What do you think happens when demand increases and supply stays the same? (prices rise, its called inflation) What is your answer? More highways? Fact remains Oahu has a major problem when it comes to mobility. The mayor has tried to address this with mass transit and bike lanes but what would you do? It is always easy to be so negative and critical but what would you do? I suggest anything you would propose would just maike the situation worse. We really need to just get the system built.

Nations and civilizations have a right to maintain their cultures and belief systems. If the Pope feels so strongly about this issue, then why doesn't he give to the refugees the empty convents, schools, seminaries, and churches, all over Europe, due to the collapse of Christianity, so they can live in dignity. He doesn't do this, does he? The Catholic Church should also have to pay taxes to help support all the unwanted and poor children born because birth control and abortion isn't available in so may places around the world because of the Church.

I probably don't know enough people to have heard Trump's kind of repulsive boorish talk all that much. Trump's implication that most men (all "real" men?) act this way is among the worst insults I can imagine. Having taught middle school, when I would hear a nasty or derogatory comment about Mexicans or girls or gay people or Asians or even some other student, we'd stop the class and talk. And talk, and talk. About civil rights. About each other. About how we are all different and we need to protect how we treat each other. It has to be very clear that this is not acceptable in our school and society. One point is that getting this straight is more important than covering the class material. Similarly, among adults, when this kind of talk happens, you have to say that's not acceptable, that's an ugly way to think and talk, and then leave the group. This is standing up for what is right.

It was a "state sponsored riot". The Charlottesville Mayor, police and civic leaders "green lighted" the violent confrontations. They facilitated the riot by the police arraying themselves on three sides and letting the mutual combatants engage in hundreds of cases of felony assaults. Hundreds. The abject lawlessness was designed to serve the most morally bankrupt purposes. To foment public violence as the "Resistance". We also note that virtually no one was arrested. Scores and scores of people engage on the most reprehensible violence and it's just another day in Charlottesville. Or Berkeley, CA. Or Chicago, IL. Now the WN, KKK, et al, had their social media moment. Rather than allowing the nitwits to march, in accordance with the lawful permit, the 1st A, and SCOTUS case law, the political leaders chose violence. If I don't agree with someone's views I can physically assault them? We reap what we sow.

"Clark also touted previous promises to eliminate (the) unpopular msp, cap bridge tolls at $500 annually... and create a new tax credit for people living in communities that are dependent on BC Ferries." The Liberals are promising to cap bridge tolls at $500, however they have not said that they may well tax all crossings to make up for the lost revenue. Some pay less, and some pay that never paid before. MSP premiums were raised by the BC Liberals past the point of equitable fairness (considering politicians and public sector workers have their premiums employer paid). The BC Liberals may well eliminate premiums, but no guarantee this will not be made up for by an income tax levy similar to Ontario. Tax credit for islanders dependent on the ferry. Define dependence, will this apply to Vancouver Island or just smaller Islands? And of course tax credits are of little use to the lowest of earners. Don't cast your vote because you think last minute promises will save you money.

A pathetic and laughable defense. I am a Thomist myself, but Thomas also was against the Immaculate Conception.

Yes, Kaleo, mindfulness practice, movement-based therapies and progressive increase in activity level over MANY weeks is often necessary before safe and sustainable return to full-functioning following significant injury. Pain is best controlled when tissues are maximally healed. Until then, we need an intact (undisturbed) pain response to guide our activity and sense our tissue limits in real time. Over-riding this with quick-fix narcotics is a prescription for delayed healing. This impatient, short-cut approach often costs health plans and employers far more in the long run due to poorly healed tissues, scarring, increased reliance on expensive health care (Dr. visits, meds, injections, tests, surgeries) lower job performance, intermittent mental clouding, irritable and depressed mood, chronic pain, and addiction. It is a sad reflection on the U.S. medical community that this has become our standard of care and contributed to misery, mortality and exploding health costs. Very Sad.

The same in principle would also apply with driving a car to work. There are definite risks involved any time we get into our cars and out in traffic. People die every single day from all kinds of automobile accidents. Still, it does not stop us from using our cars to go out wherever and whenever we wish. We all recognize that the benefits of using our automobiles far outweigh those risks, even though there are indeed definite risks. Blood transfusions are absolutely no different! Yes there are risks, there is no denying that. But when a human being finds himself in the position of needing one, at that point in his life, most likely the slight risks involved are far outweighed by the benefits. In many cases, it even means life and death.

Tom, I have deep relationships with several charismatic Catholics who bring a very special gift to the Church. My faith is more important to me than my politics and I find support for my political beliefs from my faith, just as you do. Faith is the more important thing, though. I disagree with you strenuously when you write that liberals don't vote on moral issues; we do, taking health care away from millions of people, some of them little babies, is anti-life and the repeal of Alabama Senator William Steagall's significant legislative accomplishment (Glass-Steagall), which came about because people's well being was threatened by Great Depression, was a terrible assault on hard working Americans,which Mrs. Clinton was complicit with. Liberals are generally moral and we vote on moral issues, just as our conservative brethren are generally moral and vote on moral issues. And your perspective is valued and unique. We are blessed to have it and better for it.

I'm not surprised. The 8 is barely a 7s and given the price differences and how good the 7 still is there is little reason for consumers on budgets to pick the 8 over the 7. Re the X, I'm not so sure this will work out for Apple. besides the fact their production and availability numbers this year won't be up to whatever mythical demand they are anticipating, the cost just seems too high, and the incremental technology just seems to little, for them to make up the difference in new X handset sales. I've been a fast upgrader since the first colour blackberry, but in this case don't see any reason to update to the 8 or X from the 7 even though I have a carrier credit available (particularly since even with that credit it will still cost like 1k to get into the X with enough memory.)

No quibbling from me about whatever shortcomings there might have been with Peter Mansbridge. Overall, he has always been a consummate professional . The National has always been the best TV newscast in North America ( and also the UK from what I have seen) in terms of presentation and reporting. However Mansbridge's retirement is likely the end of an era. The major evening news format has become outdated. No-one wants to wait for a set time each day to find out from one figurehead person what is going on at home and around the world. The 24/7 News channels are much more relevant to people now. So kudo's to the CBC for looking at a different way of delivering the daily news. I hope that includes seeing the CBC break more stories that matter to all Canadians.. The taxpayers deserve it. Right now it seems like the Globe and Mail is doing most of the work in that department. Enjoy your retirement Peter! You deserve it. You have served all of us very well.

Yes good points on the back up catcher.

The Alaska pipeline traverses a wilderness lacking in people. The environmental costs continue to mount from both ends. The EXXON-VALDEX in one event literally destroyed an ecosystem for the short term and continues to destroy many species. The pipeline was monitored throughout the building to require the safest possible construction by government oversight and environmental activists. Government monitoring provided more jobs than the pipeline. Many spills including the explosion of one station occurred soon after startup and continue to occur as more workers are jettisoned to monitor. One rifle slug punched a hole in it. The DAPL is accessible throughout by roads and in highly populated areas. Rich farmlands abound and all depend on water. One spill could be disastrous as none of the safety factors built into the AK pipeline exist in lower 48 pipelines. Multiple spills and blowouts have occurred as safety is secondary to profit. ND oil is toxic and highly flammable.

Far and away the most expensive government program in Canada is health care. The Canadian system is costly, inefficient and performs poorly.

Really? Well I believe that Ukraine is an independent country and should remain one. I believe that most Canadians would agree with that. Where I disagree with Freeland, and the current and former federal governments is in their steadfast support of the current bogus Ukrainian government and its unwillingness to embrace its Russian-speaking population in the East and South. At the very least, our government should be making its support contingent on a more inclusive approach by the Kyiv government. As to Crimea, forget it, it will stay with Russia of which it was a part until Khrushchev moved it from one SSR to another for purely political reasons internal to the USSR. Nobody is going to fight a war with Russia to get Crimea back into Ukraine, it's just posturing.

This situation points out the inefficiency inherent in the Initiative Process. White the right to petition the government is an essential right, the initiative process has been compared to adjusting a wristwatch with a sledgehammer. It is woefully unable to deal with complex social issues such as this which should be addressed in a deliberative process which was provided to Alaskans by their Constitution. Seldom do groups or individuals resort to the Initiative process when there exists a functioning legislature; however when you have a "do-nothing" legislature (like guess where) that refuses to deal with the public's business in an open forum of debate leading to a final resolution of an issue, you can expect more of this.
