I know, it's got to be tough, and I can sympathize with you. To know in your heart that someone else is right, and yet not be able to help yourself from arguing with them would certainly cause inner turmoil, and quite likely exacerbate underlying symptoms of dementia. It would certainly be quite challenging, to say the least.
Your bravery in confronting your challenges in a public forum is something we can all look up to, and learn something from. It's heroes like yourself, sir, that make this country what it is today. | 0 | not toxic |

The AK Oil & Gas Conservation Commission fined Linc Energy for violations when Marty Rutherford and Feigi were in charge at Linc.
http://www.adn.com/alaska-news/article/state-agency-fines-explorer-linc-energy-well-violations/2015/12/02/
“Either they didn’t know what they were doing or they were lying to us... Whichever it was, it was a bad thing, and so there’s a need to deter.”
“Many of the actions associated with the violations occurred with Corri Feige serving as general manager for Linc Energy in Alaska, a position she held for almost five years before she left the company in November 2014, …
Feige established the “company presence in Alaska” and led Linc Energy’s technical team that worked on the gasification project and other efforts…
…In another violation, despite Linc’s claims,… The company had clear instructions to provide that information and “sufficient opportunities” to do so, but did not.
“Linc simply ignored the requirements,” the decision said.” | 0 | not toxic |

Hey John, you forgot to mention the parts played by certain media outlets that habitually portrayed Rob Ford as a 'victim' of the mean, nasty MSM that were always out to get him.
Unfortunately there are a lot of media outlets that seem to have axes to grind on a variety of issues. So sure, you could be following, blow-by-blow, everything happening under Donald Trump's watch. But you might end up thinking whatever the media outlet you are watching wants you to think.
At one time the G&M used to be a pretty good paper. I recall many times reading an article where maybe the author came to a particular conclusion. But there were enough 'facts' in the article that allowed you to come to your own conclusion which might actually disagreed with the author.
Sadly, even at the G&M, those times are no more as (it seems) now a days, everyone is assumed incapable of being unbiased , so why not wear your biases on your sleeve and write accordingly?

As the article pointed out, under the Good Friday accord, the U.K. gov't. is supposed to act a "referee" between Sinn Fein and the DUP if/when disagreements arise wth respect to power-sharing.

Never do you hear, in all the arguing about how to fund Oahu 's monsterous rail project, never, ever, do you hear of a fourth possibility: CUT SPENDING somewhere and reallocate funds to finish the...dang...train. Personally I could care less if it ever gets finished. If it ever does it'll be an albatross around the neck of our economy forever after--a deadweight without enough ridership to even pay for the maintenance and usage costs after completion. So, couldn't we reduce some useless, politically motivated social program--shipping containers for the homeless in Kaka'ako comes to mind--to pay for rail? No, of course not. Couldn't do that. Gotta raise taxes. This is Hawaii for gosh sake! We're just so proud of our little paradise here we're just going to have to ruin it for all. We're going to run it out of town on a rail. | 0 | not toxic |

This was billed as a women's march.
It was apparently about women's issues - one of which appears to be opposing Trump as a President and as a person.
And it may also have been about a woman losing the election.
Someday, those, who are so aroused right now, are going to figure out these things about this past election:
Donald Trump won, in spite of his sizable personal faults, not because of them. Demonstrating about those is fruitless.
Hillary Clinton lost, not because she was a woman, but because she was a candidate otherwise so terrible that many women would not vote for her.
"Women's issues" as defined by the far left are not selling well with white women or white men - or, very likely, with many in minority communities - were it not for their habitual group alignment with the left over their minority identity.
Planned Parenthood will now lose its funding.
That funding will go instead to clinics that actually render women's health services - other than abortion. | 0 | not toxic |

Hatchery pinks salmon ranching is costing the sockeye fisherman money. Notice in 2015 the huge pink salmon glut when the sockeye salmon were each a pound less? Guess what this is costing us. The hatchery fish are eating our wild sockeye salmons food while their out in our wild pastures. How much did this cost the fishing fleet? $3,000,000 dollars in Upper Cook Inlet alone! Sockeye were a pound less across the state so lets see 40,000,000 sockeye each with a pound less weight? $40,000,000 dollars? It is well known on big pink years our sockeye are smaller or less of them. Plus on top of us losing to the hatchery fishermans welfare fish we have to pay 2% on our skinny sockeye to raise these pinks in hatcheries known to cause trouble with wild salmon! Cook Inlet Aquaculture not only cost recovers all the fish in Tutka with their preferred ranching fisherman, damages the sockeye and takes 100% for cost recovery of the fish in resurrection bay. Sounds like an empire building scam | 0 | not toxic |
Not quite the same, but MUCH closer than the meaningless '72%' figure that gets bandied about by those more interested in pushing an agenda than in being honest.
In reality women working full-time earn an average hourly wage of about 90% of what men working full-time earn (women working part-time earn more then men working part-time, but that is mainly because a higher proportion of the "men" working part-time are 15-24 year old students).
The reason for this comes down to a LOT of factors including different types of jobs where one gender makes up a large share of the workforce than another and different levels of experience caused by women taking more time off to raise children and there being comparatively older women near the peak of their career earnings, usually somewhere around 50 to 55 years of age so they would have had to start working in the 1980's.
The gap exists, but it is often BADLY exaggerated. It is also unclear what, if anything, the government CAN do about it. | 0 | not toxic |
To me, this is actually a good thing. This gives the lawmakers a chance to voice their concerns and debate the issues of concern instead of locking step with the party, ala democrats with Obamacare. The bill is actually being read instead of passing it so that they can see what's in the bill. Remember that and the fiasco that followed? If it was done right the first time, we wouldn't be here right now... | 0 | not toxic |

“There’s been incidents that have been brought to my attention … of systemic hate and racism towards ethnic groups, toward faith-based groups."
This is a puzzling statement. Systemic hate and racism doesn't occur in incidents, but is an underlying cause in a system that may produce or manifest itself in incidents of hatred or racism. However, where this is so requires causal analysis and sociological study rather than casual observation and report. | 0 | not toxic |
Mr Picard well said! There needs to be more awareness of these facts and figures. I work at a grocery store and our cigarettes by law have to be hidden behind a door(God forbid if a kid sees them). I can get fined for not asking a person 25 and under for ID, or selling to someone under age. But now this underage person, the child (who didn't see the cigarettes ) can take his parents hand and walk across to the liquor store and look at all the alcohol available. These laws need to change. Under age must Not be allowed in liquor or beer stores. Period!!! | 0 | not toxic |

But they do play politics. That's the only way you can explain them upholding the ACA, which was passed with no resemblance to the Constitution.
The Constitution is only about eight pages long, so do go out and read it. You will see that spending bills MUST start in the House. Bills must pass successfully through BOTH houses of Congress before they can go to the President.
The ACA was started in the Senate (violation!) and was never voted on by the House (because it would have lost there). The Supreme Court should have struck it down on those grounds alone. Regardless of whether the challenge even brought up the illegality of the way it was passed, the Court had an obligation to first and foremost uphold the integrity of the Constitution. They did not. Why not?

He was put in Gitmo under Chretien's watch and eventually released under the Harper Government. If anything it's the Liberals who own this fiasco all because of Chretien.
Face reality. We probably wouldn't be dealing with this mess if Chretien didn't use his influence to have the father released from the Pakistani prison in he first place.
But the idiotic Liberal mindset of a Canadian citizen with known links to Osama in Laden taking precedent over common sense to leave him rotting in a jail where he belonged was too great for Chretien.
Khadr's links to Bin Laden was the political albatross for Chretien and Martin which is why they complied to housing Omar in Gitmo hoping to sweep the Liberal mistake tied to his father's release under the rug.
I know you're probably going to try and pin this all on Harper but he's only responsible for prolonging the incarceration while he waited for the SCC to make the unpopular ruling ordering the request for his release. | 0 | not toxic |

Absolutely. It applies to any marriage, even an undeclared gay one. The reason for the drive for marriage equality is because long-separated families who were technically next of kin banished the husband or wife from the hospital room when their spouse was dying.

If Pillar can get his RISP up next year, he's a 60-65 RBI guy and with a stellar glove, not bad at all. Better numbers than Joc Pederson, and better defence. And Goins has better numbers than Logan Forsythe, Dodgers 2nd base.
Dodgers played better last night, even though they lost. Dave Roberts said the team is dropping a starter ( from 6 to 5) this week. Excluding Kershaw, the ERAs of the other starters since the break : Rich Hill 3.40, Maeda, 3.26, Darvish 5.40, Wood 4.00, Ryu 2.74. The starter dropped? Ryu of course. In the past 3 months, Ryu has given up more than 3 ER once. The most consistent starter gets dropped. Why can't Darvish sit? Just to save face on a dubious trade.
Also, a nod to Brett Anderson, three fairly decent starts for the Jays. Not to be a gossip monger, but I did note he tweeted this week, "It's crazy what happens when you aren't tinkered with and can just go out and pitch." That's a subtle dig at the LAD, possibly at Rick Honeycutt, Dodgers pitching coach. | 0 | not toxic |

It seems this author, Rodney Diverlus and others of the BLM do not understand that this is Canada not the U.S. Stonewall? It certainly raised the level of LGBT political activism cutting across borders, but Canada had its own political history, critical moments and key figures. The Body Politic. The Pink Triangle Press (and all the legal battles). How about Jean Drapeau's "cleaning up" of Montreal for the Olmpics (and riots). The creation of the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. And most recognize the "Stonewall" of Canada was Operation Soap and the Toronto Bathhouse raids of 1981 that lead directly to the first protest parade that can be described as 'Pride'.
Perhaps it is time some of these young activists actually learn the historical and political context of the LGBT movement in Canada. Regurgitating American history is not evidence of "ownership". | 0 | not toxic |

There is no "improving relations" with a tyrant who disrespects sovereign borders in Europe, sews dissent and murders reporters and political rivals, and has visions of becoming the dominant new czar over old soviet Eastern Europe. Some highly educated leaders once appeased a country-grabbing Hitler too, just before he systematically murdered six million Jews, as well as cost the lives of tens of millions in a desperately fought world war that the appeasement led to. When Putin leaves illegally occupied Crimea, Georgia and Ukraine, then one might have reason to be hopeful the current sanctions have worked. For now, the author had better take off his rose colored glasses and get real. You cannot appease a tyrant or a bully. Putin has proven to be both. | 0 | not toxic |

I am not assuming that she is lying or that she is telling the truth. A photo shows a hand behind her it does not show it on her ass and it certainly doesn't show it on her bare ass... In fact it shows the opposite as the skirt would most definitely look different than it does if the back of it were being lifted AND he would have to be a freaking contortionist to touch a bare ass from that 'position' of his arm without lifting the skirt. So I find Swifts claim of grabbing her 'bare ass' to be not only not credible but ludicrous. And since 100% of the testimony wasn't that anyone else saw it but that Taylor Swift 'SAID' that it happened, well thats not enough evidence to do anything. Now if she said that he grabbed her ass and not insisted that he grabbed her bare ass.. well then she has a more credible story at that point. IF that were the claim then I think she has at least a 50/50 chance of winning as it is she has 0. Neither of these two deserve anything special. | 1 | toxic |

The planning commission decision was on whether this particular mega-development should move forward and basically consume all of the county's planning time and resources for the next 3-5 years. The commission rightly said no. The vote was NOT about authorizing studies; it was about authorizing the process that would lead to this mega-development's approval.
Now, you can look at the offer by the developers to pay for the studies needed to permit their development in several ways:
1. Nonsensical. These sorts of studies must be performed; of course the developers should pay for them. They benefit no one else.
2. A clever attempt by the developers, once they saw the massive public opposition and read the writing on the wall, to change the subject.
3. A clever attempt to hijack the County's planning process. This is a common ploy by large developers. They pay (at least partially) for the studies. The consultants must be acceptable to the developers. He who pays the piper calls the tune. | 0 | not toxic |
