The writer is a Tim Tredwell wannabe. Just not quite as stupid. Facts are is that most common people are scared pooless of bears and do not want them in and around Anchorage. We don't care if only one person was mauled by a bear. It will change your life, if you live, for the negative of that I can assure you. I would not give the entire population of woods pigs (bears are related to pigs) for 1 human mauled or killed. Why not hang up posters of the scars for life that mauled people have experienced at all the trail heads. Never happen! This is very much in the liberal tradition!

I got no dog in this fight. But, the fact remains that the workers at the polls violated the rules concerning the distribution of ballots. There is so much ado about printing ballots in Native languages, but, no mention of untrained and/or unqualified election workers manning the polls. Of course the State wants to railroad the results through. Less work. Of course the incumbent wants a recount. Wouldn't you? Be honest now... Had the Division of Elections ordered a do-over from the start, they would have saved the State a lawsuit. Of course, there's always the Boss. Yup.

I think you know that most of the opposition to restructuring the Permanent Fund comes from those who object to the oil industry subsidies remaining in place. In effect half of every Alaskan's dividend check would go to finance the $700 Million in subsidies to the oil industry that would be doing the work without any encouragement because they make Billions of dollars pumping OUR oil. You know that the Governor proposed a balanced set of ideas that in total would have reduced the deficit almost to the balance point but you insist on playing the blame game by pretending the only idea put forth by the Governor was the PFD restructuring. In fact that is the only part of the Governors balanced plan that the legislature had the courage to cheer pick out and pass.

You didn't read the article: "The meeting with his Russian counterpart [Kirill] drew Francis deep into geopolitics, and led him to condone Russia’s foreign policy and critique the West’s in ways that have infuriated some of the Catholic church’s supporters ... The joint declaration issued after the meeting hewed close to the Kremlin’s positions on the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine." When Sect. of State John Kerry went to Havana the week before, he met with dissidents and spoke about human rights. The pope did not. An April 2015 article in Il Sole 24 Ore stated the Vatican’s assets - securities, commercial real estate and bank accounts - for all its departments and offices combined “by a conservative estimate” would be around 15-17 billion euro. With approximately 400 citizens and 800 residents, that make the Vatican the wealthiest country per capita. The US gov't doesn't claim to be "poor for the poor."

You seem to forget there are so called "rights" that contradict each other. More than a few years back, a store would carry the sign "We reserve the right to refuse service to ....". The law then changed so that the customer had the "right" to service. So "rights" of the private owner, were taken away, while "rights" were given to the customer. So in effect, the government is the one who defines the "rights" of citizens down to the most minute detail. That might be more scary, then "if you don't like the store, or company to work for, go to another store or company".

And no one wants to butt into the business of women and their private medical decisions. If it involved a woman who wants to remove her leg, gall bladder, arm, spleen, appendix, etc--no one cares what a woman wants to do to her body. The problem with abortion is that another human person is involved. That is where we have to butt in because we don't get to kill people and claim--it is none of anyone business that we are killing people--because the Constitution guarantees the right to privacy. The Constitution grants us the right to privacy--not the right to murder people. Apparently this reasoning was lost on the SCOTUS. That--is exactly why over education from Harvard and other elitist schools can be a bad thing. It can cause you to miss the obvious.

Before you point fingers at your favourite likely culprit, you should recall that three years ago Canadian electronic spies hacked the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy. This was revealed through a series of slides prepared by the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC). Those in turn were part of the leaked trove of information provided by Edward Snowden. Speaking at the time to the Globe and Mail, security expertPaulo Pagliusi said he was “astonished” by Canada’s hacking power. www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/canadas-hacking-power-awes-brazilian-security-expert/article14850467/ So, two points. Don't angrily accuse other countries of doing what we have long been doing ourselves. And if you think that only the Russians or Chinese would be the hackers, you are probably naive.

So you think secession is legal? Based on what? The "...argument against secession centers on the language of Article I, Section 10, which declares that “No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation….” To proponents of this position, Article I, Section 10 unequivocally shows that the states which formed the Confederate States of America were in clear violation of the Constitution, thus invalidating their government and the individual acts of secession which led to it. Abraham Lincoln indirectly defended this position by declaring the seceding states were in “rebellion” and therefore still members of the Union. The Constitution, then, was still legally enforceable in those states, including Article I, Section 10." http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/is-secession-legal/ Given the choice of Lincoln, or a kon man, I'll go with Lincoln every time.

The only reason that Sanders polls better than Trump is that Republicans are holding back the information they have on Sanders' past history in hopes he is nominated. There are reasons Republicans have never stopped attacking Clinton and have not laid a glove on Sanders, and it isn't because he is Saint Bernie. If he is nominated they will spend hundreds of millions of Koch Brothers dollars telling Americans that Sanders supported the Iranian government in 1980 while the Iranian mullahs were holding Americans hostage. They will tell us all about his support for completely removing funding for American defense. That was part of the platform of his party, the Socialist Workers Party. He was an Elector for the SWP that year. They will tell us about all his wacky theories others have referenced, but it is his past as an active revolutionary trying to undermine the US as we know it that will doom his candidacy.

If the Italians leave the EU, along with the Euro currency, and go back to printing Lira, they can recapitalize their banks by having their new central bank buy up bonds issued by the banks. Such bonds may even pay negative rates ( i.e. more money going from the central bank to the Italian banks after it buys their bonds). This has the advantage that no taxpaper funds are used and no savers get 'bailed-in'. In the past this would not have been done since it would have caused massive inflation, but since modern inflation is stuck close to zero there would be little risk in giving it a try. Unfortunately, the problem will be existing debts denominated, and paid back, in Euros. That will probably require a temporary fixed Lira/Euro exchange rate that will then be allowed to float again after the Euro debts are paid back. The EU is a mess, and disentangling from it is also, unfortunately, a mess too.

I did overtime studies of Anchorage police & fire years ago. I doubt much has changed since then. The amount of overtime that APD/AFD officers received in the past could increase their total annual compensation by over 30% on top of already generous pay scales. Muni overtime rules allow the most senior officers - those earning the most because of longevity- to get “first crack” at it. So when you see police directing parking at events or other non-standard patrol duties, they are usually the most senior officers & are making a HUGE hourly overtime pay for that duty. Senior officers tend to start seeking a lot of overtime in the 3 years before their 20-year retirement timeline- because all the overtime they earn in their final 3 years of working is added into the calculation of the size of their annual retirement income. I have known APD/AFD people with retirement incomes larger than the incomes they received while working! has been true under Dem/Republican mayors both. Always.

I think that the tiny house movement is a good thing , especially if it involves solar power, but for it to do well we are going to have to change our culture. When I was in grad school at UCCS back in the early 80's there was a consensus that houses should be smaller and use less resources, but what actually happened? Houses got bigger, used more resources, and local government made codes that discouraged smaller houses. Making them conform to existing codes or getting around codes is a short term solution. The codes should be changed to conform to what is needed.

I don't share your vision of billion dollar lawsuits, though I know that lawyers go for the gold. I found a surprising consensus about the cost of malpractice suits among a variety of sources. 30-80 billion isn't chump change, but it's a rounding error (two sources said that) considering the gigantic cost of health care. I don't want to look it up again, but I think I remember for the US it's 18% of GDP. So 1.5% of that would be 0.003% of GDP approximately. Malpractice is a constant in health care - ask any nurse. One I knew told me that a mistake in filling an IV bag with the wrong chemical killed a patient's entire gut. Of course the patient died, we need our guts. This happens from time to time, and those who are damaged need money to live, or their survivors want justice.

The Federalist reported: According to Soviet documents unearthed in the early 1990’s, Kennedy literally asked the Soviets, avowed enemies of the U.S., to intervene on behalf of the Democratic party in the 1984 elections. Kennedy’s communist communique was so secret that it was not discovered until 1991, eight years after Kennedy had initiated his Soviet gambit. From the KGB memo: Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.

For the same reason that her Palace Guard evaporated and her Ministers and Police were hiding out with a Gatling Gun in the jail across town the night of the Revolution of 1893. There was no way they would die for her. Then two years later when she with other conspirators came up with a plot to overthrow the new Republic Government with a population of 40,000 Polynesians she could only find 175 to take part. No. Two years after the new government had been established and was working well the people had now had a taste of Democracy and had no stomach to return to the Monarch model. A model under her and her brother that was nothing but constant intrigue, corruption, and fiscal irresponsibility. Read all about that night in Lucien Young's book "The Real Hawaii", published in 1899. You can read the whole account on line just search the book's name, pages 177-193 pertain to this event.

The State has sworn to preserve and restore the Native Hawaiian culture, defined by the pre-contact status under King Kamehameha. This is the State's definition. There are two people here who don't seem to get it or want to get it, but Native Hawaiian and native Hawaiian are defined by the State. (Upper Case) Native Hawaiian is some one born in Hawaii with 50% direct ancestry to the ohana alive at the time of King Kamehameha, or 50% blood quantum. Hawaii is very different from the Native Americans because they had census taken from almost the beginning. The Ancestral Ohana Names are well documented. For now, verifiable ancestral heritage is the most used, DNA only starting to be used. (Lower Case) native Hawaiian is anybody born in Hawaii, with accompanied state right, without 50% blood quantum. The State often announces they are only in stewardship of these lands until they are returned to the Native Hawaiians. The top of Mauna Kea is Ancestral Kanu'ana Aina, kapu to even talk about.

I think you missed the part where Canada's high tech CEOs think Trump will be good for foreign recruitment here in Canada. A better destination for the best and the brightest, whether they wear a Niquab or not. That might mean more competition in the short run for Canadian High Tech Grads, though if we become a major hub of activity that won't be an issue.
