I suspect Bush's reticence to open his mouth has something to do with that old bit of folk wisdom about "people in glass houses who've committed a slew of war crimes" not throwing stones and all. Besides, I think it's hard for Bush to string sentences together without Cheney's hand up his backside. | 00 | not toxic |
Watching Mr. Trump "on stage" in Phoenix was actually a little frightening. IMO, I was watching an American President who seemed to be "channeling" Benito Mussolini....the strutting; the primping; the upthrust chin as he absorbed the roar of his crowd of sycophantic supporters. Watch some of the films of Mussolini, I think you will see what I mean. Trump's performance....and, it was a performance,....was about him and was designed and orchestrated to "feed" his ego. Watch it for yourself; listen to his bragging and his appeals for adulation. Then, ask yourself: Does this man seem focused on the welfare of our country or on his own ego gratification? Is this man really emotionally fit to be our President? and finally, do you really want such a man to continue as our President? Gary Crum | 00 | not toxic |

STTP...one wonders why Thomas Brandt has assumed a faux persona. The realization that his employer frowns upon proselytizing during working hours using government resources?
As for "tell us in more detail WHY Hawaiian Electric customers would have to pay a dime to convert our for-profit monopoly extortionist utilities into non-profit customer-owned and/or taxpayer-owned entities"
As stated previously "It would be helpful to have a basic knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, the UCC and the concept of eminent domain among other basic commercial concepts prior to positing."
Obviously the gentleman is blissfully ignorant of the United States Constitution. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments each contain a due process clause. Due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the Government outside the sanction of law.

I'm a professional (physician). In the process of unincorporating. There is a lot of exaggeration on both sides. I have done some pretty careful calculations....I save about $3000 - $5000/year via incorporation. I also pay ~$2500 extra in accounting/legal fees. The people who really lose on these changes are very high-priced specialists who income split with young adult children and a say-at-home spouse as well as the lawyers and accountants who have been carrying out the various schemes. Most primary care physicians will be surprised at how little they are impacted....While I do think some federal bureaucrats need a reality check (and changes to) their bloated benefits/pensions, physicians still have RRSPs, RESPS, TFSAs...one can save ~$36 000 a year using these, which if invested smartly e.g. ETFs will generate a very comfortable retirement and education paid that most Canadians don't enjoy....and if one still insists on a private corporation, there are still personal pension plans. | 00 | not toxic |

The standard of NHL hockey is the stick is used the same way hands are used....hands go up as someone approaches you for a hit, the stick goes up as well. Cross checking in close quarters is par for the course. So this reaction by the Capital to Crosby is deemed a "hockey play".
But this does not need to be a hockey play. If players were assessed strong penalties for stick work, sticks would come down....even in this reactive play to Crosby by the Capital player. So there is no suspension or expectation of a suspension in today's hockey environment. The question is whether that standard is the right one. I grew up playing hockey where cross checking was a penalty. Now, players wear protective padding on their back because of the frequency of cross checks.
I believe today's standard is inconsistent with the rules of hockey but the NHL obviously thinks otherwise. | 00 | not toxic |

. . & please, never under-estimate the I.Q. of a Kid.

Therefore, how about a whole lot less 'self-pity' in exchange for a far more 'thinking adult' -- because that's the heart-sphere that 'Parents of any suit' must evolve from -- be they Step, Adoptive, Grand, Great-Grand'.. First is the Joy of Being Oneself & then everything else is a genuine hug.

For those reserving the exact same spot, as in a public space fronting one's home, I believe a case can be made of this as it will be easy to prove. As far as the ones who reserve spaces in varying locations from day to day, I doubt HPD has the manpower to investigate each and every single incident of this nor do I think our courts should be overburdened with parking violations at the taxpayers expense if it comes down to fines, as it will be difficult to prove unless a policeman witnesses such a person reserving the space with cones, then removing the cones and parking in the space and finally testifying in court about it. So I'm wondering, if it's illegal to use cones etc. to cone of spaces, what if such items are simply treated as litter, and thus be discarded by city crews? That would be a pretty good deterrent as a 28" traffic cone retails for around $20.00, so a scofflaw using two or more of these cones to privatize a public space ain't cheap if they get discarded often. | 00 | not toxic |

As I wrote - people have an expectation that they can go about their business and activities in public and work environments without being harassed, and that expectation is supported by law. The woman was on the job, and the passenger's comments were "unwanted verbal . . . conduct of a sexual nature that creates . . . [an] offensive environment." The airline, as her employer, cannot legally require that she overlook or endure such behavior, even from the passengers. On the contrary . . . it could make them liable and vulnerable to a lawsuit if they required employees to allow that behavior.
Furthermore, I have no doubt that the passenger's behavior and behaviors like it have been addressed in the crew's training at length, because it's their job. She was not able to have him removed so readily because she was easily "offended." He was removed quickly because his behavior was much worse than just "childish" or in "poor taste," and others at her job agreed with her. | 00 | not toxic |

Richard Rhyner's attacks against Unions throughout the comments below are hypocritical, ignorant and factually wrong. Mr Rhyner is a retired (and disgruntled) city worker whose own Union membership has earned him a decent retirement. Good for him. But his incessant attacks against unions seem like self-loathing at this point.
But his factual errors are worse than his hypocrisy. He asserts that the Mayor was elected by Union voters in a backdrop of low voter turnout. This is factually untrue.
The Mayor has a mandate from the largest voter turnout EVER in a municipal election and this was a RUN-OFF election, historically low turnout elections, making the Mayor's accomplishment even more impressive.

This was part of my point. The longer one lives and is even technically adept in a cursory manner, the more one sees how tech is rarely revolutionary and more incremental. The thing is, I worked in the Globe building in the early '90s; they had a rudimentary page layout system (Harris) dating from the late '70s and an ugly but equally functional program to copy edit and partially format text (ATEX). Ms. Wente would have been familiar and presumably adept at these technologies, even though they would have appeared pretty cutting-edge to offices getting used to Windows 3.1 and WordPerfect 5.
