Ed West, What are you saying, take your advice for free because you're not using it?
Alaska's oil and gas industry is where I have my investment, so are you advising me to cut out my investment in Alaska's oil and gas investment and diversify investments into Texas and Colorado oil industry?
The world knows Alaska is the best place to find lots of oil and gas AND the state's bad management of the oil and gas lands of Alaska will get better!
My bet is it can't get worse unless they nationalize the oil but that can't happen in America, right?
Buy now and hope the state leaders make the oil and gas rules better and stop the monopoly and the rigged system that keeps competitors and all Alaskans out of the oil and gas competition! | 0 | not toxic |

Wow, you really seem to be able to read invisible print.
There are no statistics to back up your differentiation between what you call practicing Muslims and secular Muslims. I wish there were.
I wish that I could be confident that Islam, which does not distinguish between the church and state, will not become the largest religion in Canada. I wish I could be confident that Muslim immigrants, and their families, will secularize, or at least adhere rigidly to th concept of church state separation.
Your wishful fantasizing does not make it so however
.
For the record, AGAIN, the number of Canadians identifying as Muslim has increased from 0.5% to 3% between 1991 and 2011.
This does not include those, of any race or creed, who identify as non-religious, which by the way would include me. | 0 | not toxic |

Trump Set the Trap and the Rats (and RINOs) Walked In
By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi...
Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama.
Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.

For those who think they are white as snow and without blemish I must repeat this truth: From Lisa Bloom. Lisa Bloom is a Legal analyst for NBC News and Avvo, attorney and bestselling author.
"In our nation’s history, so many of the sickest most appalling crimes have been committed by whites. Yet no matter how sadistic the crime, no matter how young the victims, no matter how much fear is engendered in a community, no matter how much media attention and public discussion the crimes of whites engender, the race itself is never sullied."
Lisa Bloom also says white men are at the top of the list for gaining foreign visas to have sex with children. 85-percent in Latin America, she says.
Lisa Bloom also adds the most prolific serial killers in this country (America) are white men. And last, white women are known for killing their children.

The picture of tree, in the road, was a piece of Waikiki history. That road, was once at the edge of the tree. The road was cut back from that tree.
In the past, Waikiki was a tourist & local friendly place. Now, because of highly limited parking, it will become a tourist only place.
What limited free parking, that is still left over in Waikiki, should remain. Every other parking location, has a parking meter, or no parking zone, or no standing zone, or loading zone only.
By making Waikiki, a tourist only location, because of the limited parking areas, that will cause a discrimination against the local people.
There are many local people, who can not afford the simple pleasures of life anymore, because of parking problems. | 0 | not toxic |
One of Trump's campaign slogan/platform planks was "undue" everything President Obama has done." There's nothing surprising about his selecting a Cabinet reflecting that approach: a Secretary of Education who doesn't believe in public education: a Secretary of Labor whose personal fortune is built on minimum wage workers; an Attorney General with a history of racism; a Secretary of State who has spent his career making "business deals" with foreign leaders and has absolutely no experience in international relations; Secretary of HHS with no experience working with the issues which face the department; and on and on through the Cabinet.

Yirmin Snipe,
Have you ever had to help you 86 year old mother get from wheelchair into a car, when the parking space next to where you had to park (no handicap parking) only to find that there isn't room to open up the door and push the wheelchair up to the it to get her out and into the car ?
Or, take your 35 year old son, who is paralyzed from the shoulders down, to the Mall but there is no place close enough to the entrance to park where you can use the lift to get him out of the van in his specialized van withhis oxygen tank ? After all, you are a 69 year old mother who has a difficult time pushing the chair as it is.
I realize that some folks are uncomfortable with seeing or looking at the disabled and would rather they just stay home, but if it were you who had been in an accident that left you in a chair, would you want the right to be able to go to the Mall ?

You miss my point. Yes, voters can restrict new taxes and tax increases. They can even vote to cut taxes. My point is that if they choose this path, DON'T approve new programs that require additional revenue without a means to cover the costs. It only makes the problem more difficult to solve.
I personally think that public schools are not held to account for their spending. Many school districts already spent the money from the "Grand Bargain" the legislature passed... and then the Oregon Supreme Court struck it down. Now they are pleading they don't have enough money. Spend money you don't really have and it becomes problematic. Voting for and approving programs you don't fund is also a big problem. | 0 | not toxic |

"A photo ID is something every legal citizen should have and if the parties focused on this then it could be one of the positives coming out of any election."
Except that Republicans dont want to help people get IDs because the people who need them the most tend to be minorities and poor people - neither of which is a great demographic for Republicans votes.
And Democrats are just, in general, terrible about following through with these issues, and in their current state, are really in no great position to try and push for such things when they are the minority party in nearly all forms of government right now. | 0 | not toxic |

Where did the idea that all people should be guaranteed equal health care originate? It's bogus. Health care is money. Politicians figured that by taking money from some and giving it to others, they would get votes. That has worked. The people who receive the money vote for the people who give it to them. Now we have half the population receiving while not paying and we wonder why the middle class is hurting. It's because there's not enough money in the hands of just rich people to cover the bills that we're incurred. Now we are devouring the middle class with taxes and killing their jobs with added costs for companies. The only way everyone will get the same level of health care is to lower that level. That is exactly what is happening. | 0 | not toxic |

The Board failed miserably...
But the OSC appears to have caused a run on the bank that could end with the shares worthless. Executives failed to properly disclose a material decline in business. They should be punished by the OSC. But was the OSC wise to take all these actions that have led to a run on the bank? The Home Capital Board should have cooperated with the OSC and should have punted the three immediately. But did the OSC realize it was going to cause so much damage? I don't think it did.
The direct damage of the liar loans, the vast majority of which are apparently current in their payments was NOTHING compared to the damage of the loss of trust caused by the OSC investigation and the horribly bungled reaction to it.

Why is it the only candidates we ever hear about have an 'R' next to their name? This state is gerrymandered to the point of inoperability because only the supermajority's policies get considered. We need new faces, but they don't all have to be Rs. We do need a state tax and the permanent fund to be restructured. You can't fix this mess with cuts only. Chris did some very sketchy things while on the Assembly so he's not the answer either. I would like a legislator who isn't beholden to special interest groups, the Koch Brothers, or religious entities, is a champion for people, not corporations & is willing to incorporate anyone's ideas into policy that will bring this state forward out of the quagmire created by the Republicans - a person who does what's right for the good of the state rather than for job security or majority interests.
