Yes. This story doesn't pass the smell test. There is so much left unsaid as vague accusations somebody somewhere did something that was somehow offensive. IF the crime was so bad that it drives her away in tears, it warrants reporting. But it will simply be added to the bonfire of alleged sexist crimes all men are guilty of. Why is the Globe so disinterested in the rest of the story? Perhaps because the rest of the story contradicts this part.

This management is a JOKE. With fish counts at 30k and then 15k they double the limit for sports fishermen when most people can't catch 1. They think this will pacify things since now hey people are allowed to catch more fish. Just ignoring that MOST people can't. Go back and look at the numbers and we have had MULTIPLE 100k days each of the last couple of years so don't tell me that all of a sudden it would be a huge problem. The management is destroying the runs - look at the Russian River run which has now been pushed by 1-2 weeks due to these rules and management

Let's capture this "Cajone Moment" and make it our own! Now, what this means, of course, is that due to certain lack of physical attributes--and, who knows, maybe others as well--at least two candidates should be dismissed out-of-hand (no names, on this memo...you all know who they are.)

Obviously I hit a nerve because you accuse me of assuming I own the Catholic faith and decide who should belong or not, when none of those things were in my comments, nor were they implied. As a matter of fact, I specifically stated that the Church is not ours to make as we want it to be. That is something most here on NCR have a hard time dealing with. The rest of your post above is simply mean and spiteful, and does not address what I wrote, only what you choose to imagine. You have made the Catholic Church up in your mind to be what you think it should be, whereas I choose to accept the Church as God chose it to be.

"The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18–19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith?"

I think the problem is too many people ARE doing just that; watching them. Don't get me wrong. The current crop of news avenues in our state all give us the problems. Sound bites aren't long enough for long form discussion/analysis/discussion/resolution process. I get that. But if Fink or Blangiardi or Huffington really wanted to report on the options we have to correct the situations, then THIS media is probably one of the better places to start. However, if it is frontloaded or appears to be frontloaded with a one-sided agenda from the get-go, readers may opt for other avenues for consumption. That's why Bulletin and Advertiser and NY Times et al are struggling...and losing. If da ice cream no moa taste, den nobody going buy, dey going bye.

I know it hard to understand this, but Jaded, you have no idea what my world view is. Maybe you should ask. But frankly you and the others here demonstrate clearly that citizens do not think. They react. I cannot change human nature and knee jerk judgment is just as much a part of human nature as obsessive behavior and stalking. I always look at situations in terms of long term making society better rather than casting blame which is basically worthless. I believe adverse effects can be reduced through careful analysis of situations and, which is unpalatable to many, ascribe some responsibility on all people to make things better. The perp and victim model only gets us to where we are - no further. Ever heard of no-fault auto insurance. Drivers in each accident are assigned a percentage of fault. Good system because it motivates all drivers to do everything the can to avoid crashes. Anyway, Jaded, it is amazing how people with similar objectives can tar one another.

Now he says we don't want it, yet he campaigned on it 3) He criticized Harper for raising the retirement age from 65 t 67, now he is looking for a back door to implement it.

As real scientists know there are always edges to real theories. Only in sociology are their theories boundless and unfazed by real data (that is, data with an absolute zero reference value). Likert scales need not apply. The problem is that sociologists have to over compensate and so they play pretend with other domain's theories, not understanding much about them at all, but this doesn't diminish their air of "me too want to play intellect" What school of sociology would you consider yourself part of?

If only it was "public opinion" that was being rejected. In the 1960s, the Vatican created a Commission that studied the Church’s teaching on contraception. That commission included theologians, doctors, scientists and married couples. The commission members were not radicals or dissidents, but educated and respected Catholics who took their assignment very seriously. After much study, discussion and prayer, the Commission issued its majority report, concluding that contraception was not intrinsically evil. 51 of the 55 who voted supported this conclusion, along with seven of the eight cardinals appointed to examine the report independently. True, the Church is not a democracy. Neither was the Commission. It's members were hand selected for their knowledge, expertise, and commitment to Catholicism. It's one thing to dismiss the findings of an random poll. It's something else entirely to dismiss the conclusion of respected, Vatican-appointed experts.

A few weeks ago we hashed over pre-existing conditions being genetic. I posted a link to GINA, the law that prohibits genetic testing but now check out this new development. It's in a diary at DailyKos.. "A little-noticed bill moving through Congress would allow companies to require employees to undergo genetic testing or risk paying a penalty of thousands of dollars, and would let employers see that genetic and other health information. Giving employers such power is now prohibited by legislation including the 2008 genetic privacy and nondiscrimination law known as GINA. The new bill gets around that landmark law by stating explicitly that GINA and other protections do not apply when genetic tests are part of a “workplace wellness” program. The bill, HR 1313, was approved by a House committee on Wednesday, with all 22 Republicans supporting it and all 17 Democrats oppose"

And Ideological Compromise; There is one thing Hillarycrats and Trumpstercons can all agree on and that is the fact that conservatives think liberty starts with the individual and liberals with groups of individuals. As a consequence liberals and conservatives think differently and live their lives differently because the world of left vs. right ideology is Humanity's herd mentality gene of our DNA that keeps us from evolving as an intelligent species. Liberals need to “believe” in something, just "anything", instead of just blindly “moving forward” in any direction having faith that somewhere out there is a perfect Utopia and conservatives need to dump the primal grunt of; “God” so Humans can let reason lead us to fairness and equality.
