What is the harm in children believing in Santa? Is it any worse than believing in any other thing that you cannot see?

"...nearly half surveyed (48 percent) prefer the additional revenue come from the general excise tax. " I'm curious as to why everyone is preferring a GET increase? If residents believe that by raising the GET they won't be footing the bill, they are sorely mistaken. A rise in GE tax would only pass the burden on to residents. Companies will not foot the increase on their own, they will pass the burden on to the consumers (most of the time, the increase in pricing will not be proportional to the % increase in tax i.e. you will be paying for the increase and then some). The state should pursue other options mentioned by Caldwell, including calling on the federal gov. to "pony up" more in contribution's proportionate to the cost increase and calling on the private sector to contribute (see Ala Moana), being that they will be receiving some benefit from the rail.

Agree. And "the Church" could - each on their own - ask that a Mass be offered for the president's conversion, offer their own work well done for the victims of his administration, offer a skipped meal quietly for the staff that has to work for him. They could offer their "pizza" not ordered and send the money to some Church in the Philippines. There are hundreds of things "the Church" can do to help the people of the Philipines. And most of it isn't the too easily "called for" bully pulpit that so many people here seem to like to point to, without lifting up so much as a Memorare on their own, 7 days in row, or some other slightly more arduous prayer offering. Make pronouncements for others to act...forgetting the prayer is the more powerful instrument of action.

RTH: when you say that “they admit that not one vote was changed by the Russians,” you are repeating a popular but totally false Republican talking point. The January 6, 2017 consensus report by U.S. Intelligence agencies, titled “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections: The Analytic Process and Cyber Incident Attribution” very specifically states that the agencies DID NOT investigate whether votes were changed. The agencies, which you refer to as “they,” did not “admit” anything about the changing of votes. Here’s exactly what the report said: “We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election. The US Intelligence Community is charged with monitoring and assessing the intentions, capabilities, and actions of foreign actors; it does not analyze US political processes or US public opinion.”

Albertan with a PhD in resource economics here: we are paying for the climate-change denial of previous governments and senoior advisers/strategists. Anyone with an education level higher than grade 6 understood the science behind global warming and should have seen the writing on the wall during the turn of the millenium (=unsustainable oil industry, we should have divested and moved investments to renewable energy like solar, geothermal, biomass). We (=generation X and older) made poor political choices and now we have to start the painful transition towards a more sustainable economy, a transition that needs CO2 taxes and economic incentives towards more resource-efficient technology.

"Better a public pension fund that supports us rather than a tech or oil company that ***** us." Unfortunately, since they avoided saying specifically WHICH public pension fund(s), we can assume it isn't CPP because that would be amazing PR which they would trumpet to the highest peaks. No, instead it is very likely public sector employee pensions which means that everyone (rich, poor and in between) will pay to enrich the lives of people on the higher end of the spectrum. In my opinion, forcing people who make 25,000/year to pay more so that people who make 100,000/year can be even better off is "******* us".

<They would never have opposed the appointment of a new FBI director> That's very naive, at best; but since it's also speculative (we can not know what might have been), I won't belabor it. <any investigation would have proceded exactly the same with or without Comey, or with a new Director or acting Director.> Even if that's true (I think it is, more or less), that's not the point I made: the point was that had Obama fired Comey, Trump and the Republicans would have accused him of trying to influence the election. I think Obama can rightly be criticized for being overly sensitive to that. Firing the Director does not stop the investigation; by firing Comey, Trump probaby gave the investigation a boost. But Trump has been clear that he's trying to impede it; he's just too dumb to know that he can't, not in any significant or lasting way. (The White House is not Trump Tower.) I don't know whether his bumbling attempts to interfere rise to the level of obstruction, but we'll find out.

I don't know which Leafs fans you are referring to but I doubt whether any of us are making assumptions about making the playoffs given the nature of the opponents that they have to play five times in seven days to finish off the season. They include the three best teams in the Eastern conference and what is likely to be a full strength Tampa side which was good enough to make the cup final last season. That won't be easy. What relevance does the past have to this though? In case you hadn't noticed, the current ownership and management have not been around for ten seasons. I had misgivings about Bell and Rogers taking ownership of the team but, to date, they have allowed the managers to run the show and agreed to pay big money to deal with the mistakes of previous management. The team has now cleared the deadwood and is way of ahead of where they would be expected to be at the end of last season. The previous seasons are irrelevant; what matters is how they have played this season.

Roe v. Wade is not going away. Not even if he winds up appointing a couple of Supreme Court Justices, a not unlikely possibility. Putin is going to try to take over the Ukraine and keep the US from putting missiles in Poland and other nations next to Russia. NATO states are the ones who are going to have to accept primary responsibility for the reaction to that position. The US does not have to be the lead on it either. 70% of the US claims to be Christian; only 15% claim to be agnostic or atheist. The odds are many of his advisors will not be agnostics or athiests. Neither are Obama's. How many of the death's in Libya can we blame on Obama? He and Hillary went for 'regime change' and caused the deaths of Qadaffi and his sons.

Sure, the rule of force is a law of nature, but not the only one. Finding and preserving an ecological niche in which to flourish is more the rule than force. Also, other species don't colonize an area, cut down all the trees, slaughter the indigenous animalia into extinction, pollute streams and lakes and the air itself, overpopulate it to the point of exhausting available resources, and then justify the omnicide in the name of "progress". Civilized humans have always figured human "difference" from the rest of nature in terms of self-knowledge, however. And this difference has been trumpeted by civilized humans as a basis for religion, science, commerce, technology economics . . . What you're saying is that Europeans can be forgiven for the genocide of the First Nations because they were only acting naturally.

" the role of Zionists in the Bolshevik/Communist revolutions" Veritas, to be clear, Zionists did not play a major role in the Russian Bolshevik revolution-- they were opposing ideologies, which is what Churchill meant by the struggle for Jewish hearts. Jewish activists had to choose between the Zionist dream of a happy Jewish homeland in Palestine or the Marxist vision of heaven on Earth following a Communist/Socialist/Anarchist revolution in Russia. Indeed, many Russian Jews, particular those of a more secular background, chose Bolshevism. Many others, however, were leaders in more moderate, democratic socialist organizations in Russia, as the Mensheviks. It's ironic that while many of the leading Bolsheviks were Jewish, Stalinist Russia became cruelly anti-Semitic. Additionally, many of the early Zionist settlers in Palestine were also socialist, resulting in the famous kibbutz communities.
