Before the sung Ordinary Form Mass at St. Edward's in Newark, CA (and much else that parish had going for it) got tossed aside by a new pastor with an axe to grind, the Latin ordinary of the Mass would often be punctuated by an English hymn of Tallis and sometimes also Vaughn Williams if my memory serves me correctly.

Mr. "We couldn't possibly build enough mental health facilities and grocery transport means to fund these people, but we sure as hell need these illegals who pay ZERO TAXES, ZERO DEBT, and can commit crime while evading identification." should never have been the mayor.

It may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes."

One reason that many Georgetown students feel Love Saxa should be defunded, is because the pro-choice group on campus is defunded. H*yas for Choice (they cannot use Hoya in the name) has been kicked off campus and defunded. In the name of the Jesuit principles of equality Love Saxa should also be kicked off campus. Upholding one group and defunding the other doesn't make sense, if you defund one you should defund the other

"Oregon has seen a 50% increase in annual roadway deaths since 2013" B.C's statistic of the week!

According to BikewPortland.org January 13, 2015 "Traffic-related fatalities statewide rose 9 percent in 2014, to 352. That’s up from 313 in 2013. It’s the highest number since 2009. 56 people died walking, up from 52 in 2013 Six people died bicycling, up from three" B.

The only thing that makes me smile is that he's taken a very public position on all of this so it's easy for me to just enter the URL into the Wayback Machine so everyone remembers where everyone stood at the time. Anyone who believes that "fake news" is actually "news" is someone who is completely and utterly brainwashed by mainstream news propaganda. There is no other explanation. This is only "news" because they say it's "news." You only believe it because they told you so and no other reason. You would not have otherwise arrived to this conclusion independently. You would have simply recognized click-bait and something that's always been there and ignored it. This "story" demonstrates the pervasiveness of media propaganda.

The hazard concerns about asbestos have been known and reported since the mid sixties, and likely much earlier. In spite of this, government and business were behind this industry. Many were gagged from reporting this hazard. I know a person who knew of this issue relate to me of watching workers removing asbestos from government buildings contaminated, wearing no protective clothing or breathing apparatus, and knowing these workers would die from this eventually. This happened in about 1967. From raw material to manufacturing to shipping to installation, it was hazardous for workers coming into contact. And eventually lethal.

It's not that complex. Holiness is hard, the pursuit of virtues too is hard, but both are rather simple. Racism is just another vice, an ugly one to be sure. But it is certainly less ugly than killing our own offspring. It's less ugly than adultery in fact. It's really really awful, but it's less awful than these other things I've mentioned. It has a sort of fashionable "valence", that allows some people on both sides to take umbrage with. Focusing on it, sort of give some people a comfortable distance from having to work on their own nagging defects that are disrupting the REAL here and now relationships they have with their families, neighbors, and co-workers. So (the topic) can distract us from the HARDER work of personal holiness. It sort of gives people air cover to be seen as on the higher moral ground. "I was at the protest...see Facebook picture I posted!!" But if we're honest, it provides cover for some to not focus on cleaning up their own defects and vices.

Nobody’s talking about the symphony or the AGO or what their policies are.” I know Joe, I know...why just last year I was at the symphony with the nude cellists strutting their stuff, and the AGO's showing of Jewish caricature art from the 1930s wasn't protested at all...double standard I say....you're bang on with your "suspicions" ...

Everyone is forgetting to mention that in Europe, Europeans are the native indigenous population. Aside from that, I'd have to say that thus far all evidence shows that UK and France got it all wrong and Hungary, Slovakia and Poland got it right.

I will do my best to find the articles I mentioned from the New Yorker to provide them for you. One of them is about a particular prisoner who studied the law while incarcerated, and began - in prison - a service to file an appeal for a new trial based on evidence withheld by prosecutors, or discovered after the crime (such as DNA or the recanting of statements by witnesses) that wasn't allowed to be entered into the court deliberations. That inmate had some real success in doing this work, and once he gained his own freedom using the same studious methods, he joined with an existing legal project doing the same type of work for individuals wrongly convicted. There are so many procedural errors made, so many cases of prosecutors refusing to reconsider the case in view of new evidence, and so very many cases of poor evidence gathering by police, it makes one cringe at the failures of our legal system.
