I guess "the resistance" isn't as strong as they thought. The SoS told the admin what they could and couldn't have under the voting laws from CO. All of that info is easy to source through home ownership, car registration, census info. If the Govt really wants your info, they call up the IRS and tell them what they want. Which is exactly what the last admin did to people.

Each human being has a very unique patchwork of genetic beginnings plus life experiences which eventually mold into quite personal definitions regarding every conceivable topic ... what is good, what is bad, what is ethical, when to be skeptical (and when not), ad finitum. My own concept of "being skeptical" means that in response to some stimulus, my mind is automatically flooded with questions ... What? Who? Why? When? Where? Each "answer" to any of these questions then raises new questions. To be honestly skeptical, there is one more extremely important question: "What is MISSING in my own perceptions and interpretations?" This last question delves into the "blind spots" in any person's responses to external and internal events. This is critical. The Biblical admonition to "beware of false prophets" is a statement to be closely examined for the who, why, when issues ... and also the "blind spot". Religious/supernatural acceptance raises questions of what one does not see.

Hello Mark and Coleco, Your personal feelings of incredulity, about my typo, are really fascinating stuff to read about - far more interesting than, um, how life in the universe begins, so thanks for sharing your very interesting feelings of incredulity here today. I further applaud your admirably perfect eyesight-related skills in developing and editing your own drafts,, as clearly neither of you have ever modified your initially-typed draft by duplicating and cutting and pasting and re-ordering and, in so doing, screwing up with your content. So again, bravo to your type-editing and eyesight skills, take the applause, and all I can do is bow and humbly say "not worthy, not worthy", with a tip of my cap at you both. But back to the trivial and boring matter of the origin of life in the universe - I gather you are both adherents then of the scientists' moon theory I mentioned? Neither of you have voiced objection to it...

In the aftermath of the devastating 2013 Calgary flood, there was a wonderful article by a U of C professor published in the Calgary Herald that was titled "A Flood Plain is a Plain That Floods". I personally know a number of people who experienced extreme flood damage during that disaster and other floods during this century and they all had one thing in common; they lived on the flood plain. Flood plains are wonderful places to live and recreate when the river is not flooding. Cities, municipalities, provinces and home owners continue to invest large sums of money along rivers and lakes in almost total disregard of the fact that flooding will occur at some point in the future. When the flooding does occur, many "experts" blame climate change, and the victims expect the government to bail them out. These bail outs are subsidies whereby the majority of society that does not build on flood plains bails out the minority that does. Remember, a flood plain is a plain that floods.

I agree Glenn. I think theirs two separate articles in this one. When talking about ulua, rois, other reef fish, they are usually associated with ciguatera. The scare with pelagics and other deep water species (mostly consumed raw) is histamine, ecoli, and salmonella. BUT our fishery does a great job with temperature and handling and has an outstanding health record. Another thing to bring up is fresh, local VS. imported/frozen. Our standards and regulations are far superior than many other countries. Why are our products generally more expensive?? Boats, auction, wholesalers all pay and take the extra step to ensure safe and high quality products. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for."

My thoughts are that euthanasia and spay/neuter should be the lowest cost possible. People that take their pets to a vet and spend money on the visit, x-rays and/or other tests should not be gouged when the vet returns a death sentence for the animal. I had something like that happen with a pet. The euthanasia cost more than the visit and x-rays for a tiny rabbit. Go figure! Also, I have a pet peeve with the cost of spays for rabbits. There isn't a low cost spay for them. SPCA doesn't spay rabbits even though a vet I know offered to teach the vet there how to do it. The least expensive rabbit spay is about $280 & some vets charge over $500. Only the richest of people can usually afford that. I don't necessarily agree that people should not have pets they can't afford. To some, esp the elderly, it is really important to have a companion. There are many doe rabbits that are dumped because they can be cranky if they aren't spayed, plus they're more likely to get cancer. Quit gouging me!

Generally agree, although I think Raitt is probably okay although perhaps not the best. Saxton and Peterson are fine, but have no chance. Scheer is a bit too right wing, Alexander too tained while Trost, Leitch, Lemieux, and Blaney too extreme. Bernier is a bit risky as he is a libertarian so not a socon or alt right and in that sense appeals to many, but he might be a bit too right wing economically, even though I would still vote for him in 2019, not sure if he could win nationally.

Why do you think this country was born on God, Glory and Guts? Why do people think this country was founded on Christian principles? Why "Shame on you!" I don't think it is appropriate for anyone to pray to anything other than our Christian Biblical God, but I don't think it is necessary or even desirable to have invocation before any meeting of a business nature unless it is religious in nature. I am somewhat confused by your stance about the 501c3 status. I appreciate your viewpoint and dialog with me. I value any discussion about the Christian faith. I do have one issue with my faith that I don't think I have ever expressed to anyone, even my mentor, but I look more to Jesus and the New Testament than to God and the Old Testament for examples on how to live my life and how I treat others.

I agree with you 100%, and I have no problem with a moment of silence...as that is something that can be used to say a prayer, collect your thoughts, take a couple of deep breaths, go over in your head something you are wanting to discuss, etc. But a prayer, that is one person imposing their personal religion on the whole meeting. That is not right and it often seems to go beyond prayer into proselytization, especially heavily evangelical areas.

Ah yes...the bubba years are coming back to haunt! Set asides for China were well documented (or at least vaguely referred to in news stories) ala the real estate boom w/ Japan in the '80s. From supposedly legit business deals between U.S. investors looking to increase profit share, which ended up actually being financing for the PLA, which then probably went to underwriting the fledgling Clinton Global Initiative, to actual giving away of U.S. intellectual property to China which we are now seeing in "products" like the J-20 or the other "5th gen" fighters that will no doubt be employed to rival U.S. systems. Bandied about, too, are the numerous blasts from the past where "information gathering" efforts during bubba's admin included Lockheed, Los Alamos, White Sands, and other fun places. Great times.

The Democrats are already backing Stock, so she'll get their dependable 47% of the statewide vote. Metcalfe won't even score as well as Theresa Obermeyer in 1996. Give him 1-2%. That leaves 51 -52%. The angry white guys will vote for Miller, giving him 10-15% of the vote. That means Murkowski draws 36-42%. That was enough to put her over the top last time, but not this time. Democrats won't vote for her twice. Miller just handed the race to Stock. The Senate was already likely to flip to the Democrats. Now the Republicans have lost what by all rights should be a bullet proof seat. Assuming Clinton wins the presidency (and the odds are looking good for her), she's going to have a Senate that's one seat friendlier than she was already anticipating. All because of Joe Miller's ego. On the bright side, this will be Genuine Diamelle Joe's last stand. The Republicans will never take him back after this stunt. Maybe he'll finally get job when it's all over.

It is already a farce for those living in the Snohomish county area. The original promise was service to Everett. Then they revised it to Lynnwood. Then the Northgate transit center, then the U District. But when the Monorail initiative passed, they went south to block it. Then they said a second phase would go north. Now it is going to be nearly fifty years of taxes to reach Everett. This was voted down by Snohomish county residents repeatedly. They changed the rules to make it pass with a majority across the region, so Seattle wins. The rest don't matter.It isn't the will of the people, it's the will of Seattle voters.When it comes time to fund the farther reaching extensions after Seattle is well served paid by the whole region, will Seattle vote for tracks they won't use? Maybe not a good bet. But everyone else will have paid for Seattle.This project is mismanaged, like buying Canadian cars they couldn't use, and the lies.The original manager said if they told the truth, it'd fail.

Senator Murkowski continues to show that she is an adult in the room, a legislator who can think and act independently in the interest(s) of Alaskans and who puts country above party dogma and strong-arm tactics. She has demonstrated the independence and courage that will forever earn my support and vote. She and Senator McCain believe that health care reform is so important that any reform should be subject to "regular order", a deliberative and inclusive Senate process to openly air and vet the pros and cons of any new health care policy. Such policy developed in back rooms in Washington by a handful of same-party Senators with zero public visibility and with no inclusion of the opposition party is properly doomed to failure. Trump desperately wants to be able to sign something, anything, to help his sinking ship. Please stay your course Senator Murkowski. As Mr. McCain noted yesterday, compromise in a viable Democracy is not treason nor weakness. It is imperative for good policy.
