You could be bothered with your poor grammar and writing skills but obviously you are not. If a group of football players kneels, how is it individual publicity? If the flag and anthem represent what "we" want this country to be and become then what is the problem with kneeling in order to show that what "we" want this country to be and become isn't taking place. The flag is an emblem for American ideals enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. It is a thing serving as a symbolic representation of our ideals. If those ideals are being routinely disregarded by those in power, by those who have power of life and death over citizens, how is it not appropriate to kneel in protest when the words and deeds of major American institutions are not living up to that ideal?	unbiased	6143970	1,803
Those ones that hang out in sanctuary cities where local politicians shield them? Yes, they should all be scrutinized.

It would seem that childish subjugation to the paternalistic big guy is more a psychological disorder -- and is an issue that is so very carefully not raised by those who do not understand the underpinnings of 'neurotic' -- DSM V is a good place to start.

It would be nice if the state required Medicaid providers to accept Medicare patients. You see practitioners gouging the state on the Medicaid cash cow but refuse to see the elderly as reimbursements are much lower. This would solve the problem of the elderly unable to find a Doctor. Perhaps the state could release the annual payments to individual practitioners and we could see how much our resources are being drained by our benevolent Doctors!	unbiased	473086	1,809

I think the dialogue needs to be open though. With abortion and gay marriage solidified in our country(its really not going to be reversed) We need a healthy discussion between people of true faith and non followers.

"A village by any other name..."

He would have resigned because proceeding with the case would not only cost him, but all the benefits accruing from his resignation could be sopped if he ended up being found guilty. Most public officials do that.

I think it's more like they are trying to ensure they can have an event with minimal interruption. Protesters have demonstrated an extreme lack of respect for PERSON and his message. They have gone out of their way to interrupt and antagonize. While I don't agree with most of his message and quite frankly don't trust him. I also recognize that he has the freedom of speech. I also recognize political groups have the right to assemble and should be allowed to do so without interruption from opposing views. Using your right to free speech to silence anothers is just plain wrong. Anyone entering a "rally" or group convention with the intention of interrupting their gathering should be arrested for hindering free speech. In my opinion they should also be civilly liable for damages as well. I think they could be considered theft.	unbiased	383985	1,825

" What was the problem again?" Uh, adding700+ people and providing close to 350 parking spaces in a very tight corner. The 514 and 504 streetcars, 29 series and 501L busses all make use of that intersection, which as you should know is gridlocked for TFC games, the Ex, Caribana etc. already. Traffic is not the same on Dufferin or Springhurst now and will increase exponentially when the new Liberty Village street opens as it terminates on Dufferin. Jamming 700 mostly one bedroom units onto a stressed intersection is not progress, or beneficial. As one person already said, bring them down to 7- 8 stories and ditch the parking.	unbiased	5178859	1,829

If not a critical thinker, at minimum you require the insight to understand the value and importance thereof. True thinkers value being around others who think. PERSON does not understand how accidental his own position of power is. An untransformed and archaic institution allowed for this. (Mbeki, although a thinker, remained insular. He has yet to reflect honestly on his leadership and acknowledge some things could have been done differently. He apparently has nothing to apologize for!) The opportunistic use of tribal and ethnic rhetoric by PERSON is simply to deflect. The perception is that it forms the basis of his popularity. Globally tho the failure of 'democracy' and 'capital' has given rise to dissatisfaction with the "establishment". This makes for strange alliances and bedfellows. And herein lies our reality. PERSON was a useful tool and or fool. The ANC will supposedly "self correct" by prosecuting and jailing its former President thereby deflecting on the real systemic issues.	biased	5228446	1,834

Yes, he would be that foolish based on his past behavior and judgement.

Not true, PERSON. Since it was not ratified by the senate, there is nothing binding the current executive branch to any previous executive agreements.

Is there a form of schizophrenia or memory loss, in that Americans embraced the Patriot Act a few short years ago with it's loss of freedoms and Orwellian state monitoring without a protest, and now want to invite the refugees from the endless US war against Islamists who are also at war with themselves? These years of war against Islamists, who change affiliations monthly, created a national security state out of the US with such indignities as the TSA, and these fears now seem moot to the social liberals protesting. If forgive and forget is our motto, then should the US government return the freedoms to it's citizens that were taken away and should we not be actively protesting for the freedoms of refugees as well as our own lost freedoms?

EV batteries are fully recyclable, and unlike the lead acid batteries in gas cars, are completely non-toxic and do not contain any heavy metals. They are also free of rare earth metals. Contrast with the numerous waste streams produced by gasoline powered cars, which include: all of the toxic by-products of mining, extracting processing and refining the fuels (take a look around the oil fields in Nigeria, or Houston after the flood), the tonnes of emissions produced by each gasoline car each year, the billions of litres of polluted engine oil, transmission fluid and coolants resulting from servicing gas powered cars, the contamination from underground fuel tanks, pipeline leaks, train and truck accidents, the groundwater impacts of fracking, the pollution of the oceans from spills, ballast water and oil well blow outs, etc., which are orders of magnitude more toxic and harmful to the environment than the reprocessing and reuse of a non-toxic EV battery after a few hundred thousand km.	unbiased	5948890	1,855

Thank you Prof. PERSON for finally saying what had to be said about "academic freedom." Many here evidently believe this allows some total freedom to act, which couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, college faculty are given virtually total freedom in choosing their material as long as they stay "on topic", which is a wonderful and necessary part of their role. However, in interacting with their students whether in the classroom or anyplace related to the university their behavior is strictly circumscribed by university rules and professional ethics. The idea that a senior professor would invite her classes to her home then carry out behavior, no matter how well intentioned, which would embarrass or humiliate any of her students would be anathema on a campus dedicated to inclusion of all. However, given her good intentions and the clumsy overreaction of the UO administration I'd say it's time to get Professor Prof. PERSON back in the classroom January 9.	unbiased	756553	1,900

You could be bothered with your poor grammar and writing skills but obviously you are not. If a group of football players kneels, how is it individual publicity? If the flag and anthem represent what "we" want this country to be and become then what is the problem with kneeling in order to show that what "we" want this country to be and become isn't taking place. The flag is an emblem for American ideals enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. It is a thing serving as a symbolic representation of our ideals. If those ideals are being routinely disregarded by those in power, by those who have power of life and death over citizens, how is it not appropriate to kneel in protest when the words and deeds of major American institutions are not living up to that ideal?

Except they won't be gone - the system replenishes itself. The new club will have men, certainly some women, and even 'people of colour' and non-Christian religions. But the club will still have the same rules. Social class is a sustainable, renewable resource.

This was from a resident who lives at the trailhead who evidently sat out there counting-as reported by a neighborhood board member at the meeting. I'm sure it will be in the minutes. I will clarify that those numbers only apply to three day weekends. She did not say they were all tourists. The fact that there are vans and buses unloading hikers is fairly alarming. Good to know that you are not so affected. The environmental impact however affects all of us even if our own front lawns are not.

I'm not up to par with tax regulations, but I'm wondering if the city can do a "bait and switch" kind of deal where property taxes ARE raised but used to fund other city needs, then divert the monies currently used for those other programs to rail? Then technically, they could say that the property tax increase was not used for rail.

Under what economic assumptions was the PSU "study" conducted? There is no doubt that Oregon's revenue structure is one of the most dysfunctional in the country. No one would have voluntarily designed the system we have. Measure 97 was the only recent proposal on the table that addressed the issue at all. That was a no-go for the deep pocket corporations who continue to enjoy Oregon's overall lowest corporate tax rate in the country. It's going to take some real political imagination and cooperation to address the real issues here.

It's a shame these conservatives didn't conserve our money. We'd be getting $5,000 dividends and have a right-sized state government besides.

I would recommend that you ride with a police officer and see what they deal with no matter what color they are. They interact with 10 percent of society 90 percent of the time. The 10 percent no matter what color they are decide not to follow the laws that the other 90 percent do. Now put yourself in the officers position on that night (key word) and think of how they feel. I don't know the specifics but some 13 year olds can be tall and look like an adult from a distance and with limited visibility. As an officer are you willing to take the chance that the object you see is a real or fake weapon in seconds? By the way your wife is expecting you home for dinner and your little one has a birthday party this weekend. As for PERSON, yes he has the right to do what he is doing. But anyone that does some research into BLM will find that the real tragedy is BonB killings are off the charts. The beam needs to be taken out of the eye of a culture and do some inward reflection. God bless

Did you bother to read that link, PERSON? "More than two dozen reconstructions, using various statistical methods and combinations of proxy records, have supported the broad consensus shown in the original 1998 hockey-stick graph, with variations in how flat the pre-20th century "shaft" appears. The 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report cited 14 reconstructions, 10 of which covered 1,000 years or longer, to support its strengthened conclusion that it was likely that Northern Hemisphere temperatures during the 20th century were the highest in at least the past 1,300 years. Over a dozen subsequent reconstructions, including PERSON et al. 2008 and PAGES 2k Consortium 2013, have supported these general conclusions."

Sorry you don't like America. I do and I wouldn't live anywhere else. I don't witness hatred, bigotry and exclusion in my day to day life. And being 55, I remember watching racism in the south in the 60's when I grew up. Today is nothing like that. While today is not utopia, it gets better every day. There are many private echo chambers out there. Both left and right. Your view will depend upon which one you lock yourself in. There are threats out there. Every month or so another country suffers a terror attack with multiple casualties. It is a real threat, not an imaginary one

Thank you Prof. PERSON for finally saying what had to be said about "academic freedom." Many here evidently believe this allows some total freedom to act, which couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, college faculty are given virtually total freedom in choosing their material as long as they stay "on topic", which is a wonderful and necessary part of their role. However, in interacting with their students whether in the classroom or anyplace related to the university their behavior is strictly circumscribed by university rules and professional ethics. The idea that a senior professor would invite her classes to her home then carry out behavior, no matter how well intentioned, which would embarrass or humiliate any of her students would be anathema on a campus dedicated to inclusion of all. However, given her good intentions and the clumsy overreaction of the UO administration I'd say it's time to get Professor Prof. PERSON back in the classroom January 9.
