They manufacture stories to tell, and can't answer questions posed them, they stutter when asked, my gosh, what a horrible bunch.

Oh my! "Walter," I'd say, in the vernacular, you nailed it! :) A series of life lessons led me to finally take the step out the door of "the church." But just yesterday day, a friend asked if I felt any resentment toward the church of my youth and my cloistered upbringing. I replied with an emphatic "No!" I quoted a life coach I employed for a number of years. (For the record, his reply was much saltier than my paraphrase quoted here.) This fine gentleman and I had worked on a number of issues in my life, including a nearly debilitating need for approval AND a pathological need to be right. As I whined one more time about my "upbringing" (which mirrored yours in many ways) he said, "Oh for blankety-blanks sake, shut the blank up! All that stuff (not the word he used) good and bad is what made you the man you are today!" He did not use the paraphrased expletives lightly so he got my attention! And he was completely right!

You've got an exaggerated sense of your self worth Maracas. Here's a quote that sums up a more peaceful approach to life: "We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth." - Henry Beston

So what do we know, based on the G&M articles: - he made the comment - the students launched a protest, with several "demands" - Massey acted or began action on three of the four of those demands - there is no indication that Massey took *any* action on the fourth demand, that the Fellow's relationship with the college be ended - the Fellow apologized swiftly or immediately, & then resigned, but protested a lack of due process What we *don't* KNOW is the Fellow's intent, or what due process he felt was lacking. I think those are all the facts. So all the hysteria that follows in these Comments about communism or political correctness or whatever, are, to say the least, uninformed & knee-jerk. Chill, folks.

Thank you - one other piece of historical information. O'Malley and other historians have identified a pattern subsequent to church councils. Simply, it takes roughly 50 years before a council's directions begin to impact the church - during that 50 years you have delays, resistance; push back, arguments, etc. Suggest that with Francis (the first VII pope- ordained after VII) and the end of Benny's delays and rationalizations, the church may actually begin to implement, live, and further develop the insights of VII.

Freedom of speech is one of the basic tenets of a democracy.

Wow Doug, 7 years later and you finally woke up to the fact that 'Ford Nation' was more than angry white men and was well rooted in the city's ethnically and racially diverse suburbs of the economically excluded. Better late than never I guess. But a few clarifications: “'Despite his personal wealth, he gave the impression that he spoke the language of the marginalized.' Sound familiar?" The comparison between Ford and Trump is weak. Trump grew up in a privileged world and lived much of his life above others in Trump Tower. Rob Ford, although from a wealthy family, lived just blocks away from the towers of the inner suburbs. He continued to live in the area. He went to public school in the area. He socialized with kids from the towers (and continued to socialize with them). Ford spoke their language because, wealth aside, he was one of them. It is why he smoke some crack in a bungalow basement. It was not just an impression, he was the real deal.

He would feel and act humbled by the responsibility he's assumed.\n\nBut what do we get instead? Braggadocio, vindictivemess, lies. Reckless attacks on the very intelligence agenies on which he must rely for critical information in times of crisis. Meaningless sideshows about saving a few jobs here or there. Bizarre fawning on a Russian dictator who means no good to this country. Impulsive tweets that call into question fundamental policies and old alliances. Refusal to separate his personal financial interest from his public responsibilites--even to disclose his financial links to foreign nations, especially Russia.\n\nThe only thing Trump really cares about is his personal image, his brand.

Um, no, actually, it isn't irrelevant. Marriage is not between one man and one woman because the Church says so. The Church teaches that marriage is between one man and one woman, because, marriage, by definition, by it's very nature, is a commitment between one man and one woman. The Church teaches what manifestly IS. The Church does not create reality with her teaching, church teaching is based on the nature of reality. Gay marriage, is, by definition, an oxymoron. The Constitution, so far as I am aware (and I admit I am no elitist lawyer with a fancy degree from an elitist school) does not grant any of the three branches of government the power to redefine reality based on the whims of pop-culture. Can you show me where the Constitution grants any of the three branches of government the power to altar reality based on cultural whims, trends, fads, fashions and the like?

That's what the schools are contending with. They shouldn't, I believe, but they are. And, since that is the unfortunate reality, the schools have to take measures that address the type of insanity the dangling of $80,000-$300,000 brass rings give rise to. That's all.

The OSC didn't cause the run, the company did that by making itself measurably unhealthy. The most that can be said is that the OSC's actions likely precipitated the specific timing of the run. The question is, was there a better way for them to handle what they discovered? That is a very complicated question that is beyond answering here.

It's the government's fault with all their illegal parking spaces. Parking fines are nothing but a hwy robbery by the State. People have a problem the state should not create more of problem for them, they should help to solve it. There should be no parking on major street what so ever. Traffic is too congested in the GTA just creates stress and pedestrians come out from between parked cars and drivers can not see them. There should be free parking on side streets to allow people to park. Toronto is too congested because of corrupt city planners. One-ways streets blocking out entire neighbourhoods is another problem.

Always good to AVOID handing over money directly to government not funneling it directly from the Fund/PFD for spending. No transparency in spending. That's what got us into overspending to this day, funneling 75% (plus) of oil money into govt. No accountability! I have heard from past lawmakers that there were times they couldn't spend the money fast enough, so that forced them a few times to put money into savings. Saving more was needed...the Fund has not grown enough to be a dependable source of govt financing. Tax back the dividend if there is a proven need (not a deceptive "emergency") that residents agree with and services they choose to pay for. The Fund must not be changed without public consent. A huge part of the success of the Fund's growth is the protection provided by the PFD. The Permanent Fund system is a phenomenal success and example around the world. Elect leaders in 2018 who understand and defend the Permanent Fund and Alaska shareholders rights and decisions.

Hollywood has replaced that beacon with a 'red light' that advertises a message of depravity, replacing the ideals of freedom and liberty with 'money, sex and power' We have, by and large, been co-opted by Hollywood and liberal politics President Trump is not a 'known' sex harasser.

Our government is now in the hands of greedy, cowardly, authoritarian white men who are deathly scared of powerful women, people of color, LGBT, Nones, anyone who dares to challenge the status quo, greed, and stupidity we see coming out of DC, among others. That's why we see assaults to voting rights, free speech, equal rights, peaceful protest, etc. Attempts to control the expression of sexuality among consenting adults is another way authoritarian governments attempt to control the population. Controlling access to healthcare, education, equal justice, and participation in the economy by paying fair, living wages are other attempts at control. All of these practices do nothing except accelerate the deterioration and destruction of our democracy. We've come full circle.

As for Iraq, this dictator made it clear he wanted to be the new Hitler, and take over the middle east he thought belongs to Iraq. On a little deeper note, this bailed out Russia after we bankrupted them, and got money flowing into that country before they sold their nukes on the black market for cash. It also bailed out Mexico who was decimated by runaway inflation that made the peso worthless.

Eugene is just too small in population and too removed from major cities to support a large art community. The market is simply too small. Plus, we really don't have any nationally, much less internationally, renown artists. We don't have anything remotely matching the excellence of the Ashland Shakespeare Festival. Our local art scene is mediocre at best. The city has already done more than its fair share of supporting the arts with the Hult Center and the Cuthbert. While I support the Hult and Cuthbert, investing further tax dollars into the Arts would be a bad choice, and yield very little benefit. What the city badly needs is economic development. And the Arts are not going to give you that.

Mandatory telecommuting and 3 day work weeks throughout the province would solve all transportation needs. Urban family housing is easily resolved with the replacement of a east van blocks with factory built 6 story wood frame apartments at $70K per pop - see China's broad group for a how to. The $10B presently totally wasted on the Site C dam would finance all the accommodation needed, which unlike the dead loss of Site C, would pay for itself with rentals and rent to own.
