Offensive is a relative term, and in this case, one must make several leaps in one's mind (away from the intended food-related usage of the term colonial) to deem it offensive. Plantations grew coffee too. And churchill was a widely respected man. Nothing in history is perfect and you can find offense in just about ...

Scott Woodham: When I went to my activity I saw that I got a reply, but there isn't a way to jump to that reply that I could see.

Uber doesn't exist in Eugene because of the city council. Maybe that attorney is working pro bono (for free.) There's nothing so sweet as a city counselor owing one a favor. Sort of like a campaign contribution for a candidate with no opponent.

So, Betty and "elderly" people like her can't walk, ride a bike or catch a bus. Betty demonstrates that the "elderly" can't drive and follow the law at the same time. I've been behind her on the road--she can't drive safely when she is going straight.

I agree on the re-test. I've had my ODL since 1962 and the only 'test' I've had to take since is an eye test. I think a re-test of laws and driving should be mandatory at age 50 (where the eye test comes in now) and every 10 years thereafter. That would get us old fogies off the road if we're incapable without our...
