Reads like a travel brochure with all the flowery words. I know that it appeals to some, and I'm good with that. But I would have liked to know how the hunt went. Were ducks and geese taken? How many and what kind? Mallards, Pintail, Widgeon, etc. Was it a successful hunt? Was it a hunt over decoys or pass shooting? I have been to the location described by the author on many occasions and can say it is basically mud flats and not as romantic as described. But I love the flats and the time putting out decoys and working a good dog. And I really like bringing home a limit of Alaska waterfowl.

I believe that it is becoming apparent that the GOP ideology of Randian small government is a fraud on both a state and national level. They really have no understanding of government or governing and cling to such debunked and asinine policies like trickle down economics. From the president's "budget" to our GOP state legislators calling for greater cuts to state government, proof that they live in a fantasy world completely untouched by reality.

To quote the author, this article is crapola! Jones arrogantly writes "As a refresher, the equalization system was set up to ensure Canadians receive roughly equal levels of public services regardless of the province in which they live." Well, lets review some facts: - Quebec has massively less expensive University Education for Quebecers and People from France. If other Canadians want to attend those Universities, the govt increases the price by a factor 1,000% or more. -Quebec has public daycare that is a fraction of the price of Ontario day cares and is publicly subsidized. (I cannot speak to day care prices in other provinces). These are two examples where Equalization Payments and the Equalization System subsidize Quebec to ensure its citizens receive a higher level of public service then other Canadians - by using tax payer dollars from other Canadians not just Quebecers. Not Quebec bashing, they have leveraged the system to their benefit. Equalization formula is broken.

But I'm not about to justify or excuse the other players, either. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan via the ISI conspired to create "the Taliban". PM Bhutto and her Interior Minister were personally involved, the later explicit in his support of Islamic Fundamentalists at a time when, due to Soviet collapse, the US was ignoring Afghanistan. I'm going to repeat what I said in my first comment: Pakistan is as culpable or more so than either Russia or the US.

Bail isn't a constitutional right. A right to a fair and speedy trial made up of your peers is I and the right to defense for yourself is. And you miss the point. If there is evidence of wrong doing and it's a slam dunk case open and closed then what is unfair for the accused? they're guilty and there should be efforts to get these people to trial FASTER that's the point, and to have people manipulating the system to stay out on bail and avoid trial is just as unfair. Do you really believe the majority of people are wrongly accused because that's how you sound? If they are innocent then they will have the B.S. behind them quickly. And just so you understand if it is against their constitutional rights then you are imagining something which I am not implying. How many accused have another run in with the law to any degree while awaiting trial, I'm guessing more than not.

Huh? You are totally out of touch with reality here. The whole reason pride came into existence is to fight these things you speak of. Most of these problems went away years ago. You are just talking about things that don't happen hardly anymore. Nobody is protesting the treatment of police in Canada. This concept of blame the police is a misguided concept from the USA where it is totally misrepresented. Canada's real version of BLM is missing and murdered indigenous women, this issue will never be solved because they don't want it to be. BLM doesn't want the issue to be solve either, cause then what would they do. BLM is a selfish misguided movement and Pride is becoming this way also.

Mark Twain said: “History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes”. It’s premature & excessive to brand the Trump phenomena fascism (or Trump & the contending factions in & on the margins of the GOP as quasi-fascist). It is reasonable, however, to assert that: 1. Significant segments of US society are frustrated, anxious & angry with personal prospects & for their country & thus open to charismatic, deeply reactionary populism buttressed by violent measures & unrestrained by respect for legal norms; 2. Internal GOP dynamics rewards demagogues that can mobilize that reactionary passion; & 3. Thus, the shambolic Trump & GOP faction circus, the increasing licence they & their supporters give to police street violence & to exclusion & persecution of minorities etc. sets a pattern that could in the near future be exploited by a well led, clear-eyed, purposeful, truly fascist movement & leader.

Perfect! Let them fight it out, and maybe they will spend less time trying to terrorize the West. I think this is great, and I think we have Obama to thank for it. What has 40 plus years of supporting the even more fanatical Sunnis brought us? It has brought us Al Qaeda, the Taliban and ISIS. These groups are all Sunnis. Loosening the grip on Iran under Obama, allows Shias to challenge American backed Sunni dominance in the region and makes them a more equal match, which is precisely what we want. Iran may make a lot of noise, but they are much less harmful than our neanderthal "friends" over there, the Saudis, Emiratis, etc. And, by the way Hezbollah is Israels problem not ours, and they deserve it.

This initiative concerns me on many levels.........first, why is the only location available one that is owned by the group who wrote the initiative? Second, I'm worried about how the ordinance would allow pot wholesalers and processors to potentially locate in Creswell. Even if it was only in commercial and industrial areas, wouldn't this be a potential conflict as well, since One Grov already had 2 farms East of Cottage Grove with 40,000 plants? Do they already own a place where they can "process" their plants if this is passed? And wouldn't having processors in city limits cause our town to smell like marijuana? Third, the article made a reference to the town Apple was "born" in. I don't think I want our little town to become the "Apple" equivalent in the marijuana community. Forth, the article references large sums of money that could be generated from tax breaks. In theory this sounds great, in reality, however, how much goes to the community? Any statistics on other towns?

I do not really buy this cult of "room-cleaning" or keeping only those items that "sparks joy". Usually, a disorganized living space is a symptom of the owner's unmet basic needs like healthy diet, medical need/disability, social needs for love and companionship, a sense of security. Humans have a hierarchy of needs. Often we point fingers at those whose space is untidy and yell "GET YOURSELF SORTED OUT" but this is equivalent to victim blaming and punishment by assigning busywork. My evidence comes from reading Victor Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning. When Frankl was working as a doctor in the typhus block he "...was responsible to the camp authorities for keeping the hut clean. The pretense at cleanliness inspection was pure torture than hygiene when more food and a few drugs would have helped."(according to the author's own words)

And here is my bias that I don't think I can overcome. I don't believe any woman freely chooses to erase their identity in public. That it is a product of a misogynistic culture they've been socialized to believe in. You've also named my biggest fear, if Christianity is a minority. What if the majority want us to wear this garment? That it has become normalized in our society. I believe it's okay to have minimum standards in society. We have a social contract when we're in the public sphere. For instance, we're not allowed to walk around naked. We've all agreed that is a minimum standard in the public sphere. The opposite, to cover yourself so completely as to negate any and all identification, perhaps also goes against the social contract? In my opinion. I cannot help but see it as a garment of oppression and misogyny.

The biggest drawback for sales of this aircraft was the concern that Bombardier may go under and no longer support the aircraft. This is no longer an issue. If Bombardier looks to go under, Airbus has first dibs to scoop up the remaining interest in the C series for peanuts. The C series will remain strong with Bombardier or not. Airbus has already won. Boeing lost. Bombardier may get some of the scraps. The deal is too sweet for Airbus to hang them out to dry. They stand to make a lot of profit from this aircraft now before Boeing can catch up.
