Actually, pretty much everyone know, except for you I guess. And that's amazing, that in 2017, with the ENTIRE BODY of human knowledge and information available to you at your fingertips, you really don't know what it's about.

So far, no one ( including the DP ) knows why these millionaire football players are protesting.

...except of course, in Clinton's case, ….there's no there there.

Hillary Rodham Clinton set up a private e-mail server and sent/received over 100 confidential e-mails - a criminal act she should be prosecuted for. As far as we know, Jared Kushner has not sent or received any confidential e-mails.

OK, we'll disagree about this. NB I'm not targeting Zille/DA specifically - last time I mentioned similar trips by all politicians except for UN, G20, Davos, etc relating to international treaties and diplomacy. But cities and provinces have little to no bearing on international trade - it and diplomacy is a national competence. Come on, Geoff! It's hypocritical how DA supporters who accuse the ANC's of overlooking similar sins and misdemeanors suddenly overlook the DA's problems. Politicians call these 'fact-finding' trips - what facts are needed we don't already know? The issues Zille writes about CANNOT change in SA under the current regime and their backward, ideological policies and politics. So why the trips to Vietnam, Ghana, etc? Eh? To sign deals that Wesgro, as the mandated agency, is perfectly capable of doing on its own - the taxpayer is already paying their huge salaries. No, I think Zille is using these trips for topics for her columns, like travel writers do.

Xanthea Limberg is a 30 year old with no experience outside politics and to put her in charge of water etc is scary. She is though slavishly loyal to De Lille and that matters to De Lille! Zille, not my favourite person either, has a good track record and experience. What Laws has her administration violated... surely not those tablets loaned to her son for teaching in Khayelitsha or the birthday cake? Your argument about politicians travelling overseas would apply to most the world over...not a good argument! .... and a pretty cheap shot to suggest Zille and others went there for personal tourism.

So in the name of stamping out racial injustice, each NFL team should have no more than 7 black players (to accurately mirror the US population).

Poor triggered snowflakes, can't handle if if anyone stands up against racial injustice. Tonight the Cowboys, players, coaches, and owner, locked arms and kneeled BEFORE the national anthem was played, then they stood during the anthem. They did not disrespect the flag, they made a statement for unity and racial equality, AND THEY RECEIVED A CHORUS OF BOOS. That tells you all you need to know about the people booing and expressing their fake outrage at disrespect of the flag. It's not really about the flag, it's about race and their unwillingness to accept a protest for equality. They are just using the flag, hiding behind it, to cover their racism.

Obviously, to most of us, they are millionaires and their current neighborhood(s) probably don't need much clean up. If you associate and assign neighborhoods by color and further assume all people of every color are responsible for all actions by all people of the same color, then maybe not obvious. Credible references to black millionaires robbing 7-11s might bolster your screed.

No, you're wrong! It's about the phrases 'racial inequality' and 'black millionaires' being used in the same sentence. It's about me being accused of using white privilege. But some of my money goes to the black millionaire crybabies? Not anymore... Seems like my white privilege missed me somehow. Respect has to be earned, otherwise it's lost. Want respect? Start by cleaning up your neighborhoods, educating your kids and keeping your family's together. Stop robbing 7/11's. Otherwise??? Bring it on...

The argument is not that they don't pay enough tax it's that they should pay more in relation to their income that those who earn less. This was first posited by Adam Smith the founder of modern economics. What the article omits is more telling; that is, the difference between income and taxable income which is a far different thing. The farther up the income scale you are the greater the opportunity to defer or avoid taxation.

"There is no argument that those REPORTING say $250,000 income pay enough tax. " The first bill JT passed was to raise the tax paid by those reporting $250 000 incomes because he claimed they didn't pay enough tax. OntarioFirst1, Moosep, and Deniscasaccio all prove their IS an argument, if only because they use false data to justify their positions. So the editorial is very logical

And yet you still missed the point. Those athletes are aware of the stats. They also know that blacks that kill other blacks tend to end up in jail. Rogue cops don't. See the difference? Secondly, has Von MIller advocated violence being committed on those that are different? Has Kaepernick? Feel free to show us where either person, or Brandon Marshall, has done so. Yes....that's how far off you are to understanding the point.

Excellent Post. BLM and other left wingers don't want to hear the facts. They just want to commit violence on those that are different than them. Their diversity only goes as far as those that agree with them. What does that sound like? Old time Nazi fascist's.

I hate trump. However, Obama alienated the entire middle america class of white voters. You may not like Trump but to think he created this division is nuts. He is definitely increasing the division but he did not create it. He was elected because of the division created by Obama.

Kimmel . . . football players . . . How many more people can Trump alienate before the Republicans - in a panic - really start to distance themselves from him? All but the most blind - surely - have long ago stopped drinking the Trumpian Koolaid, and see him for the lying, self-absorbed, insecure child that he is. Let's hope he goes before his braggadocio plunges the world into a nuclear catastrophe.

Denver fans that support the protest and the NFL players are perfect for each other. They both hate the USA.

Good riddance to these fair-weather fans who don't have a clue what America stands for: "One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Happy to take their season tickets as they're "offended" over NFL players kneeling to the National Anthem. These are also the same folks who support waving the Confederate flag. Hate doesn't unite!

Use a dictionary occasionally before embarrassing yourself. The word has passed into English as a metaphor.

Wow Richard Parker, you just called the players of the NFL slaves, brain damaged slaves at that. “As fights were usually to the death, gladiators had a short life expectancy and so, although it was in some respects a glamorous profession, the majority of fighters were slaves, former slaves or condemned prisoners.

Imagine if marijuana were legalized nationwide. It's a thriving business because distribution is limited in our neighboring states while demand is strong. Otherwise these guys wouldn't be in business.

I am SHOCKED to learn that illicit production and distribution of marijuana is still going on. Wasn't that one of the reasons why Colorado legalized Marijuana, to eliminate illegal grows and distribution? I am really (not) surprised that legalization proponents were wrong on this. Heck, throw in our new transient population of unemployed street dwellers who came here to smoke weed exclusively and Colorado is really headed in the right direction!

Not quite true. If half the benefit goes to the top 5% of income earners it doesn't necessarily mean the other 50% is evenly spread across the other 95%. It could be spread over the slightly lower 5% so, still not reach "the middle class". "Scheme " is not necessarily negative and accurately describes what an accountant/tax lawyer figures out for a specific case to save taxes. I don't understand your comment about "the people in question already have a corporation set up, so what is the cost of income splitting?"The cost of income splitting falls on the rest of the public who either have to make up the shortfall in tax revenue or suffer a loss in services. I agree it is important to know where the data came from but this is the first time I have seen anyone ask this question. Where did the data supporting the hysterical death of small business scenarios painted by the business lobby come from?

There is accuracy and there is spin. Here are two such things in the article: ... about half the benefit goes to the top 5% of income earners. Another way to say this is that over 50% of the of the benefit goes to the bottom 95% of income earners. "It is hypothetically possible this [change] could affect a middle-class family, but in the real world it's very unlikely," Mr. Macdonald said. In the real world, one person making $70k/year pays over $2k more in taxes than two people making $35k/yr. His research suggests 77 per cent of small-business owners do not benefit from the tax break, while another 10 per cent wouldn't gain enough to offset the cost of setting up the scheme. First, scheme is a very negative word, and the people in question already have a corporation set up, so what is the "cost" of income splitting. Finally, where does the data come from. Is it all 2 million tax returns of CPC's or is it a sample or is it from census data. This matters a great deal.

The NFL will bounce back. Games will be watched because its a gambling league and the gamblers cannot give up watching that

Fact is that the NBA audience is more left wing and the NFL audience is more right wing. The NFL ratings and attendance is going to suffer greatly from this. Many of these people would be sympathetic to their sports idols raising awareness of issues such as Police brutality but instead they've been driven away because the way the players did it was disrespectful of the flag and country they hold so dear. For many, respecting the flag seems to be a rare unifying aspect to modern American culture.

I think those in the legal profession would highlight and focus on the "should" portion of the statute. "Should" and "shall" are very powerful words in legal documents. I interpret that statute to be sort of a guideline for how to behave during the anthem. It certainly does not prohibit any other actions during the anthem. Interesting, nonetheless.

Here ya go, Ty: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/36/301 "...(b)Conduct During Playing.—During a rendition of the national anthem—..." "...(C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; ..." I was surprised.

While I believe there is considerable unjustified suspicion directed towards minorities and as a WASP I don't have that problem, I don't believe the risk of being killed or physically abused is significantly higher and believe that is born out statistically (though even one is a tragedy). Let's play/watch football and treat each incident as that incident warrants prosecuting anyone of any occupation who abuses or kills anyone.

I agree. Problem is that we're not all so privileged that we get to ignore or even rationalize social injustice. Many of those black players have very real and legitimate concerns that, among many other things, their sons or brothers or cousins might actually get abused or even killed by an overzealous cop.

For the tolerant left the only thing tolerable is their narrow stilted view.

I thought that the First Amendment applied to all - even "Supporters of statues of Confederate traitors". Or is there a double standard? That was a rhetorical question. Of course there is a double standard. It is OK to violently resist Nazi's peacefully exercising their First Amendment Rights. Or people flying the Confederate Flag.

IT absolutely applies. You seem to have your panties in a wad that people are turning the channel, calling them "despicable" and all that. Nobody has said that people don't have the right to be a-holes and steal the 3-minutes we devote to honoring our soldiers, their families, our Nation and our flag in order to hijack it for their own cause and to bring attention to themselves, rather than the folks we are honoring. People are only saying that they too, have the right to express their opinions and to choose less offensive entertainment. Pretty simple really, and it calls into question the motivations of those that try to dishonestly conflate this into an FA issue. Remember, the right to speech does not equal the right to be heard.

"he supports their right to protest..........he supports the right s of their employers to fire them" . Wrong, as President of the United States he called them SOBs and advocated they be suspended or fired. That is NOT supporting their right to protest. . " I wish this comment section was more advanced, I would draw you pictures." . Ah, don't lower yourself to the same level as "the barking dog", you see how well that's working out for him as he has zero credibility left with the majority of Americans.

he supports their right to protest..........he supports the right s of their employers to fire them. Not a contradiction at all. I have fifty employees . Support their to right protest. I do not support their right to protest at work on my dime. If they do they will be fired. see how it works. I wish this comment section was more advanced, I would draw you pictures.

You"re right, YOU are racist, and a phony patriot. Better burn your flag ,the sooner the better.

Do a little experiment; go into your office tomorrow and offend 50% of your customers in some way. Urinate on a cross, spit on a baby, anything comparable to sitting for the anthem. Then tell me how quickly you get fired. It's racist not to fire these players as any working class person would be fired in a second but we are creating a double standard based on ethnicity.

Trump did not say fire black athletes....he said fire the sobs who refuse to stand for the national anthem. If many of them happen to be black it's not him being a racist.

If Trump opposed racism, he would hardly be calling for the firing of black athletes who take a small symbolic step to protest racial violence against people of colour. Even you have to say the careful sentence: "Trump says he opposes racism." He's the one who has escalated this. I don't know if he himself is racist; he's primarily in favour of anything that he thinks helps Donald J. Trump.

Are you kidding me! The biggest college fraud in NCAA history and you can't figure out what the criminal act is based on what you read. Or, maybe you did not read it.

Not sure what the criminal act is. If this investigation started in 2015 as the article says and this is all the Feds came up with, I want my taxpayer money back. No wonder that kealoha investigation is taking so long. They still got nothing I guess. Oh well back to the crazy Trump and Kim show.

Melania is the FLOTUS. Hillary is a retired/failed politician. Both are seriously out of touch. You ALWAYS bring up Hillary in every post. It just seems pathetic to not let her go.

She lost because she is seriously out of touch with normal Americans. Your obsession with Melania is creepy.

Public housing and subsidized housing tend to create a bit of stratification. Those who are able to get into subsidized housing pay lower rent than they otherwise would, but those who cannot get into subsidized housing pay higher rent then they otherwise would (by virtue of the subsidized housing "squeezing" supply). This is a big problem for those who are "not quite dirt-poor". As soon as they earn a bit more suddenly they find they not only have to pay more in taxes but they also see their benefits, such as subsidized housing, taken away from them. Depending on the structure of the system it can create a real barrier for people trying to work their way out of poverty, particularly when combined with all the other means-tested government programs that get clawed back. Some people can actually find that they are worse off by earning more.

Rent Control doesn't' work. Supply and demand does. Public Housing is a failure.

Sure. That is why America sets up in Mexico to build cars paying $2.00 an hour.

So if the tax rate gets lowered on businesses, then they can afford to pay a living wage and offer benefits, right?

Same goes for the Richter scale, light intensity, and pH of solutions. Always found the log scale fascinating.

Totally a tangent here, but I wanted to point out that decibels are a log scale unit, so 100 decibels is a jackhammer, while 60 decibels is an air conditioner at 100 feet.

Did that study happen to mention that in years when corporations lose money, they owe no tax, and can carry those losses forward to offset future profits, which is why that average is only 21.2%. ALL PROFITS ARE TAXED AT 35%, federal only. This does not count local and state corporate income taxes, nor our excessive regulatory compliance costs that are by far the highest in the world and are an 11% drain on GDP, costing our economy over $2 Trillion per year, more than all income taxes combined. Between taxes and regulations, this is the most expensive country to do business in worldwide. Which is why we see outsourcing and thousands of companies leaving this country entirely. If you want wages to rise, you have to be more friendly to business to increase the demand for labor, with lower taxes and less regulation to be competitive with our global competitors. Money will always seek it's best return. If it can't find it here, it will go somewhere else.

They also had it right when they allowed for the constitution to be amended. As for taxes? Here's what one study says: "As a group, the 258 corporations paid an effective federal income tax rate of 21.2 percent over the eight-year period, slightly over half the statutory 35 percent tax rate. Eighteen of the corporations, including General Electric, International Paper, Priceline.com and PG&E, paid no federal income tax at all over the eight-year period. A fifth of the corporations (48) paid an effective tax rate of less than 10 percent over that period. Of those corporations in our sample with significant offshore profits, more than half paid higher corporate tax rates to foreign governments where they operate than they paid in the United States on their U.S. profits." and The richest 1% pay an effective federal income tax rate of 24.7% in 2014; someone making an average of $75,000 is paying a 19.7% rate.

The Muni won't even maintain the parks that they already have. The pocket park next to the bus stop on the corner of Spenard and Northwood is a mess. It smells like a toilet, is covered with litter and graffiti, there's bird vetch growing everywhere and hasn't seen a lick of even basic maintenance in years. If you're a tourist in Spenard, this is likely the first park you will come across if you were to go on a walkabout of the neighborhood. It's absolutely disgusting. All of the nice accoutrements that were added to Spenard in the 90's are in disrepair and either need to be maintained or removed. The work done on Northwood just a couple of years ago is also slowly creeping into disrepair with yet more bird vetch overtaking the vegetation that was bought and paid for by the city.

We can't afford this. Period. Maybe on down the road. I'm tired of seeing money being spent on road construction and projects like this that aren't critically needed.

Pull your head out, Sparky. Republicans have been in majority control of our Legislature for the past 40 years. They gave away Alaska's oil wealth to their buddies, Big Oil, who have kept their Party campaign coffers full. And there's plenty of room to blame so-called non-partisans and independents who have kept Republicans in control.

We've all pitched in, Les to the tune of around $4,000 for every man, woman and child over the last 3 years thanks to you, your governor, and the democrats in his administration. Most of the 13,500 jobs that have walked out of state did so because you and your fellow democrats chose to declare war against the only industry up here that is carrying the freight. And you chose to do so during a worldwide glut of cheap oil and natural gas. Rather than screw around with economic illiterates, the producers took their investment and jobs elsewhere. Good luck getting them back. Here's some Les Gara math: Using your (bogus) claim that each additional $100 million cut loses 1,000 - 1,500 jobs, now that we are down 13,500 jobs, where is the additional $1 billion budget cut? It doesn't exist because your majority increased spending in an attempt to spend our way to prosperity. Hint: It won't work. Cheers -

They only did that because the Feds were not living up to their obligations. Now we have a president that wants to live up to his obligations and to have the states and the feds live up to the obligations that both are supposed to. In other words, have states take over responsibilities that they should have been taken care and to have feds dump their over reaches.

They sure didn't feel that way when ARIZONA started to defend their own borders

"We need a housing strategy." Yes, we do. But it needs to be a sound strategy that isn't done in contradiction of basic economic principles. Rent controls do not cure the problem....they make it worse.

Every single large city in BC is now deemed unaffordable for those on an average working income. That includes all of the cities that comprise metro Vancouver - with only farflung Chilliwack to the east being rated affordable. Mountains and ocean and the border mean there is no farther area to live in and commute. The price contagion has spread to the Island and the Okanagan in the interior of the province. The commodification of housing continues, with entire projects marketed and sold overseas. Sold...and in most cases...left empty. In my city, Richmond, almost fifty percent of downtown condos are sold and empty. We need a housing strategy.

meGT you are wrong. Farmers are not exempt from minimum wage laws. Farmers go to the bother and expense of bringing in SAWP workers because they need a work force that they can count on to show up for work everyday.

Farm workers are exempt from minimum wage laws and you can be sure that it isn't because they make more. Why do you think that farmers go to the bother and expense to haul all these workers up from Honduras and the like?

Thanks for your service. Fellow vet here who agrees. With those freedoms of the Constitution we stood up for is also the freedom of private institutions to write their own policy. So, whether I agree or disagree with their position, I respect it since it's their right. Thanks again.

Here is the problem, Jeff Hunt. I actually AM a veteran, and I don't agree with you that their protests "portray disrespect towards our country". In fact, it is exactly the opposite. It's a shame so many are so closed minded, and can't see that. And again, this is coming from a veteran. Would I stand for the national anthem? Yes. Do I expect them to? Absolutely not, if they felt compelled not to. What WE in my tank unit fought for was the right for each American to make those choices on their own. That is freedom of speech. That's what it means to be an American. Anyone who can't get on board with that, and thinks they should decide how others peacefully protest, simply fails to understand what it means to be American. And, for the record, I am white since I know some idiots will care about that. ;)

Ok let me get this straight rob. After selling rent for the last decade those of us who bought 8-15 years ago who are mortgage free now do not have a convertible asset to sell to fund other aspects of our retrenment.? Granted folks say the casino is fully valued so in the end do nothing? Or their is no corelation between a long steep housing collection and a stock market correction?

Great, another lying, bigoted, self-righteous loony chosen by the same types of people in Alabama. We can only hope sanity will prevail and that Moore will lose his senate race.

Roy Moore is a birther, said Obama was a Muslim, was kicked out of the Supreme Court of Alabama...twice!. He called the first nation people of the United States "reds" and Asian-Americans "yellows" and believes Homosexuality should be against the law. He also claims that 9-11 was to punish Americans for our deviant ways (and was foretold in the bible). In other words, he is perfect for the fine folks of Alabama. (With all due respect to those Alabamans who can't stand the guy and know him well).

And paying property tax, maintenance costs, condo fees, mortgage interest, insurance, etc is helping you fund your retirement?

So Mr. Carrick, not paying rent doesn't count as funding your retirement? It is a very good first step that a lot of people never reach and have to pay rent each and every month. That alone will put a considerable dent into whatever retirement budget you have.

If the Aala can't handle competition they should stay in the condo. And how do you propose trapping hawks? I give them a couple weeks at most, as soon as they start making the crow call, the predators will be coming like it was a dinner bell.

It is not mentioned in the story but for the survival of the Alala, hope the DNLR and handlers would have completely removed via trapping or whatever all rats, cats, mongoose, hawks and any other possible animals that could possibly harm the Alala in their wild habitat. The Alala do not need ANY competition, predator or threats in the wild until they can establish themselves. The handlers cans till teach adversive training for the birds however, there should not be any such predators/ threats in their main habitat. Continous culling of unwanted animals is the only way they can ever hope to re-establish the Alala in the wild.

According to the HART website, there are going to be only 4 stations with parking. I believe they are Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Aloha Stadium and Ala Moana.

Exactly one of the biggest issues left unanswered by the city/HART, where will people park and get on the train? There isn't any parking lots planned and if you think Ala Moana is going to give up precious revenue producing parking for the few people going West, you are dumber than Crooked Kirk taking a math and ethics test. Big difference BART serves over 8 million people of which many fight stifling traffic that makes the H-1 look like the Indy 500, plus draconian parking rates in SF and that's without parents dropping kids off to private schools, most of them all located near downtown Honolulu. Good luck getting anyone other than bus riders, who will be forced into the train to actually ride it.

The question is whether Christ is present or not in the Sacrament for all but whether or not a sin of sacrilege is committed when one presents one's self for Communion when not being properly disposed. See 1 Cor 11:29, which is still something Catholics believe even though this verse has (inexplicably) been omitted from the lectionary.

Okay, here are a couple of my qualifications. I was prescribed medication for high blood pressure by a doctor in Alberta about 20 years ago. He said I would have to take it for the rest of my life. Just prior to that he had prescribed a nasal spray for a sinus infection. When I read the information about the sinus medication, it said it raised blood pressure. When I stopped taking the medication, my blood pressure returned to normal, and never was high again. Second example. My elderly mother in a care center was prescribed sleeping pills by a B.C. doctor, although she never had trouble sleeping, and had never asked for them. She was told they were necessary. When she found out they were sleeping pills, she refused to take them. No problem sleeping. Third example... I think you get the idea. But I have several more just in my family and circle of friends. Yeah, some unethical doctors do take kickbacks.

Personally, eh? And what are your qualifications to determine whether a medication is unnecessary or not? Doctors DO NOT receive "kickbacks" for prescribing medications...

You don't gain tax revenue by raising tax rates. You gain tax revenue by growing the economy.

Economics of the tax changes aside, how is he (and the GOP) planning to pay for the big increased in military spending, promised infrastructure spending, and oh yeah, that big beautiful wall with less money and not have the deficit skyrocket? Pie in the sky projections about how the economy will grow? There is a parable about chickens, eggs and counting that would seem to apply.

Say what? I think you need to go back and read my post again. But I'll repeat it more concisely here. I said that the criticism leveled at Trump has to do with WHAT he so often says, not with his right to say it. Period.

So Trump has a "right to speak"---but only if he says what you want spoken and only in the manner you choose! Right! That's just what Freedom of Speech means to me!

It's 82% of white homicides committed by other whites, not 90%. But here's the difference. Blacks are only 17% of the population; whites are about 64%. The number of homicides in the two groups pretty close to the same - whites' are higher, but not by a lot -- which means blacks are killing their own about five times more often than whites as a percentage of population. Which makes it a significantly bigger problem for blacks. It has a lot to do with drug dealing and gang activity. Most of the victims are criminals themselves.

Whites are victims of homicide committed by other whites 90% of the time. A person is more likely to be killed by a person they know, than by a stranger. So I would imagine black people know more black people than they due white people, and the same could be said for white people. So protesting Black on black crime is no more necessary than protesting white on white crime. And police officers are killed more often by white assailants than by any other race.

Well, he and Trudeau were best buds at McGill and Justin tends to favour hiring only those whom he already knows so it is not surprising that he might hire Butts. As well, Butts has relevant experience as a former chief of staff to then Ontario premier McGuinty (awful experience in my opinion but undoubtedly impressive experience in Trudeau's opinion) and, more importantly, career long Liberal loyalties. And inasmuch as he and Trudeau are both in their mid 40s, I doubt if he is considered to be too young by Trudeau and his other handlers. The only two people still living who meet your description are Harris and Peterson. Obviously, the only viable choice from those two is Peterson given Mike Harris's strong political leanings and associations. I suppose it is possible that Peterson is pulling the strings on this relationship but I doubt it. If you have anything tangible to report, don't keep us in suspense.

Butts is a proxy. No way the son of a coal miner from Nova Scotia is rocketed to the very top of the list of political influencers in such a short time, at such a young age without some serious backing. Who is he a proxy for, is the question? I have my suspicions, that its a former Ontario Premier who currently sits on a whole lot of very influential corporate boards (not McGuinty), but all of this is hearsay and a result of my own casual sleuthing on the subject

All true----what I don't understand is what is so "complicated" and what your answer has to do with my original point.

[Pete Vere] It's a bit more complicated than that, FC. Marriage is also ordered toward the procreation and education of children, and to the mutual welfare of the spouses. Moreover, marriage is exclusive, and when between two baptized--a sacrament.

Why didn't you go to the police or to the head of the government?

It happen's more than you think, mine went the other way. I was a public works contractor, I remodeled a house for a PW contracting officer. He wouldn't pay me. He said this is how it's going to work. You work on our homes you get more PW projects. I complained to his boss and it was understood if I mentioned this to "anybody" I'd have more problems than I could handle, later I was assaulted​ and threatened with my life, true story.

I can't understand why ANYONE would care where he is. Unless, maybe, they plan on visiting him. Otherwise, prison is prison. Victims don't get to pick what prison a perp occupies.

I can understand that the families of his victims would want to know where he is. Everyone else too. Why the secrecy? Life in prison can and should be made more miserable than death. And with our screwy system, death row costs us more.

They actually started using photo targets with small children, women, and elderly people a few years back to help desensitize them, because anyone can be a threat.

For the last twenty five years or so Police training has gradually switched to military style tactics where the emphasis has been shoot to kill. Shoot "center mass" is taught until your weapon is empty. The Darth Vader look became Universal with black clothing, black guns, and sun glasses etc. Hysterical screaming is taught to introduce as much panic and confusion to the situation as possible. It is an increasingly violent world unfortunately going to get worse.

Roger, I hear what you are saying, and I believe that free will and personal responsibility are both essential. However, you mention nothing about income inequality, stagnate wages, globalization, opioid addiction (big pharma) and on and on. These are all issues that are largely out of control for us as individuals. We need to reinvest our citizens and stop predatory consumer practices that promote greed and prey on the disadvantaged (elderly, poor, minors, mentally/physically disabled). Since the passage of TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the what was previously called welfare), the states receive federal block grants to spend how they choose. Families can receive benefits for only a fixed amount of time, after that they are cutoff. https://goo.gl/KzzZuj TANF Cash Benefits Have Fallen by More Than 20 Percent in Most ... My state: https://goo.gl/EjeEjN Cash Assistance - Compass

We have destroyed family and values with our welfare state. We pay girls to get knocked up, quit school, never get a job, never marry and get paid benefits for having children with unknown fathers. No morals, no self respect. She is a grand mother in her early 30's, a great grand mother in her late 40's and there are 40 riding the welfare train. They are poor, not educated, personal responsibility is considered a form or racism or abuse and every generation, grows more numerous, poorer and weaker all thanks to the government welfare breeding program.

Maybe not a better man, but one who refuses to watch games called by Mickey & Goofy. I ask more than reading every line in every team's media guide, and the 60-plus pages prepared by the two teams' PR group, and calling that information. You could just read along when he launches into: "X was a 12th round draft choice in (year) and played for (AAA franchise) in (year), then was traded to (team) in (year) for (player Y), and came up to the majors in (year), and so on and on... Take away: "X goes after the first pitch" on every occurrence, every other word being "that", and Goofy's slavish echoing of what Mickey just said. Goofy's "just a little bit", sometimes five times in the same paragraph. Their preoccupation with shoulders & mechanics on both pitchers and hitters, and the pointless guesses on what pitch will come next. Never mind that the next day's game against the same team will drag out the same clichés and so-called insight into the player... BTW, I like Joe Buck's P-B-P!

Re: US Fox broadcast team. If you can stomach Joe Buck constantly fawning over the Cubs, and in particular, Javier Baez, as he did last year, you're a better man than me.

That's because we have ugly food trucks behind us, and Kesey Square is being trolled into becoming a "place of commerce." It's ugly. We are fighting. We do not want downtown to become unappealing, but rather welcoming. You only got a glimpse. IMHO, Eugene is one of the most beautiful places in the whirled. We go to city council meetings. We are in the process of re-writing legislation. Best of all, we don't give up.

I think other places see what some in Eugene are promoting and do the opposite. The downtown area looks very unappealing compared to other cities that have visited.

But the characteristics being profiled are not causative of crime. And, voila, you have what is known as racism and racial profiling. You're a slow learner.

Can we let them do their job and not some PC checklist. Trump was elected because of this rampant mentality attacking the police force. Yes there are some instances which warrant scrutiny. The vast majority of encounters do not. We should not treat every officer as a criminal, but rather we should focus on the criminals regardless of their color or sex!

Statehood never has been offered, it has been demanded to deaf ears. When a referendum was offered people voted against statehood because the only benefits were toward the rich and private sector. Other conditions that were demanded from the Republic to grant statehood was to give up Spanish as the first language, no exception from the Joan Act and have to be approved by the senate. Now lets be real, senate will never allow a brown state with more political power than other states to become part of the Republic. Is easy to use “We”, when not even a majority get to choose their government.

Puerto Rico is part of "we". "We" owe Puerto Rico nothing. "We" have offered statehood to the territory just like most other states. If Puerto Rico wants to be taken seriously, it needs to decide if it is a state or an independent nation and quit gaming the system by having it both ways.

You could also go back to the "urban renewal" of the late sixties when they demolished block after block of downtown architectural heritage. Some of the resulting scars of that Visigoth attack are still visible.

Good! I hope they do! You could always move back to 1980 when they'd torn down buildings and created massive seas of parking lots surrounding the skyscrapers.

Not everything is identity politics Torbayguy. Political correctness is out of control if one can't use common phrases without being accused of racializing something.

The Trump manufactured NFL nonsense has its moments. At a press conference this afternoon Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated that Trump regards the NFL foolishness as a "black and white issue". I suppose those words can be afforded many interpretations but...........

Are you for real? Very slowly but surely, the game is losing its integrity. Most real fans are now following teams in lower leagues which have not been polluted by foreign money. The "fans" that are attracted to the sport nowadays tend to be materialistic, celebrity-obsessed younger people who have no sense of tradition or loyalty.

The club was founded in 1904, that is 113 years ago. It has a rich history. It then changed its name to Paris Saint-Germain in 1970. Its a great thing that money is being spent in Paris, it is "The City of Light", one of the most beautiful cities in the World and the 1st or 2nd biggest city in Europe (depending how you calculate). Investing in Paris (Ligue 1) was a very smart move on their part.. Nothing wrong with building the future. The only one's that are upset are the ones that have been spending like mad for decades (before the Financial Fair Play, and guess who pushed for the FFP, the same old guard). Cavani, Mbappé and Neymar will be excellent together! Lets look at the Premiership! Teams have been spending that kind of cash for a long time already, no one seems to complain! Dodgy ownership there... - How about Chelsea, owned by a Russian billionaire with a dark past. - Manchester City, owned by UAE and the government of China!!
