it always surprises me when I see two comments that refer to something unexpected within a few minutes of each other .... like say .... student councils! . it makes me wonder if there really is a meeting room where people go over talking points on the days issues then fan out to the comment boards.

It is clear by your assertion that you have NOT performed a comparative doctrinal study yourself since you believe they are not similar. Of course, you will disregard me as religiously ignorant secular liberal since it helps you to maintain your biases. The funny thing is that we secular folks actually are more knowledgeable about religion than the devoted types. http://www.pewforum.org/2010/09/28/u-s-religious-knowledge-survey/ "Atheists and agnostics average 20.9 correct answers. Jews and Mormons do about as well, averaging 20.5 and 20.3 correct answers, respectively. Protestants as a whole average 16 correct answers; Catholics as a whole, 14.7. Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons perform better than other groups on the survey even after controlling for differing levels of education."

I don't have a narrative. The title of the story "Close Gender Pay Gap" is misleading and I am trying to ply away the opaque and offer a clearer picture of reality. I don't believe women are steered into lower paying jobs, they have a choice. Who is doing the steering? Is there an evil white, male committee telling women they must be bakers instead of bankers? Why not show job by job comparisons? Because it wouldn't be a story.

A select few profit from war, and destruction of the earth to Capitalize on trying to monopolize it's resources for profit , but the majority of the populstion will suffer the ravages of war , and be FORCED to fund it with tax dollars.

Increasing taxes to pay for the $20 billion train to nowhere, add 1 $billion to renovate the Blaisdell center and hundreds of millions to clean up and pay for useless micro boxes for the homeless instead of creating safe zones to set up tents will drive more Hawaii residents to bankruptcies. Many carry credit card balances and bank loans that put many individuals and businesses always on the edge of bankruptcy. No coincidence the mayor has a make believe bank side job that pays him $200K / year and millions in stock options and is constantly creating overpriced make work projects like the rail, Blaisdell renovation, homeless micro boxes and massive megatowers and urban sprawl developments like Hoopili and Koa Ridge.

We really need a good old WAR. A serious one that will inflict significant damage on both countries. Not a little diddy rubber band action of Afghanistan, Libya or Iraq. The US really needs a true wake up call. China can absorb massive losses of human resources. Question is can the Americans? History has shown when faced with a superior force, the Chinese will basically run you over. Case in point: Korea. General Song Shilun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_Shilun at the decisive Chosin Reservoir battle. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chosin_Reservoir Fast forward to 2017. The Chinese military has vastly upgraded their equipment, reorganised their troops. With ballistic missiles and anti satellite weapons, the Chinese can seriously inflicted damage on our modern communication structure in space that will have severe impacts on our daily lives. If the Chinese takes out the eyes in the skies that US forces heavily rely on, a tactical negative is the result.

Good to know that one of the three branches of our government is still functioning as per the Constitution. Whether the legislative branch will do so as well remains to be seen. Since we know the executive branch won't, we better hope the legislative branch opts to do its job, but that requires our representatives and senators discover their long missing spines, so I won't hold high hopes.

Trump has done exactly nothing to boost or strengthen the economy or the stock market or even affect the unemployment rate. In fact he takes credit where credit is not due over and over again. What has HE done legislatively? Zero. He has no plans or vision. The economy is doing well despite him not because of him. I do give him credit for increasing the hate and hate crimes. Good thing Congress does not take him seriously either and are now starting to function despite him.

A procedure cannot un-gerrymander, whatever one might call that process. One may only gerrymander one way or another. How 'bout that! But there is a synonym to gerrymander that is almost too rich, hopefully funny, since we need humor in these times. That word is "doctor" (right next to "fake").

Myself, I think the Muslim nut bar has to understand there are consequences in this world for their action. There will be no virgins when they are dead, and no cash payments for the family only a bucket of grief. The authorities have enough information on them now to extract the consequences on them, family, friends everybody associated with them will be rounded up just to make sure it does not happen again. These consequences will be well documented and executed so everybody understands there are consequences to there action. These attacks are acceptable in our societies. Once we get the bad apples, we will be able to get our lives back without concern for this behaviour.

I cashed in my points in October and closed my account. I din't like how they were play around. Funny note; I asked for a letter that said my account was closed, and they didn't even know if they could do that. I had to explain, that since my credit card was tied to Air-Miles and cash transactions were involved, that any financial institution would give a client a letter saying their bank account was closed. Finally they decided to at least send me an email stating it was closed. No one should have to explain to a business that they need a letter stating their account is closed to prevent possible fraud going forward since a credit card was tied to the account..

Gruening tries to justify spending the funds just because it it OPM - Other Peoples Money. That nutset has gone on for far to long. Further, I seriously doubt even he would use the "road". Too long a trip to anywhere, multi day and expensive. He would fly. Just like the rest of us. Goods come by sea, it is cheaper. A truck cannot compete in time nor price.

Another timber business gone. I would really like to know what the "unforeseen" circumstances for the loss of pulp supply were. I smell an upcoming litigation. The Clinton Forest Plan is still a cancer on our economy. The endless large wild land fires, with no reasonable fuel reduction plan in our future (no charcoal allowed in pulp, thus no residual chips from burned logs). Fewer and fewer mills, and less and less supply of wood chips for pulping. Undersize thinning logs going to whole log chipping for pulping, mostly from private lands. Early capital interruption logging philosophy captures fiber before any disease and rot appear as stands mature. Mostly, Oregon politicians pushed the limits of recycle to where too much non paper contamination caused rejection of garbage route collection recycle paper. Only in Oregon, U.S., can you demand more crap be in recycle to where NONE of it is salable. Big problems upcoming for landfills and siting. No China exports.

I still have a telephone post which carries other utilities in my front yard. It's over 60 years old and the power lines have been switch to a newer Pole which carries the power. The old pole will be removed when all the other utilities are gone from the pole. So it's been very expensive to maintain these poles over the 70 years of their lifetime. The pole in my yard has been epoxied for termite intrusion. I doubt that any other locality in the country has as much problem with Asian ground termites as does Hawaii. The only thing more costly in Hawaii is installing and maintaining underground power lines. And I've noticed that all the new long-term power poles installed are made out of steel. Of course it's more expensive to be a Power Company in Hawaii. Their costs are mainly listed as replacing and maintaining a wooden pole structure. These were installed when metal poles were much much costlier. I'll bet today that these are cheaper steel poles from Asia.
