David, a heartfelt comment, unto which I thank you. That stated. Once support of the homeless is not given unto the homeless, said homeless, chosen, not by necessity, shall move on. And once ALL communities, regarding said chosen homeless, adhere unto the same philosophy, well than, the chosen homeless shall have nearly nowhere to go, and shall have to make a choice. Not an easy choice, mind you, but a choice nonetheless. To either give up their own chosen life style, contribute unto society, or move way the heck back into the woods, away from society, so as to maintain their own lifestyle, though with no access unto whatever substances many of them wish to partake of no longer available unto them, I believe this would be, at least, a hardship unto them. Good. So be it. Now. Unto your last sentence. Showing love and compassion unto the forgotten and shamed. Perhaps the forgotten should remember themselves. Perhaps the shamed should regain their own dignity. Responsibility.

Yes, I do not buy into this "war on Christmas", it seems to me that Christmas celebrations are everywhere...and earlier. If a store wants to say Happy Holidays, then I think that is great, they are wishing everyone a good holiday whether they are Christian or not. I am not a big lover of more stuff, so I have scaled back on that over the years, and hope to have a more quiet Advent by adding more prayer time, more reading of real books, not the internet, and less news. Less is more. As for waiting on the tree...no thank you. I love sitting and looking at the lights, it is very relaxing to me. Happy Holidays everyone...oh and Merry Christmas!

Hello M Clement, Yes, I was in solitary because as a former police officer it was the only place I wouldn't be killed. But that didn't change my experience - if anything it made it more frightening as even before I arrived at the prison the inmates knew I was coming and I was greeted with death and rape threats. As for your question as to whether this behaviour that I observed in solitary occurs throughout the prison... no, certainly not in the group living blocks that are typical. I was able to watch a typical block out my window. Sure, many of the people in solitary are the worst of the worst - violent, deadly, crazy evil. But 24 hour lights on, sleep deprivation, zero stimuli, poor nursing and meds distribution and the constant noise combine with the solitary confinement to push even healthy people over the edge. For a few days for healthy people, solitary is punishment. After that, it is all torture and the trail of human wreckage proves it.

Boeing is profitable and paying Boeing to leave is stupid. Nobody was saving a single job. 9 billion, no strings attached. Less wages and benefits in the new contracts, while still under the old contract. Boeing actually profited by simply threatening jobs. Employees voted against their own interests and gave all the leverage to Boeing in contract negotiations. Just like Drumpf winning the election. People are destructively gullible and dangerously ignorant these days. They want to follow. To be told what to do and how to think. It's a totalitarian point of view. We all went through the Bush collapse of the worlds economy. The banks and folks like Boeing got to socialise their losses to everyone in America. We live in a Kleptocracy on our way to Oligarchy. It's one thing to ignore Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren etc. It's a whole other level of ignorance if you see it, and live it, and still deny it is happening despite reality.

This is absolutely correct. Thank you for seeing through Wente's strange and inaccurate depiction of the university as a safe haven for Marxist radicals. Save a brief blip in the 1960s and 70s, the opposite has been true, as universities--even social science and humanities faculties--have not been kind to Marxists.

interesting take. Though the US did not attack with jets, only with S-S missiles. More like Putin orchestrated the whole debacle, including the Sarin attack, the US missile strike (with russian missile defence 'turned off' as you say) and helps get the 'Russian question' monkey off Trump's back. Meanwhile, their secret alliance continues. Putin still need Assad in power so he can keep expanding Russia's military presence in the region. But Putin is not doing it for Assad's benefit, Assad is his pawn.

Kris Matsumoto Wong correctly reminds us “real patriots believe in free speech for all”, but errs in stating Old Glory is “just a flag”, our National Anthem ”just a song”. Two hundred thirty years ago those who crafted our Constitutional Republic - - here in what was accurately termed “the new world” - - created something brand new in the history of Man: a government not founded on bloody conquest or ruled according to some “divine right of kings”, but a revolutionary concept that a just government derives its legitimate authority from to the consent of the governed. Accordingly we the people are sovereign. We each have a sovereign duty to see that we pass on to our progeny the ability to say “yes” when asked “Does That Star Spangled Banner Yet Wave Over The Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave?” it pays to recall there never before was a United States of America and there will never be another.

More lies from the top. Walker promised he'd curtail salaries of top public officials. First, he kept on those that made inordinately high salaries in his office when he first came on board. He made matters worse and appointed others at a higher salary than the terminated Parnell appointees. For example, his OMB director was brought in at a salary that was $20,000 more than the one leaving. His comm. and leg. directors, among others, pocketed more than their predecessors. Walker, because of the at-will nature of these positions, had the opportunity to put his money where his mouth was and hire people at a step A or B range. Instead, he let an unelected, unpaid, and unofficial man off the street sit in the lt. governor's office to appoint the old democratic guard from the Knowles epoch (Tier 1) at much higher longevity steps than necessary. Then there's those lobbyist's he's hired to do the job that his commissioners and others are supposed to do. Alaska can't afford Walker.
