"She was making sure that goods grown, built and produced in Lane County can get to market on time."
It figures that just below that statement on my page was an ad for a pot dispensary. So good to know Lane County's #1 crop will get to market on time.
Among other striking statements wss one emphasizing that "our children can get to school on time." If this transportation money doesn't go to widening neighborhood sidewalks and streets, I fear first period classes are going to be pretty empty. The school bus and kids on bikes too often have to wait for turkeys and geese to cross the street. | 0 | not toxic |

islandsun,
It won't be easy and will certainly take many years if not decades to play out, but if Warmbier’s family is willing to grasp at straws, then the only recourse I see is for them to begin a grass roots movement to have our government formally reestablish the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. If such were to happen, then a lawsuit against the government of North Korea could next be filed in a U.S. federal court with the ultimate goal being a seizure of any assets should North Korea someday wish to engage in commerce with or within the borders of the United States.
It's sobering to realize that no monetary penalty eventually won, however large, would ever be likely to restore their son to them as he once was. But I could understand the family's wish to pursue the matter to the bitter end because sometimes, the desire for vengeance is what gives us humans a purpose in this life. | 0 | not toxic |

Some celebrating birthdays more numerous than the folks flying them. Development of new procedures as well as equipment is a test of time.

Ooh, personal attack. Good call.
If you only count those shootings with AR-15s, then yes, you have only AR-15s to count. However, if you look at the actual data collected by Mother Jones and provided in the link I gave you, the data shows that handguns indeed are used more often than any other class of firearms in mass shootings. It's not even arguable.
Toxic masculinity, anger, mental illness are but some of the causes of mass shootings. Unless you are able to block all men from acquiring firearms of any sorts then these events will continue. It's how we manage prevention, shooter isolation and intervention that will reduce the frequency of them. | 0 | not toxic |
The column reminds me of a co-worker, his eyes damaged in the workplace in Toronto when corrosive liquid hit them.
And a man I met in Toronto, his hand crushed and bleeding and fingers dangling from tendons, from an industrial machinery accident half an hour earlier.
And when I was a student, a high school teacher who held up his bleeding, mis-shapen fingers that had just been pressed in a piece of woodworking equipment.
And police hovering around the construction man who fell off the roof, to his death, from an apartment just over from my sister's apartment.
And the body I saw of the dead highway worker, his body smashed by a delivery truck.
Off the top of my head I can think of dozens of incidents like that from my life, of men maimed and killed in industrial workplaces, where men are the victims 90 percent of the time.
And yet, in this newspaper, opinion columns about men like those are less than five percent the frequency of Weinstein-harassment-type columns.

To clarify. I married my first wife while I was studying in 1988, she killed herself when my son was 15, in Dec of 2001.
So what's your point James? Everything I wrote is TRUE. Real name used, real pics posted, real email and website given. My story is 100 percent real. My wife also left JWs. My son is still alive and lives 3 miles away. My wife's daughter also left on her own. She was a reg pioneer when I wrote that disassociation letter.
Fact is the JW religion is just not what JWs like to think it is. And certainly not God's channel and never has been LOL
Otherwise I would have never left.

Tim: I didn't say anything about the early run. Perhaps you would like to address my point. Of all people you are surely aware of the mortality imposed on the Kings by the set net commercial fishery during July and August, some of which is factored and perhaps much of which is not, i.e. the numbers that go unreported and the numbers of drop outs, none of which are accounted for. I am still interested to know how many REALLY big fish are killed and not accounted for by those contributions to mortality. . After all, Tim, the ADF&G attributes an 8 percent mortality caused by catch and release by the in river sports users when calculating total
Sports harvest, yet does not charge the commercial net fishers for any drop outs or under reporting. And please don't claim there is no mortality associated with those activities. Because everyone knows better. Doesn't seem fair to me. Still just wondering. | 0 | not toxic |

It doesn't take much to bring hate to the surface no matter where you live. I remember the separate unequal hospital wards for Blacks, the separate water fountains, the segregated churches, the unease of living in Virginia & Alabama in the 60's. Unfortunately supposed CHRISTIAN churches have played a role in their teachings and actions of intolerance. I have long supported the Southern Poverty Law Center from which I just received a certificate of appreciation. I do agree that the U.S. Justice system has failed in this area. Right now most Americans are not represented on the US Supreme Court. 5 Justices are Roman Catholic, 22% of population, 3 justices are JEWS, 3% of the population. CHRISTIANS, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, Buddhas, etc. Americans are not represented on the US Supreme Court. That is tragic. | 0 | not toxic |

Hillary mentions Senator Clinton by name and depicts interviews with political commentators and other persons, most of them quite critical of Senator Clinton. Hillary was released in theaters and on DVD, but Citizens United wanted to increase distribution by making it available through video-on-demand..."

Well it would be nice to live in the same America as you? Where those gifts belonged to black communities too, where people had the freedom to express themselves and it was a right guaranteed by a constitution. If they weren't black maybe they would feel the same way you do? But since they disrespected "her" should they have those rights revoked? If black soldiers die too will that give them the right to protest? I assume you must be black since you seem to understand the America they live in so well. | 0 | not toxic |

This is not a "creative solution" as English puts it. It is the obvious, and wrong, solution of taxing hotels further. People whine about Hawaii being an expensive destination and you can thank your lawmakers for that. Taxes like this cause hotels to charge more when there are millions of dollars of taxes left on the table from airbnb and others. This is not a creative solution, it is a cop out. Mayor Caldwell claims to understand that how important the visitor industry is to the state and then he flops on an issue like this. Pathetic all around. | 1 | toxic |
Ok so we have area to agree on....what I offered is a very good option. If you do not want insurance that doesn't cover 1) pre existing conditions or 2) mammograms then choose another. It doesn't take a law for a bizness to provide these services, it takes people wanting them, aka demand.
We should all want more options. I do not need a mammogram and will risk paying less against a pre existing condition. I buy other insurance for that. You can choose what you want.

Oregon Center for Public Policy July 2016:
Several weeks ago the Oregon legislature’s economists in the Legislative Revenue Office (LRO) came out with an estimate of how the proposal to raise taxes on large, mainly out-of-state corporations would impact the Oregon economy….
While the report fantasizes that a little bit of the costs will be passed along to consumers (another number well within the margin of error in a five year projection), its authors acknowledge the report did not consider the impact of internet sales and other factors that would limit the ability of affected corporations to stick consumers with the bill….
The decision whether to raise taxes on large, mainly out-of-state corporations is too important to be based on fantastic estimates. Oregonians need facts they can rely on — such as the fact that Oregon corporate taxes have declined dramatically over the decades.

Characterizing students who study here and then gain permanent residence as "back door" immigrants is probably a little bit much, since it is explicit Canadian government policy to attract people permanently to Canada exactly by that route. But I agree it helps to explain some of the increased popularity, since Canada has only recently developed those immigration programs. I also think there are a lot of other positive spinoffs, some probably hard to quantify, from funding international graduate students to be here. The skill level of undergraduate students is a bit of an issue, but the same can be said of Canadian students. And the system is designed so that you get that less in graduate school, and also employers select against people who have not done enough work to develop their skills out, no? | 0 | not toxic |

A problem that has come up a few times occurs when a vehicle turning right doesn't see the cyclist bombing along with an equally unobservant cyclist. The cyclist will lose, every time. The green lane only serves to give some of them an unhealthy sense of stupidness. The lanes should be yellow so everyone takes extra caution at a potentially dangerous location.
On a related note; we have a few councils around who are pushing the bicycle lanes with little to show they are needed. I'm out and about every day but rarely see any cyclists in the full vehicle sized lanes they are granted. They also don't need to be on a major artery where traffic is already over crowded. Pushing them a block or two over will keep them safer. Total access isn't a requirement simply because they whine about it.
If safety was the true reason then cyclists would not pass vehicles but rather travel in line like everyone else and take their turn in sequence. I see it happening but often enough. | 0 | not toxic |
