Customs (practice) changed over time. And what Bill is suggesting, I think, is that it can change again. | 6 | That is practice, not doctrine.

5,111,512 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | Phrogge, Monica:
I have wondered, on occasion, whether the celibacy rule may have impacted the church in more ways than we realize. When one holds his/her newborn child for the first time, the kid is usually a mess. It's gonna be quite a while before you can have a nice, philosophical discussion with her/him, for example.
Yet that process, going from complete and total dependency, to adulthood, is something that while seeming "normal," is nevertheless truly awesome to witness firsthand.
Nobody will ever convince me that a 3 or 4 year old is fallen, or unclean. That curiosity, that innocence, that curiosity, and the unexpected moments of laughter, wisdom or pain are sublime to the extreme. I have often wondered what church teachings would be like had those setting them lived that experience, had understood the vulnerability, and power, the hope and insight that these children offer.
This isn't just about the scandal: there's so much more that Jesus loved, but the church missed. | 4 | Monica, insightful as usual. I could never really buy the idea that human nature is fallen, unclean, unworthy, etc. We believe we are all created in the image and likeness of God, so how can we be fallen, etc? IMHO a lot of what the church system has smacks of the roman empire. Having crawled through the mud and rocks a few times with "fallen", "unworthy", "unclean" folks (we were definitely unclean/dirty), it was clear there is nothing special about me just because I am a priest. If their spiritual condition matched their physical one, they are in a good place. So much of ordination is about power, especially the "power to change the bread and wine". But this happens only in the setting of folks gathered together as Jesus said, and the priest is only the "leader", not the one who makes things happen. It is not magic, and there are no magic words. Many good folks would keep the priest on their pedestals. Don't think this is a good thing, but it is hard to do away with. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0] | [45491654, 45596860, 45447087, 45313149, 45593869] |

Thanks for the reference, Sarasi. Hind Kabawat is identified by pronouns as both male and female in the opening blurb. What is the prescribed protocol for dealing with that?
Kabawat, best I can make out, figures that the best future for Syrian Christians would be in the democracy that presumably the moderate rebels will establish once Assad and ISIS (and other extremist groups) have been defeated. Yeah, I think that is what most of people in the West would like to see, a stable democracy in Syria..and Iraq..and everywhere.
But were we Syrian Christians, I'm not so sure buying into the rebel cause is the best option for survival. Let's assume the moderates win (tough proposition with Russian on Assad's side, and willing to be as ruthless as their client), but then what?
When we try to export democracy, and folks elsewhere listen to our message, the take home is that democracy requires free speech, a free press, free and fair elections that are accepted by all. | 4 | Hind Kabawat's view.

5,112,680 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | The marines stopped at the Yalu, and at that point MacArthur had defeated the North Korean army. But the Chinese Liberation Army, far more numerous than the UN forces, launched a somewhat sneak attack on the UN forces, and the marines had to walk back in the middle of winter. MacArthur then wanted to drop nukes on China, but Truman wouldn't let him, as this would have led to a wider war with unpredictable consequences, but likely dragging in the USSR, which supplied arms to the Chinese and the North Koreans. Most notably T-34 tanks and MIG fighters with swept-back wings, which the USAF didn't have until later in the war. Some of the MIGs were flown by Russian pilots. Subsequently the UN forces were forced to retreat and North Korea was reestablished as a communist state, with Chinese support. So, the US was not in a position to cross into China, short of nuclear war.
The stalemate continues and isn't going to end anytime soon, while the Chinese military gets stronger by the day. | 4 | It’s hard to know whether Prof Tiberghien is saying that this was a true success or just that it went better than he had feared. His statement that “The announced U.S.-China clash has somewhat receded” leaves me wondering.
Re North Korea, I see another poster arguing that China feels that it needs it as a buffer to US forces in South Korea. If the USA wasn’t willing to cross the frontier of China during the Korean War, when it was hugely more powerful than China, it would take a true paranoid to see it wishing to do so in future. If China is really worried about an attack, North Korea is the bigger threat. From the start of the North Korean regime in the late 40s, it ruling dynasty has tended to treat its allies with almost as much contempt as its enemies, and we should not rule out the possibility that its recent missile tests are being conducted as much or more to intimidate China as any other country. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45498710, 45456658, 45588938, 45188628, 45599480] |

Largely agree with Mark Shore.

85% of us live in urban areas. You may not think that money spent on urban infrastructure - e.g., subways in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver benefits you, but it certainly does, even if you never ride the subway.
.
That expenditure is removing obstacles to labour mobility, and is reducing transaction costs. That is what improvements in productivity are made of, and it makes our economy stronger, which benefits all Canadians.
.
Encouraging the use of electric vehicles now has large positive externalities. Kicking the fossil fuel habit would benefit our economy enormously.
.
Use of internal combustion engines in rural areas will be with us for a long time to come, because that is what makes sense.

5,114,066 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | I myself, have yet to figure out the pricing disparity between pharmacies for the same drug. Then you have the huge price difference between tablet vs capsule on some, and then the reverse. It makes no sense at times. Then you get insurance involved and it gets even stranger.
This article siting the drug's wholesale cost vs it's street value is irrelevant in my opinion. It's no different then saying "the suggested list price is $1000.00 but today only, we are selling it for $19.95. The loss to the pharmacy is what they paid for it as they are not selling it on the street. Don't get me wrong, what he did was an end to his career and I hope whatever motivated him to do it he will get help for. I can't imagine jeopardizing a high paying career such as his for a few drugs.
Back to the cost of prescription drugs. I take one that 60 tablets sells for $1299.00 for a months worth. Insurance contract price is somewhere around $250.00. Cash price at Costco I'm told would be $60. | 4 | So true... I have been a buyer for narcotics and other medications for a pharmacy I worked at. Blew my mind what the true cost of medications are. Capitalism is the worst disease in America and potentially one of the most deadly. A bottle of 100 IR Oxycodone costs the pharmacy about $2.50, uninsured customer needs to fill a monthly script for thier medication they take four times a day and those 120 pills which were $3.00 at wholesale cost that patient around $140.00. I can understand a base dispensing fee of say $15-$20 for the time and materials used to fill the Rx on top of the wholesale cost but not price gouging like that.

The originalist's critique is that you don't want un-elected, life-tenured judges making new law. Anytime I hear a liberal friend make the case that they want a 'living' Constitution (as advocated by Posner in the 7th Circuit), I ask them whether they would want that latitude extended to a majority conservative court. Such a court is a distinct possibility now (forget Gorsuch, talking about Kennedy or RBG replaced).

I know Cultus Lake operates under a different format and has paid parking - maybe something to do with the proximity of parking to the residential area. And if you have an extra vehicle in your site, you have to pay a fee to park it elsewhere, which I guess encompasses the overnight category.
The BC Liberals inaction on welfare and disability payments is inexcusable. Their rationale on welfare may be interpreted as "pay more and they will come" (and plays to some voters), but how they treat the disabled in this Province, most of whom do not have the ability to work even if they wanted to, is just sad.

So no, CU wasn't activism, rather it enforced a long-established precedent with the message that if the country wants that to change, it needs to go through the appropriate legislative process to do so (which still hasn't happened, BTW).
An opposite ruling on CU would have cast over a hundred years' worth of seemingly unrelated settled law into question because the core principle of 14A coverage would have been fundamentally altered.

It is a serious problem for the church. Rules are about drawing lines. Jesus was about something else. St. Augustine put it concisely: "love God and do what you will." The value of the pastoral focus of Pope Francis -- and he is not touching the rules -- is that it gets in touch with the real lives of people and turns the church toward a different way of teaching. Instead of teaching rules, teach getting in touch with the God who loves us.
If indissolubility is taken as a rule rather than an exhortation, there are too many palpable injustices in the real lives of real people. That's the way rules are, which is why ascribing this as a rule of Jesus is idolatry. | 4 | cont'd
You say: "To see Jesus with only one eye, as a rule giver, without seeing that 'love of God and neighbor' are the font and measure of every rule, is to run into the ditch of idolatry." But Jesus clearly WAS a rule-giver. It is illogical to say that because we recognize that, we think of Jesus "with only one eye, as a rule giver." Your logic fails again. So, incidentally, does your faith; but that's totally up to you.
If to follow the God-given rule against divorce is to see Jesus solely as rule giver, which is wrong, then by your logic, Jesus did wrong by giving us the rule in the first place. LOL. You do make sense, though, if you deny that Jesus was God, or that he said what is shown in Scripture on the point. But so far you haven't denied either.

Trucks will certainly find more work delivering to storage areas and transferring DOT LNG stands (or gas-liquids products) to accessible towns (road and river),.. that will certainly happen.
I was referring to distance-sensitive rates, sir. You can` charge buyers at the near end of the gasline the higher cost charged at the far end. Obviously because it cost more to ship the LNG to Nikiski, or to Japan on an LNG carrier.., than it does to Deadhorse or Fairbanks. If it`s not economical it won`t go. That`s always been evident.

Nope, if the pipeline was built, the instate price of natural gas from the pipeline would be based on the competitive cost of trucking LNG to the location. This would be no different than what we pay for locally produced gasoline from Nikiski where the price we pay is based on what it costs to barge gasoline to Alaska from a West coast refiner.
What would make you believe that having the State of Alaska go in debt building a pipeline will yield a net savings for natural gas?

"The primary shortcoming of U.S. policymakers since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has been a consistent inability to translate tactical and operational military successes into sustainable strategic political outcomes. This was objectively true for both former U.S. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama as evidenced by the long and tragic history of the continued conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq that has yielded wholly unsatisfying strategic outcomes. It remains to be seen if President Donald Trump and his senior officials can successfully reverse this trend. Doing so will require a long-term strategy that first establishes realistic and attainable objectives and then skillfully marshals all instruments of national power—military and non-military alike—to accomplish those goals."

5,131,281 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | Good post. Can't fathom a "noted Indigenous" person actually believing this.
I've done a far amount of reading about the fur trade (Eastern Canada/US; west coast, Fort Vancouver to Fort George) and the trade in what is now Alberta, too. I'd sure like evidence of how FN people "dominated the relationship." If they entered into a relationship with Northwest Company, HBC or American independents, there was only ONE dominant partner: the one who used/controlled the liquor (which was introduced at the beginning, back in the 1600s.)
In Canada, I know of only one FN people who "controlled" the situation: B.C.'s Tsilhqot'in people. In the 1820s, they agreed to trade, but decided they needed their furs to keep warm in the winter, so never traded them! Worse, they actually AVOIDED two recently-established HBC posts in their territory (on the west side of the Fraser River) and just...never came in.
Result: HBC man Donald McLean was forced to close up the posts! | 4 | “Indigenous peoples dominated the relationship and controlled the terms of the relationship,” we are assured by no less than Hayden King, a noted Indigenous public intellectual.
Um, sorry Mr. King. Aboriginals were routinely ripped off by fur traders. Weights used to measure gun powder were loaded and sometimes near-dysfunctional rifles were given. Aboriginals themselves were sometimes taken advantage of with credit, not unlike in today's loan market, to create bondage to a particular fur trading station. Brandy itself which was sometimes traded for furs led to poor health conditions within tribes.
At the same time, aboriginals, who controlled the means of obtaining furs from the wild, could trade with another station or company if they suspected mistreated by one trading station.
Seeing that seriously biased voices like King's were solicited by the CBC for advice, the untruthfulness of The Story of Us should come as no surprise. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45588938, 45498710, 45541171, 45256208, 45388025] |

The first Metis were born in the mid-18th century, typically to a European father and an aboriginal mother. That is about 10 generations ago. How many of the current Metis would be able to trace all sides of their family trees back 10 generations to show that every one of those ancestors was a pure Metis? What if 75% of their ancestors were European - are they still Metis?
