This election is the perfect opportunity to strike at the status quo by voting for a 3rd party and possibly giving us an alternative to the same old, same old in 2020. There's no question (unfortunately) that tRump will carry AK, you can help the alternative party of your choice possibly achieve the threshold for federal matching $ and debate participation with your vote w/o it impacting the election result.

A "litmus test" is an issue that someone else cares about, that you don't care about.

Judah, perhaps you read something in her article that I did not, as nowhere did I see any endorsement of Trump in it. Merely pointing out the crocodile tears and hypersensitive egos of the professional victims (and modern society has a plethora of them) who hypocritically decry and denounce some of Trump's comments --- while similar or worse statements (not to mention gross and unqualified corruption) from their presumed political candidate (or others) are unmet by similar umbrage --- does not automatically presume any level of support for Mr. Trump. I would make many similar claims myself, and yet I do not support Mr. Trump nor will be voting for him --- I merely hate self-serving hypocrisy and cynical political haymaking. | 0 | not toxic |
I find it "interesting" to see Richmond Bishop Francis DiLorenzo call out racism. He has done nothing to work for racial harmony in his diocese, nor to call out a racist priest in the diocese. The Bishop partially attended a Spanish Mass for the Hispanic community in the Cathedral a few years ago. He made no attempts to speak in Spanish dring the Mass and has done nothing to help the Latino community grow, much less the black Catholic commuity. He had a priest of one his largest parishes in Henrico County state from the pulpit that blacks needed to go back to where they came from as a response the the arttacks in Dallas where the congregation applauded him during his homily. I am sure the blessed Mother for whom the parish is named was beside herself. That same parish has a large Hispanic presence where pastor will not allow a Spanish Mass. So I am sure there are many other Richmonders who are finding the Bishops comments "interesting". | 0 | not toxic |

It is understandable that an increasing number of Jews living abroad feel safer in Israel than( let's say ...) - France. Jews are flocking to Israel. It is also understandable that, for at least a half century or more, the West - mainly North America ...- has given Israel absurd amounts of (tax) free money to keep expanding those ( oops!) - illegal settlements. Let's face the facts please: most of those settlements are illegal. Period. It is a gobbling madness in ( nuclear) motion that has created a terrible, suicidal resentment ( not only) in the Middle East. Israel has the right to exist. Ditto. Yet does Israel has the " divine" right to impose/pave/ expand "whatever" on what used to be Palestinian's lovingly cared orchards? To humiliate a land that belonged to the Palestinians since day one? ( another oops!). And what about Israel having "divine" access to the best of drinkable water and leaving the Palestinian with a left over of a primal resource - water that is scarce, polluted? | 0 | not toxic |

Lay people cannot be priests unless they are *sacramentally ordained* to be priests. Terminology and classifications such as "lay state versus clerical state" are negotiable, but sacramental ordination is not negotiable. See the definition on the sacramental priesthood by the Council of Trent:
http://www.thecounciloftrent.com/ch23.htm
Can you find a masculinity requirement for apostolic succession? What matters is the sacramental structure of the Church. Temptation is everywhere, but structures do matter. Women can be tempted with clericalism as much as men, but having both men and women in the clergy would be a significant deterrent to clericalism, because clericalism is exacerbated by patriarchalism. Humanly speaking, ghettos become less so when you open them up. The clerical ghetto is no exception. We cannot mess around with the sacramental structure of the Church, but we can and should remove artificial gender barriers. It is time to ordain women as priests! | 0 | not toxic |

Confidence is knowing when to say NO (my BC mentors drilled NO into my head over 3 decades ago), overcoming arrogant group think and turning around. Sad to revisit Sheep Creek (I stayed out of the BC during that storm cycle for a reason) and Stevens Pass as in both events they made extremely and avoidable dumb mistakes that solid BC experts would never make. Sorry to kick the dead but both parties blew it and paid for it with too many lives. CAIC was kind in their write up of Sheep Creek and their assessment, which spoke to the group's mistakes that occurred immediately as they entered an obvious terrain trap that basic BC knowledge would have identified. For those of us seasoned BC folks the depth hoar from early in that season made for year a good year to stay low angle or in-bounds...yes, my post may offend but it's how my mentors and I have stayed alive for decades my friend especially in the low moisture content Colorado snowpack. | 0 | not toxic |
RJ and other dealers have a very vested interest in getting people to be bullish and buy what they are selling.
No one knows where the price goes - it is definitely manipulated, but so is everything else. While there can be intermittent spikes, the trend is lower. And for good reasons.
- new technologies have brought down costs, so drillers will sell forward any price spike and start drilling
- marginal reduced demand (see Volvo shifting away from gas completely)
- shift to LNG (the real reason the Saudis are attacking Qatar)
- production cuts have been orchestrated, but holding so many countries in line for an extended period of time is impossible. If prices are this low with orchestrated cuts, imagine what happens when they break ranks or cheat
In short - anything can happen, but the longer-term range is lower (likely in the 40 - 60 range). | 0 | not toxic |

Whether or not the act of "swearing in" runs counter to tradition, those giving testimony should understand that their testimony has the potential not just to relieve burdens of injustice for the victim, but also to destroy reputations and even the lives of those alleged to have imposed an injury.

"Finally, we must resist a bad habit infecting political commentary that sees Trump's irresponsibility, bigotry and casual cruelty as a heroic form of "disruption" aimed at bringing down "the establishment."...Americans who tell pollsters they oppose Trump — including outsiders from Bernie Sanders on the left to third-party presidential candidate Evan McMullin on the right — are not defending some status quo. They are standing up for humane principles that Trump is threatening: democracy over authoritarian nationalism; religious pluralism over bigotry; clarity of thought, speech and action over a self-involved indiscipline; civil rights and civil liberties over their unchecked abuse; and a basic decency toward each other over a political approach devoted to disparaging and bullying adversaries."

Detox is a medical intervention for a medical problem: that is right. Alcohol misuse is a horrible problem in Alaska: if I weren't an old hand at life, I would have been surprised by alcohol being served at a recent domestic violence fundraising dinner on Prince of Wales Island. We as a people aren't taking the enormity of the problem seriously.
4 years ago I asked my representative who was in attendance at this dinner, to sponsor a joint resolution which simply asked people to recognize the dangers of alcohol, so that they would be better recognize the problem early on. He refused to even consider doing as I asked. Since that day the state of Alaska has spent $2 billion more than they have taken in alcohol tax, just cleaning up the mess from this substance. Also since this date, there have been about 800 alcohol related homicides in Alaska.

What bargaining chip did the opposition MPs "give" the US administration relevant to free trade?
Trump administration insiders are already well briefed on Trudeau and his strengths (great hair), weaknesses (shallow as a bird bath for anorexic sparrows), peculiar thoughts on military issues and terrorism (if we kill the enemy, the enemy wins), anti-Americanism, love of the Chinese communist dictatorship, etc.
But they are and will stay focused on reaching the best possible rewrite of NAFTA in American economic and employment interests regardless of other irritants from The Clown Prince .
The parliamentary opposition's job is to hold the government to account not to serve as ambassadors (Trudeau has people for that) and cheerleaders and pom pom girls (we have enough of them here) for Trudeau and the Liberal government.

He killed her by drowning her in the bath tub after feeding her a bunch of over the counter sleeping pills. Another friend was murdered by being repeatedly run over by the same car. When someone is really intent on killing or harming someone, they will always find a way, gun or not. | 0 | not toxic |
Pope Hypocrite should rethink most of his political positions, if he considers himself to be Christian. Vatican City is surrounded by a wall. They have no illegal immigrants in Vatican City and only handful of highly screened refugees. "Pope Francis, tear down your wall!"
Romans 13 makes it clear that Christians (and popes) are to respect civil governments. Coming into a country ILLEGALLY clearly resists civil authority. Pope Francis proclaiming that DACA is pro-life, reveals his rebellion to God. (Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil).
Should nations have borders and immigration laws? The Law of Moses laid out borders for Israel. Furthermore, the Law also instructed Israel on how to handle aliens/foreigners. They had to eventually become Jews or get expelled. After Nehemiah led the people to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem, he expelled the foreigners from the city and punished the Jews for raising their children to be pagans (Nehemiah 13). | 1 | toxic |
The synods voted on documents--but those documents were not Amoris Laetitia! The bishops never voted on any "paragraphs" in AL! | 0 | not toxic |
Nassim Taleb, one of this generation's great risk analysts/intellectuals and the award winning author of "The Black Swan" and "Antifragile" has a new book, "Skin in the Game". Perhaps Cathal Kelly should read it.

The NHL and its mostly Canadian and European has no skin in the game of US politics and race relations. The wisest course is to do/say nothing about and carry on as usual. | 0 | not toxic |
No, most immigrants to Canada came here to escape the conditions in their own country instead of fighting to change them.
The difference is that the economy and society here were much more capable of integrating them than today. | 0 | not toxic |
To everyone concerned here, every group I mentioned in my initial post receive an exclusive entitlement to government sponsored healthcare. Citizens outside of the groups mentioned above fully fund through their tax dollars healthcare facilities and health care professionals that are otherwise not available outside of the groups listed.
I purchase private insurance but I also have access to exclusive taxpayer funded healthcare, due to my service.
While it is true that I pay a very small administrative fee to use the free healthcare, the healthcare and its professionals are exclusive only to me and the groups listed. | 0 | not toxic |
I don't know why United didn't just offer more compensation for passengers to give up their tickets. $800, a room, and a meal pales in comparison to what Delta is willing to pay. check out this Forbes article on this family that made $11,000 for giving up a series of tickets.

"the president-elect must assemble a team to take the reins of the massive federal bureaucracy"
Maybe we will get lucky and Trump will just leave some of those reins laying there; that horrible bureaucracy can be a little less massive.
It has been said that the transition from Bush to Obama was "seamless"; notice that there was no change in policy wither. Maybe a slower and more difficult transition will result in actual change. | 0 | not toxic |

No standardized test can accurately measure student progress across state lines or even with a state. That's why NCLB was canceled.
That's part of the gospel of the NEA and the Oregon Teachers as well. | 0 | not toxic |
This is how you responded to my very first comment, not addressed to you: "Get thee to a nunnery. Or a monastery. Depending on your gender."
And then when I point out your rudeness you retort that I am: "ugly, contentious, rude, snide, and pretentious"
And you are what? :)) A Joke? | 1 | toxic |

Uh . . . no. but here's an article quoting my statistic from your CFAP.
"Technically, immigrants are eligible for DACA if they came to the US under the age of 16. But in practice, the majority were much younger when they immigrated. In the most recent survey of 3,063 DACA recipients, conducted in August 2017 by Tom Wong of UC San Diego (for the liberal think tank the Center for American Progress and other immigrant advocacy groups), the average age that respondents said they’d arrived in the US was 6-and-a-half years old." | 0 | not toxic |
