There is no objective standard for music. It's a matter of personal taste. I have no problem with incorporating different expressions of music into the liturgy, and I believe it's important to preserve the musical heritage of the Church. I'm just not fond of liturgical snobbery, and sometimes the criticisms of traditionalists verge on that.

So, based on the few comments submitted so far, here we see many baby boomers doing what all generations have done... "their music" was better than this "modern new fangled stuff". Broaden your horizons! Drake is a huge talent and deserves this recognition. I might add that Celine's was a simply magnificent rendition. And, being 60 years old myself, it was my favourite performance of the night. But make no mistake, there is a huge amount of fantastic music out there today, and much of it is bypassed by major media. The Indie and Alternative streams are full of great music closer to the stuff of the 60s. So you might want to try some of that... it sometimes fuses hop hop and rap into more melodious sounds, and could serve as a segue to greater appreciation for today's mainstream. Of course, there is a lot of garbage out there too... as there was during the 1960s and 1970s...

My only consolation is that I live in the deep blue state of Massachusetts where Hillary Clinton won with 61 percent of the vote. All of our congress people are democrats and they were all re-elected with big margins. All of our ballot questions results were liberal. I have seen my share of stereotypical Trump supporters, an I am praying they do not infiltrate our state. Cardinal O'Malley and his merry band may have achieved their national goal, but their flock here in MA is not with them politically by a longshot. If abortion rights came to a vote here, in one of the most Catholic states, it would pass. The assisted suicide bill failed a few years ago because it was too broad. I voted for it but I wanted it to be stricter, so I hope the next time it is a referendum that it will be severely restricted to cases where death is imminent within a few weeks.

I have to wonder how many people responding actually hike off trail in the Tongass? There is some acute ignorance on display. Old growth takes over 250 years to replenish and what comes back isn't the same. That means we're not seeing the very first clearcuts replenished yet and wont for a while let alone that cut in the last 50 years! Second growth is choked and no fun to navigate. Old growth is park like and wonderful to travel through. The fact is that there are no timber jobs in the Tongass that rely on clearcutting, aside from exporters. The mills are a joke and a sacred cow myth maintained to allow continued logging (all the companies profits come from exporting raw timber not from milled product sales). The loggers are from the lesser 48. And the roads get built then closed, entirely built with federal dollars. It is all a huge destructive scam

I think it is more precise to say we have an allergy to resource development done traditionally - where the government incentivises multinational companies like crazy with tax and royalty breaks even as myriad social and environmental impacts are isolated from the project as externalities - thereby disenfranchising the locals as it is they who unavoidably pay those costs, generally with limited to non-existent compensation or acknowledgement. It is about time we developed that allergy- we need a better way of doing things and one that includes spreading the wealth and the costs more effectively, not one that continues enriching those who already have more than they need- or in many cases deserve. Even the US electorate has declared support for that- just in case you have not been paying attention.

"Canada’s pension funds, those paragons of risk aversion." ??? Ok maybe there was some truth to that decades ago, but Canada's major public sector pension funds are HARDLY risk-averse in recent years! Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan and Caisse de Depot et Placement in particular have been extremely aggressive in their investments and risk-taking. They have also been reasonable activist-investors for some time, though arguably not quite as much as some of the big private equity funds. However since the private sector equity funds have shown little interest in touching Bombardier with a 10-foot pole it shouldn't be too big of a surprise that it was the public sector pension funds that stepped up to demand change.

While I employed these kids I ran into the dilemma that my 14 and 15 year old kids couldn't cut up a banana for my store's "banana split" product. A simple kitchen knife they had used at home for years was off limits under the law at my ice cream shop. The kids thought it was ridiculous and in a way it was, but how do you write a law that protects kids from having to use a sharp knife to peel potatoes over and over constantly all day at work, where the risk of injury is quite high, and still LET them use a knife in a low risk environment like my little ice cream shop? I had a 15 year old employee that begged me to let him use the little knife, days before he turned 16. I had to say no because it was illegal and a few days later when he turned 16 and could finally use that knife he picked it up and looked at me and said "Oh yeah cause I'm so much safer and mature NOW!"

"The age of consent for sexual activity is 16 years. It was raised from 14 years on May 1, 2008 by the Tackling Violent Crime Act. However, the age of consent is 18 years where the sexual activity "exploits" the young person when it involves prostitution, pornography or occurs in a relationship of authority, trust or dependency" Although it will be argued that his acts were not criminal, and therefore he should be allowed to remain in the Senate, clearly lines were crossed and his judgement and the privilege of sitting in the Senate should both be called into question not only by the public but by his peers. Increasingly we are seeing just how far the ethical and moral boundaries of the privileged and powerful can stretch before breaking.

"...secret donation meetings with ultra-rich Chinese followed by selling out your allies to curry favor with the same people in the sale of hi-tech companies,.." . . A variation of this very topic, and criminal investigations of politicians are top news items in New Zealand and Australia. When will they be fully investigated in Canada? The hemming and hawing as well as the abject inconsistencies and falsehoods surrounding the sale of the high-tech communications company in Vancouver to a Chinese entity that has been stopped from similar purchases in the UK is both shameful, and in need of a criminal investigation.

A fantastic rescue ! This story is interesting because it answers for me why some people climb mountains, placing themselves at great risk. I have always wondered why and what they felt after doing so. I have wondered as well, what people who have had such a close encounter with death think and feel after they survive. It will be interesting to know (a follow up) what Takac will do with his new chance at life. Will he continue to climb ? Will he return to Alaska at some point ? What of his personal life, did he makes changes there ? As a trauma surgeon, he must have saved many lives himself and perhaps it is because of that, that the fates deemed him one who needed to continue live, his work is not over, he can save more lives. Dermit Cole should have found out more about Takac's health insurance because it must be pretty good to pay for a medical escort and flying in Business Class too ! Something that could be included into the Republican's health insurance plan.

I have an original blue ticket, it is stamped accomplished, although it didn't accomplish much. it was mostly used to send anybody that was deemed unsavory or a burden on the community away.

Eugene/Lane County needs a real anti-noise ordinance with teeth. Last year, Cuthbert was astounding loud, so using them as a yardstick isn't the best idea. For every person who complains there are probably ten who were really bothered but didn't complain. Today's super amplifiers can knock birds out of the air at ten miles. Kind of an exaggeration, but not much. And if that ordinance included those cars that have bass that rattle windows, it would be even better. Noise pollution is dangerous, it really is. Alton Baker is a beautiful place, but it is no place for a loud rock venue. There was a concert at Cuthbert last year that had to be experienced to be believed. Standing on the Defazio footbridge one could not only hear the music, one could feel the vibrations in an absolutely scary way. Take loud music out of Alton Baker...it is a sanctuary for animals and people who love peace and quiet. Find some gravel pit out of the city, or wherever. Hugh Massengill, Eugene Oregon
