I don't think the point of this system is to try to "weed out the people that [whoever] doesn't like" — it's to improve the social climate so that people can discuss things like reasonable adults, even when they strongly disagree, instead of throwing insults at each other like a bunch of two-year-olds who aren't quite...

Does this mean no one will be explaining how their friend's mom allegedly earns $27,000 a month by doing something unspecified (but we're assured completely on the up on up, and absolutely fingers crossed swearsies not a scam), on the internet?

The best answer to explain all this is Preferential Treatment. Hmmmmmmm.... what is the count now? Maybe someone can help me out how many citizens in just the last 12 months have made the front page of the RG who were sited for allegedly failing to yield to a pedestrian?

“I apologize that I was not aware that it was illegal for me to dig [without a permit].

So last week, Culture editor Martin Cizmar crapped all over Springsteen. And, now—with nary a mention of that—this rather unimaginative review is the best that you can offer? I suggest that you instead head over to The Oregonian and read the review posted there. It's really much stronger work…

We need a sustainable budget before the election, not later, and I hope the governor will keep calling legislators back until they finish Alaska’s work. If there is a called special session, legislators won’t be allowed to campaign while the legislature is in session.

Oregon used to allow 16-17 year olds to marry but raised the age to 18 years old in the 1980s.

Remembering how fickle my girlfriends and I were at that age, I think keeping ...
