It's asked a lot, but I encourage you to speak from your heart Charles. It's one of the few time some of these people get to hear a black voice. People need to know the hurt and pain of racial discrimination at a personal level- at Charles level. You don't represent all black opinion,(any more than I represent all white people), but you offer a very real story of prejudice for a black person. I hope you tell us just how it's affected your life in Eugene, use real personal experience. | 0 | not toxic |

I'm tired of hearing the apologists' mantra that there are only a few bad apples and that most police officers are good, upstanding members of the force, That is patently false, which is proven by the actions or inaction of the so-called good officers.
If they were so good and honourable, they would call out those among them who are the bad actors and drum them out of the force. They see what's going on but they do nothing, therefore they at best condone and in reality are often complicit after the fact (with such things as edited field notes). | 0 | not toxic |
Which is why we have the courts to balance the ego fed political branch.
The Court would not have to act, if the spineless Congress had been doing their job over the last 30 years. The stubborn ideological wars have destroyed the ability of Congress to find effective compromises that would at least dent intractable problems like infrastructure collapse, budget debt, health care Cost, ect. Instead they push the really important issues to the side and blame 'the other guy' for being the problem.
Its gotten so bad that we elected the least qualified candidate in modern history, on the sad hopes that a 'star' would save us. It didn't work for Obama, it won't work for Trump.
Congress may have no choice but to be the adult in the next four years, I hope they step up, but I'm not betting on it.
It take two to fail, I'm not exclusively blaiming either party as the problem. | 0 | not toxic |
That's an interesting conversion for a full size truck. The 240 recharging is not at all common so that's a huge problem. It's a hybrid so it still burns gas and gives off emissions so while a step forward, still not the solution. A big problem with electric vehicles is the expense when you have to change out the batteries. They aren't environmentally friendly for disposal. Still, I'd consider an electric vehicle if they can get them to the point where they compare to gas vehicles equally. | 0 | not toxic |

As a former RCMP member, I must agree with you. The Force is struggling to be too many things to too many people. Recruiting is down, members are quitting in dismay over promotions, pay and personnel issues. The demand from the Province of BC alone has outstripped their ability to supply new members.
It would be best if they were to give the provinces a 5 years 'heads-up' to allow them to plan the pull back from uniform policing. They could then focus on federal matters, and work at attempting to regain some of the credibility they have lost. | 0 | not toxic |

Good for you Jeannie...for being pro-active. I have also have followed a natural
approach and am feeling so much better.
The tips below have helped me...
-Items with corn syrup don't satisfy the appetite and raise blood sugar.
-Eat lots of vegetables with some protein and add fermented foods for probiotics to
help with good gut bacteria (sauerkraut and cultured veggies are easy and inexpensive to
make)...many healthy, trim cultures live this way.
-Use a smaller, luncheon-styled plate.
-Get some type of water purifier and drink water instead of sodas.

An equally egregious way that PET stabbed Quebec in the back was his tireless work when no longer in power to sabotage the Meech Lake Accord. He hooked up (in more ways than one) with Debra Coyne the constitutional adviser to Newfoundland premier Clyde Wells to develop a way to scuttle Meech and it worked. PET's giant ego could not tolerate Mulroney coming up with a viable way to recruit Quebec back into the federal fold with honour and dignity.
As a result, we came within one sell out crowd (51000 votes) at Olympic Stadium of losing the second referendum!
Virtually all of the provisions of Meech Lake are now in force through a combination of legislation, regulation and tacit adherence.
As with pretty much everything he did and tried to do on the economic, environmental, international and unity files, Brian Mulroney has been proven right and Trudeau 1.0 has been relegated among those of us who can discern our anuses from holes in the ground to be nothing but a horrible nightmare. | 0 | not toxic |

It's very easy to sit back and play Monday morning quarterback. The only people that desire abortion is the mother willing to consent to the procedure. All other interested parties are either pro-choice (leaving it up to the woman and her doctor), or pro-life (only while the fetus is in the womb).

Yes, of course the cost of Measure 97 will be passed on to consumers. To think otherwise is delusional. Some businesses fight the measure because it applies only to some and puts them at a disadvantage relative to the untaxed competing companies.
So to make an informed decision, we must assume that we consumers collectively will pay the bill. The next question, given that we will pay the bill, is whether we want to give up our earned money to the state government for whatever purpose.
Keep in mind that this tax is extremely regressive. The poor will pay a higher proportion of their income to this tax than the wealthy. Other states have honest sales taxes that do not pretend to tax corporations. These states often exclude necessities like food thereby mitigating the impact on the poor. Measure 97 does not exclude necessities making its impact on the poor extreme.
In deciding, don't believe in the lie that we will not pay. | 0 | not toxic |

There is definitely a way to cut back on overtime. Leave the rubbish on the curb until they get around to picking it up, only respond to police calls they "think" are important and let some structures burn. How does that sound? On the other hand, they could start with fully staffing these departments, which never happens, and see how that helps. Before you throw out an inflammatory statement such as overtime "abuse", why not take into account that these "abusers" are your family, friends and neighbors who are giving up their freetime/family time/own time to help thier departments and the people of this state to enjoy the services they feel entitled to.

This is typical Western thinking, focused only on numbers, percentages, data and also of people who have little experiece with the actual societies they are dictating terms to. First of all, one of the basic legal rights of a society is to be able to determine who is a part of that society and not have that imposed from the outside from those who don't even know them or are a legal part of that group.
Secondly, and more importantly, if you go to a rural community/society you will see that how you function, how you relate is way more than just your genetic makeup. I see people who, from physical appearance, have a lot of outside genetics but from how they interact with their familes and communities, the cultural values they hold, the life they live, the food they eat, the *function* they have in that community, the language they might speak you cannot ever say that they are not part of that society that they are not Native.

It is interesting how Alaskans are so willing to use federal subsidies for any project no matter how wasteful, as though they aren't being subsidized by the rest of the country, while resenting every penny they must pay toward any collective good.

Yes. Tillerson was one of Trump's cabinet members who lobbied Trump hard to stay in the accord. Mattis and McMaster and Kelly-- all former generals also reflected the military view on the importance of the standards set in the Paris Accords. Gary Cohn an ex Goldman guy said the same thing that the current Goldman head tweeted. All the CEO's who lobbied for staying in the accord also reflect what corporations are already doing. With all that, I think we continue to cut carbon emissions without the accord. In fact, the Paris Accord is becoming a standard that shareholders are pressing companies to adopt and will be the basis for lawsuits to be sure corporations do adhere to them-- at the least it forces companies to consider the issue carefully. | 0 | not toxic |

Better we simply remove all the originals, put them on display behind bullet-resistant glass, and then replace them with facsimiles. At least then the original appearance of Iolani Palace can be preserved. The big difference between a standalone painting or sculpture and the glass panes at Iolani Palace is that the latter form part of an architectural and aesthetic whole. Sure, shielding the originals in situ with some sort of tough plastic or glass frame would work as far as protecting them from vandals, but then you'd now have introduced at the very least a visible reminder that Hawaii's own people can't be trusted with preserving them - for all the tourists to make note of and photograph.
In any case, the point of my earlier comment was to emphasize how much more intolerable this kind of wanton destruction is. A glass store window on King Street can be shattered by a vandal too, but its loss isn't nearly comparable to the loss suffered again at Iolani Palace. | 0 | not toxic |

Our economic system is, and always has been a mix of capitalism and socialism. That is why the fire department will save your house without asking for your credit card first, why you can drive on public roads and are protected 24/7 by a public military. Not to mention the fact that every major scientific and technologic advance since WW2 has been largely based on publicly funded research. Weather satellites, the internet, DNA testing, GPS, even commercial air travel, were all largely started and developed by government funded scientists and engineers. If we ever cure cancer, it will be because of publicly funded research in publicly funded research hospitals. Almost no one is promoting pure socialism, but pretending that your life and business and livelihood aren't dependent also upon socialist programs is pure ignorance. Some things run better with capitalism, some (especially infrastructure and other long-term investments) work better through public funding. | 1 | toxic |

I think you're only partly correct, but at least partly. What we should do is apply selective import tariffs on those goods that we already produce, or know we can produce.

As someone with Jewish heritage (though not matrilineal) is multi-racial and bisexual, this man offends me on multiple fronts. I will not stand by as though there is nothing wrong with him.

Confronting such a person in a family-friendly environment need not be in your face but it can be within earshot, especially if I was there with my children. I would say in a voice loud enough to be heard that the tattoos that man wears (with pride?) are symbols of people who wish me and my family harm and that my children should remember that those symbols are an attempt to cower us into submission - I will tell my children to be wary of such people and be grateful that they show their ignorance and hatred so publicly so that we can recognize the enemy without the dog-whistle politics of those who use 'alt-right' as disguise | 0 | not toxic |
