mortgage had escalated to such a degree that it exceeded the value of her home. Even still, the bank made very good money by charging 12% compounded interest on the reverse mortgage over twenty years. Don't ever do it , I say ! | 0 | not toxic |
What is so "abysmally stupid" is your attempt to use a definition of a term created by gun control activists as though it were an accepted term and definition. You realize, of course, that when the police shoot 2 or more criminals in an attempt to provide safety and security for the populace, or a homeowner shoots two or more invaders of their home, that the definition you are using for "mass shootings" has been satisfied, yes?

Have great respect for Tom Reese but in this case he is lining up with all the never-Trumpers in predicting nothing but ruin in the years ahead. While Mr. Trump clearly lacks many of the attributes we would desire for a president, and exhibits defects that arouse embarrasment, he is far from the first leader to be widely castigated, especially by those who clearly didn't vote for him. The Catholic Church and its bishops should not be among those evaluating his performance according to the tired old categories of liberal, progressive, and conservative. I am among those who pray for his well being that through him God might manifest his power, might, and justice. | 0 | not toxic |
