Thanks for the link. So 2010 was only the largest run in the last 100 years, and it was followed by a 20+ million year in 2014. The years from 1910 to 2000 were quite low....roughly in the range we've seen for the last couple of years. Let's see what 2018 brings. | 00 | not toxic |

Mr. Cunningham, I'm glad the state is finally dealing with one of the drugs that Alaskans abuse to the point of addiction. However, stating that opioids have the same pain killing effectiveness as acetaminophen and ibruprofen is ludicrous. While I agree that both generics are powerful drugs there is no comparison with opiates if any strength. If you truly believe they're comparable, then opiates should be available over the counter, as Tylenol and Advil are. | 00 | not toxic |

I wonder how much life expectancy has changed over a much longer period, say 200 years. Back then northern housing was built with wood, mud and animal fur. There was no education, no health care. The only food was what was grown or killed locally. Over the last 200 years I expect life expectancy has increased far more in the north than in southern Ontario. | 00 | not toxic |

The London bookies have a better track record. Latest odds I could find was May 2016.
"Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win in November at odds of 4-11, according to the online bookmaker Ladbrokes — meaning you’d have to wager $11 to win $4.
The New York City tycoon, meanwhile, is a 9-4 underdog, according to the bookmaker’s website."
"So whom do the oddsmakers like for vice president?
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who was the last man standing against Trump before he quit Wednesday, comes in at 4-1. Right behind him is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 6-1, according to Ladbrokes."

The PFD comes from the earnings of the Permanent Fund which was created by Hammond to keep the dirty politicians hands off of the money.
The dividend is meant as a check on corruption.
It was a way to pit collective greed against selective greed.

It's been lamented that the time and expense to reinforce basic seamanship skills have been sacrificed for more intensive tactical training, which implies far greater reliance on electronic sensors and computers than ever before. Even in the US Navy, there is no such thing as a limitless budget or limitless time.
I suspect this accident will be attributed to something as simple as not following the "rules of the road" by failure to yield the right of way. Publicly accessible resources now strongly suggest the USS John S.

The way the 5th is interpreted today, gives an extraordinary killing power to a single individual. That is does not conform to the principles of democracy to have equal representation under the the law, nor is does it meet common sense standards for safety of the public. I don't fault the founders, they simply couldn't know the lethality of weapons 200 years in advance.
For those who feel their hand weapons provide safety against a foreign nation or even a domestic political tyrant, guess again. Match your hand weapons with targeting missiles or nuclear weapons and you are playing a fools game. We have both covered with a standing military and internal civil law.
The 5th as it stands today hands over extrordinary killing power to individual citizens to do with as they please. There's nothing democratic about a lethal weapon in settling any conflict. It's a life threatening risk to the owner, their families and their neighbors and should be regulated. | 00 | not toxic |

The Democrats are a coalition of bureaucrats, welfare recipients, and unions who use force and coercion to get money from everybody else. The unions protect their own.

You don't have to have a college degree to start or run a small business, but many small business owners make several multiples of what Phds with liberal arts degrees. Who's smarter?

Three things:
1. Get an FBI investigation going immediatly to find out where the money went. Can't move forward until that obvious theft is stopped and prosecuted. Do this by carrying large signs at this next meeting and get the cameras to film them.
2. Get rid of all the crooks, starting with the Mayor and the Gov. Dump them no matter what. New blood is needed.
3. Force them to reveal everything and do a forensic investigation by the FBI.
4. Stop allowing these crooks to talk. No more promises and delusions. It is time to put up or shut up. Nothing else matters at this point.
That's it folks. It starts with a complete reversal of all that has happened up until now. No more BS, no more taxes. Just the facts. That is all we need. And the facts cannot be given to us by the crooks. It needs to be the FBI. Wouldn't it be funny if the FBI can claw back several $Billion and the train can get finished with that money, rather than letting the crooks keep it. | 00 | not toxic |

That's fascinating. If you're a Christian you must know the Bible. Biblical prophecy says that the destruction of the earth will come about through humans enacting the will of Satan. It says that the trees will burn, the oceans will die, that men will faint in terror at the storms, among other things like pestilence. It also says that if God had not stepped in, there would be nothing left alive on earth.
One of my favorites is from Job:
"Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war?"
Job 38:22-23
Another from Daniel says that knowledge will increase and the people will be highly mobile, unlike anything ever seen before.

The bold innovation needed is a fair distribution of the fruits of higher productivity.
The Industrial Revolution, followed by Henry Ford’s groundbreaking assembly line approach, rendered the six day work week a five day one. With better wages.
This was possible because less human capital was needed to produce higher output. Business realized that without a reasonably paid workforce, there would be insufficient demand.
We need to re-learn this lesson. A burger flipping robot isn’t any good to anyone unless someone can afford to buy the burger.
When the 1% realizes that they need to share the largesse to make their own lifestyle sustainable, increased leisure time and wages are sure to follow. Until that time, I think we can expect a certain amount of turmoil. It’s happening now, with the waves of populism sweeping Europe and the US. | 00 | not toxic |
