5,380,294 | [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0] | Time will tell. Many years ago my mother was a fervent fan of Nixon. She constantly defended him, and though he was the most misunderstood person.
I suspect time will reveal that Trump and his team really were in cahoots with the Russians, to profit from the subverting of the democratic process by criminal means. I am sure both of us will be paying attention. We all have an inner spirit, who we are. That is our soul. Not referring to any religions entity. If you don't think one's soul, or spirit, can be destroyed or lost or sold...you are lucky.
Hugh Massengill, Eugene Oregon | 6 | Based on comments here, I didn't think Republicans had souls!
I thought they were actually 'Demons' under your theology and therefore merely part of 'Satan's' staff!
As an agnostic, I am not too concerned about souls, or their sale, but the ignorati might well think you are in touch with either "Satan" or "God" and have some documentation of these transactions.
Do you have some of that documentation? It would be interesting reading!

Second, Do you all know where Turlock, CA is? It's a college town...He was treated like a king there. He is loved and adored; well until all this mishap started.
He could have done a better job of getting the message through. But employers, whether the NFL or anybody else, will not like the negative attention it draws. It makes them look bad.
And its hard to justify racial discrimination when you are drawing $14 Million a year (which the $4000,000 is 3.5 % of his annual salary for one year). For a person making $50,000, that's the equivalent of $1750 charitable giving. which if done for 20 years, not one time, results in $40,000 giving. For someone who $100,000 it's nearly $80,000 giving...and there are thousands of those folks giving every single year... | 4 | One last bit, regarding "doing something about it". From USA Today:
"Why Colin Kaepernick's protests will resonate
Colin Kaepernick’s reasons for ending his national anthem protest are not as important as the reasons he started it. Racism. Discrimination. Police brutality. Economic inequality.
No matter what you thought of Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the national anthem, a protest that quickly spread across the NFL, he got the country talking. And, hopefully, thinking about the issues that more than ever divide us. He emboldened other athletes to act on their beliefs, whether it was in the form of protest or engagement with fans and their communities. He donated money — $400,000 as of January — to small, locally-based organizations trying to make a difference where it’s needed most. He recognized that his status as a marquee player in our most popular sport gave him a unique platform, and he used it to try to make our country better."

How about legalizing drugs so that people don't have to buy them on the street. How about that? Look at the model in other countries that have legalized drugs. They have money to treat their addicts instead of jail them. We need to retool the government's entire stance on drugs.

You're clearly ignoring both relevant history and chronology - you're taking bits and pieces of history from different times and circumstances, making up your own events, and weaving them together to fit your intended conclusion. You're engaging in historical revisionism.

I think culturally in Hawaii for a variety of reasons things like plastic bags, plastic containers, rubber bands etc were historically viewed as valuable commodities to collect and reuse. So from the stand point of the trendy "reduce, reuse, recycle" slogan, local people have reused plastic bags and things other people might consider trash for a variety personal uses.
So because plastic bags already have value to them for local people. then add the recycle component. Imagine if all plastic bags costed the consumer a penny (that went to fund recycling) but then you could take the bags to a recycling center and turn them in for money (3 for a penny) just like cans and bottles. You would have homeless people and other people who use recycling as a means of supplementing income trying to pick up as many plastic bags as possible and cleaning things up.

I can't help but wonder what "let them lead" means. Does it mean we do not investigate how the Russians came to interfere in our election? Do we not investigate this if it involves investigating Trump's involvement or his campaign's involvement because it may interfere in his leading?
Given that it has been established the Russians have interfered in this election, the continuing efforts from the GOP to suppress the vote, the House's 9 investigations of Hillary, when she was cleared from the first investigation and each subsequent one and what the popular vote was, it becomes difficult for me to fully agree that "our President was elected because he was believed to be the best person to lead our country"
Still, I don't want the Dems. to block Trump's ability to lead as the GOP blocked Obama's.

Do you not agree? | 4 | John, I'm just a guy who's trying to raise a family and wants his kids to live in a country that allows them to prosper and do good things. Is Russia hostile? I suppose it depends on what we pay them to not be hostile. Obama paid the Iranians, maybe Trump is paying the Russians. I don't purport to understand it all; I'm not in that arena.
My position is that all this bs has been occurring with our government since it was created.

Maybe it's current paradigm that Mexicans are bad hombres and gang members that do nothing but violence and drugs into the USA with the soul purpose of destroying America? Not sure why I'm seeing all this stuff about Mexican deportation in Hawaii and not the Asian majority of immigrants.

Mr. Zlogar, this may astonish you, but free speech applies to liberals also.
Mocking the president has a long political tradition in this country. Past presidents have been routinely mocked for being drunkards, adulterers, lacking spine, lacking intelligence, and even not being quite human (no, Abraham Lincoln was not hailed by everyone as the greatest president ever during his term).
Numerous presidents were being sworn at simultaneously with being sworn in.
Dissent and mockery are NOT hatred.
And I believe conservatives exercised mockery freely during the eight years before Donald Trump was sworn in as president. I also believe I heard conservatives talking about dissent being patriotic.

1) this figure represents the combined debt of the state, counties and cities combined.
2) the major component of this debt is repayment obligations for bonds used to finance things like roads and schools.
3) another major source is pension obligations for future retirees who are subsidized by new employees.
So my question is: what's the point of your comment? Should we not issue bonds to pay for road and school construction? Should we renig on pension promises to public employees who spent their lives in public service? | 6 | California also has a population of 40 million and debt of $1.2 trillion. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45447087, 45449332, 45491609, 45454484, 45513204] |

Trump golfs more than Obama did, and goes to his distant resorts to do so, making it necessary for the government to pay Trump for rooms and food for staff and Secret Service agents.

"Study findings at age 27 as reported in these chapters indicate that the preschool participants have significantly higher earnings, rates of home ownership, and levels of schooling, as well as significantly fewer arrests and social service interventions, than a control group of non-preschool participants. Cost-benefit analysis revealed that, over the lifetimes of the participants, the preschool program returned to the public an estimated $7.16 for every dollar spent." | 6 | I think the problem will be that instantaneous results will be expected and state workers will not be willing to change. Hopefully she will be able to bring them on board but I would be pleasantly surprised if she is able to. I just remember the problems my wife had in working with the bureaucracy at the UH. Not easy.

The cause has nothing to do whatsoever with the secular view that "pain is evil" and it must be dashed away with chemicals from the first moment.
We are intolerant to pain. We're soft.

What is that sweeping generalization based on?
Ms. Cormier presents an 'ugly' representation of English citizens living in London currently, as well as those living 70+ years ago...
The couched vitriol portrayed in this article certainly explains why she likely did not write this article for the consumption of 'English' newspapers.
Cormier's representation of London is loaded with 'sly put-down' once one cuts through the derisive dichotomous doublespeak.
. . . and quite honestly, calling Canada home is nothing to "grumble" about. | 10 | Wow! What a bunch of killjoys in the comments section!
I've known several young Canadians who have settled in London. All of them are enthralled with it. And I know lots of older Canadians who have visited and are equally enthralled. But these are the energetic achievers who are not afraid to go out and experience life in other parts of the world.
The rest just stay at home and grumble in the Globe and Mail.
I enjoyed the article. If I was young again I'd be in London too. | [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45525557, 45631697, 45389857, 45598430, 45579457] |

If I cannot support my family by working, I move. Plain and simple. | 5 | Well what's a legislator to do Shannyn? They have to have some drama to fire up the base, be that off center left or off center right. Not to mention the vast majority of legislators that seem to have nothing to do unless on a select few special committees. I've suggested in the past that they push a broom and swing a mop down those lonely legislative halls until something else for them to do pops up, to no avail. Funny how most legislators can't answer the phone in their office, having nothing else to do.
I've commented a few times on ADN and boy, was I misinformed about the real facts! Like an income tax discourages people from working so I guess you are discouraged about that nasty federal income tax?
Or only "WORKING PEOPLE" contribute anything in this great state of ours (must get a paycheck or it doesn't count).
