<<If you want to shut up the Archbishop, please don't forget everyone else. No one should have to suffer through a political speech in Church.>> Assuming you mean partisan politicking -- advocating for or against specific candidates, I agree wholeheartedly. However, the preacher/homilist cannot entirely avoid the issues of the day, nor should s/he try to avoid them. The maxim that the preacher "must hold the Bible in one hand and the morning newspaper in the other" has been attributed to Karl Barth. The maxim contains more than a grain of truth, and implicit in it is an expression of how difficult the task of the preacher is.

Oh Concetta, I wish you could turn super powers on to pedestrians as well: the ones who hop out between parked cars and expect you to stop on a dime, the ones who dash across the crosswalk as the light turns yellow and long after the walk signal who stop traffic from clearing the intersection, the ones who never look up from their phones to see what traffic is doing around them, the ones who literally blend into the background but expect to be seen, and on it goes. I'm a both a pedestrian and a driver and neither side is without their faults in this. Both could use more common sense and respect for the other.

Not really semantics as I see it. You are overlooking the actual words to attribute a different meaning to the speaker. You may be right, but I've seen people on quests to "not find" something, and given that everyone wants to have success, it CAN influence behavior. That kind of search can subconsciously be a very different quest from being rewarded for finding something. I'm simply taking a common human desire for success or a good outcome and tying that directly to the words to determine meaning. Maybe those were just sloppy words, but sloppy words often reveal sloppy thinking which causes sloppy behavior.

How are you not getting this? There were no problems to address. We still need to have an AGM to approve the financial statements and budget and appoint the auditor for the next year. We need 30% of people to show up for an hour or less once a year to achieve this task. A notice should be all that they need because they've all invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into their units. However, we also indicated that people should let us know if there are any issues they would like to discuss as we would ensure it was brought up during the meeting. We also said we would be open to hearing any issues people had at the meeting. We still had to go knocking door to door ten minutes before the meeting started in order to reach 30%. And we didn't even get 30% to go! Some people who were home STILL wouldn't come, but signed a proxy at their door. It's almost comical. We held the meeting in the lobby... downstairs... they could have worn their pajamas... I don't know what else we could do.

from your comment it is readily apparent that you do not understand the reason for government. government exists to help the people with heath and safety, infrastructure, etc. any services provided by government are not charged to make money. they provide services because no one individual or business is able to provide that service to those in need. it is not a waste of taxpayer's money if the overall goal is to provide valuable services and a better quality of life to those in need. yes, projects do have cost overruns and other problems, but don' forget the antis contributed to a 2 year delay and cost overrun of over $2B due to their frivolous lawsuits.

Saying the Benghazi lie was not intentional is a great example of Politifact parsing it's words and ignoring sources that don't conform to their desired outcome. Random demonstrations don't come with RPG rocket launchers as the attack had. Ambassador Stephens sent dozens of communications begging for more protection outlining the risks and WIKILEAKs gave us Hilary's emails to outsiders acknowledging that it was a terror attack. If you truly want to be unbiased you need to go to the source and not use political intermediary s like snopes or politifact who have been shown to be bias. Like wiki leaks or not they only put out the truth, or what people have said whether true or not, like Assange or not he will gore any ox on either side of the isle without injecting his own interpretation.

Do you know where your oil/gas comes from if you live in Eastern Canada? Would you rather buy oil products from the Saudi regime or Canadian? I would rather have Energy East pipeline than Keystone to give Canadian pipeline and refining companies the business. As much as the Americans want to protect their interests, so should Canada. Who knows what kind of clauses Trump Inc. may insist on - it may be to the detriment of the other pipeline proposals and therefore eastern Canadian companies and oil/gas consumers.

If white folks want to show people-of-color that they oppose racism, they need to realize that being in the ranks of anti-racist activists involves negotiating 200+ years of white privilege and racial insularity. White folk can't expect these negotiations to be stress free and easy, or expect to somehow become icons of struggle just for showing up in that white skin. Want to leave no doubt about where you stand? Put your body on the line in a place where white power is normal and natural. Blood, bruises and arrest do a lot to assuage suspicion and ease the habit of insularity. I suspect that the AntiFa--I loathe the idea that anti-fascism is a fringe thing and not just a normal everyday American attitude--see themselves as doing exactly this. They assume that fascists have the upper hand anywhere the state allows them to mass and demonstrate. And, to be frank, they're not exactly wrong, as Heather Heyer's death makes abundantly clear.

Here in lies the dilemma. I can understand owners not wanting to, or in many cases not being able to pay for a sprinkler system, but how to do put a price on something like this, and what are the alternatives? If the reports are correct, none of the fatalities occurred in the unit where the fire started. That means, all three died minding their own business thinking they were safe in their own homes. At some point, a decision has to be made that is in the best interest of everyone involved. On a side note, I have not heard anything regarding whether or not the building had/has a functioning fire alarm system. While a fire alarm system will not prevent or stop a fire, it should give residents ample time to egress the building. I know that all transient accommodations here have to have both sprinkler and fire alarm systems, but I am not sure about residential units.

Outlaw abortion is an easy sentence. Who goes to jail and how does that stack up to equal protection. How would you justify punishing people who order the murder of adult with not punishing women who do so? Would you extend the investigative power of the police to all fetal deaths, including miscarriages? What about tort relief? If presumably you did this the constitutional way and had Congress move personhood to gastrulation (too much evidence shows it is not before that point) under its 14th Amendment power, every fetal death could involve a lawsuit. How would you deal with malpractice carriers not allowing their clients to see women until the second trimester? These are the real questions which come up. It won't be like before 73, where in most cases the penalty for abortion was a fine on the doctor, the same penalty as shooting your neighbor's dog. Luckily, even with control of Congress, you don't have the votes, but you should at least introduce the bill. Waiting for that

The baker's case is mostly about religious liberty since marriage is religious. Genesis 2:24. It was instituted in a creative capacity, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD who bound and blessed the male and female union as one. If traditional marriage was created in the Image of God, then the exact opposite is a façade giving a false appearance of the truth. And we know the Bible is correct since heterosexual union has proven true because it's how anyone whoever existed got here! But the counterfeit has reared its head through the Homosexual marriage falsehood, that has been labeled "same-sex marriage," or 666, which is just the opposite of traditional marriage in every aspect and reflects nothing but lies. From a religious standpoint, the SCOTUS does not have authority over the Image of God. Neither can it "create" a spectrum of non-productive sexes in the Image of God. This 100% indicates the mark of the beast as prophesied by Jesus. The baker must refuse to accept the mark of the beast.

Regardless of many different tax measures, increased tax spending, dollars spent per student Oregon public schools are still near the bottom nationally in educational achievement. I see no reason to believe this will produce any different results if passed. A few pennies on the dollar would be allocated to the idea of vocational or CTE classes, the remaining dollars will be wasted in support of who knows whatever else.
