Is this "civil comments" business meant to skew the set to the right. I don't see a very reasonable comment I just posted. The essence of my comment was I have seen no left wing mention, let alone fawning, about Obama's birthday and I have never seen a quibble about "former" for a retired president either. I did suggest the author rejoin America, if that's over the top, I apologize. | 0 | not toxic |

To improve things, Cato recommends that Hawaii do this: cut spending “on sanitation and sewerage, parks and recreation, public buildings, health and hospitals” and other “miscellaneous” areas; relax the state’s “extreme land-use regulations”; and
adopt a “shall-issue concealed-carry license”. What a bunch of bullshit. I guess Cato institute has never been to Hawaii. Fair to say we don't spend enough on sanitation and sewerage, parks and recreation, public buildings, health and hospitals. All categories of great examples of crumbling infrastructure. Imagine if there weren't “extreme land-use regulations”. Say goodbye to the trees, shorelines and ALL agricultural lands. The islands would be one big KAPU for the poor and average citizens. And one of the nicest things about Hawaii is that we are all not carrying guns, because I'm sure we'd do our best to shoot each other more often if we had more guns. | 0 | not toxic |

$160 for a couple of tickets for what amounts to a stop on a book tour: too pricey for most. You might have expected Clinton's publisher to pick up the tab. Making money is no crime although money seems to have been an all too prominent part of Clintons retinue before, during and after the election. Tellingly, during the campaign for the Democratic nomination Sanders supporters showered Clinton's motorcade to an LA fund raiser with dollar bills to underscore the point. Listening to abandoned working class Democrats rather than cozy huddles with bankers might have been more productive and maybe we wouldn't have to ask ourselves What Happened? | 0 | not toxic |

Still don't understand why the "accumulated deficit" was permitted to increase by millions each year for so many years.

Alex, the AEA's continued development of non-competitive construction and subsidized intrusion into the private sector of our economy is a glaring example of how an unchecked government agency can build itself into its own empire. While you were investigating this story, did you happen to ask why the state government is building these power modules instead of putting them out to bid? Did you wonder if the state government is the most efficient entity to build the project? AEA has developed and continues to develop its own sole-source mentality, increasing its role as both the manager of funds and private contractor, its own watchdog. Did you ask if the AEA has the required manufacturer's licenses that a private entity would need. Did you ask if its employees were licensed by the State equivalent to a private contractor? Did you ask how AEA afforded to develop this "expertise" in-house? Now that you've carried their flag for them, maybe you can report on the rest of the story. | 0 | not toxic |

My comments are late because I only stumbled onto this ill conceived and poorly executed piece by accident.
Call me stupid if you like, but I don't see how you say the following: "This media-created narrative threatens and undermines the integrity of SARS, for example, to focus on its core mandate of revenue collection to enhance implementation of government programmes to the disadvantaged majority of this country."
How does media coverage threaten SARS integrity, if what the media does, is question SARS actions and the actions of its leader, and in-actions where action is critical? How does media coverage threaten or undermine SARS integrity to focus on its mandate? If SARS and Moyane's actions demonstrate that it is more important to play political games than to focus on its mandate, then by all means, I think, SOMEONE should focus on SARS' mandate and be commended for the public service they perform. So, thank you, to the media, for focussing on SARS' mandate!!! | 1 | toxic |

The U.S. Senate, under Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has wasted time and confounded the nation on health care.

I can't speak for everyone, but as a subsistence user, I donate every year to conservation efforts. Believe it or not, hunters, trappers, and mushers are capable of deeply caring about animals and the environment. They are not mutually exclusive. Just because you chose not to sit down and have a steak or wear fur mittens (which speaking from experience are way warmer than synthetic mittens), doesn't mean you get to sit down a take a big dump on people who do. Every time I catch a fish, I am grateful for it to be in my freezer. When my husband brought home his first reindeer, we skinned it and butchered it in the living room. I cried, but I was grateful because that reindeer fed us for months. Don't sit there and say that people who eat animals, watch the Iditarod, hunt, and trap don't care about animals. That is the biggest lie PETA tells. | 0 | not toxic |

Another significant factor delaying discharge: the funding process for home care, assisted living, or skilled facility care. Once a patient is ready to transition (or very close), many patients need to apply for specific insurance to cover that kind of care, which is not automatic under most plans. (Just because it was considered medically necessary by a multidisciplinary team doesn't mean it was covered... but your hospital stay? That's definitely decertified now, because the team is recommending transfer to a different level of care.) The state can take 30 days to review that application once all the materials are pulled together - and it essentially -always- takes 28-30 days. Assisted living and skilled nursing applications aren't reviewed until that funding is in place as they are in no position to hold beds indefinitely.
This leads to a 2-4 week extension of hospital time on these stays, & it's not something anyone wants. | 0 | not toxic |
But shouldn't healthcare research be linked with better healthcare outcomes at which the US has been demonstrated to perform poorly?

motley, you know how DA's interpret the law. If one piece of glass from a broken vase struck an arm and any detectable mark was left or even if not just based on assertion, the charge would be made. I laugh every time I read application of the kidnapping charges, with up to life sentences, for dude A holding a door closed for 3 minutes thereby preventing exit of dude B. The kidnapping statues were not intended for such situations, but in the desperate effort to force that plea bargain, the statues are used. There is no meaningful restraint on charges applied by the DA. Even the sound of the vase breaking could construed as causing physical injury to the "victims" ears. | 0 | not toxic |

Mr. DeCuir - okay, a good point. Allow me to raise some other perspectives:
a) Kung never silenced people; weighed in or judged colleague's works that impacted their careers and good names - so, one difference and stated reason for Weinandy hypocrisy
b) Kung is a well recognized, peer accepted, and acknowledged church theologian - Weinandy pales in comparison. Kung has been in dialogue and has met with various popes and they have discussed theological interpretations (so, not sure your comparison works that well)
c) Kung and Benny were and are colleagues - IMO, Kung's criticisms were more from one colleague to another - version of a theology school debate
d) More difficult to describe but we always face the issue of what is valid, significant, and reasoned criticism and what, in some opinions, is just a version of whining. Weinandy's letter comes across as an ideology - can you say the same about Kung's positions or criticisms? In fact, some of what Kung stated | 0 | not toxic |

If I'm drunk as a skunk sitting on my lawn and the neighbour's off leash pit bull takes a bit out of my leg, the neighbor is legally and morally responsible. Period.
Discrimination against women and intoxicated women is a hold over from the 18th Century days of the British Empire. It's completely undemocratic, unjust and unacceptable.
But women need to join men in demanding the legal system be brought into the 21st Century, because low income men as well are by and large unable to obtain justice in a court of law.
The poor live at the mercy of the rich and powerful. That's medieval.
No lawyer = no justice. No justice and equal justice = no democracy. The justice system is medieval.

One problem --- I can't say "the" problem --- is that the Church stopped leading society several decades ago. It made the decision to follow instead. No Church is perfect, not even the one established by Christ Himself. But no church came closer to reflecting the teachings of Christ.
