"The United Nations is a corrupt institution of dictators and demagogues." This paints a distorted picture. The UN General Assembly is the sum of the world's governments (more accurately, their executive branches), and so has corrupt members. But the UN itself operates by a kind of one-state-one-vote democracy. The institution is better than much of its membership and often does irreplaceable work. It also shines a light on its members and is a beneficial influence on them. It needs to be improved, for instance with a strengthened link to the world's citizens through a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly.

Where are the sane? Where are the politicians urging summits among the nuclear nations to disarm from this madness? Americans seem to have become used to impending disasters...which are ignored and/or denied...like climate change. Of course there are those who welcome our destruction...like the Armageddonists who have another, unseen and invisible realm all cozy and ready for occupancy as their private and exclusive bomb shelter in the sky. But mainly, there is too much money in the military-industrial complex...which feeds on the fear spread by "statesmen" such as Sen. Dan Sullivan. The political parties have purged the sane from their ranks And the populace is so confused it can't figure out that our missile defense system likely couldn't even stop a sputtering North Korean missile...if North Korea were that stupid and crazy to lob a nuclear-tipped one our way. Sure, "It's the economy, stupid"...but with these larger (and therefore incomprehensible) disasters...no economy...

I have a lot of experience with the American database of street addresses and standardization. I will guarantee that Trump will find a lot of voter fraud if you do sloppy data work. If you feed the software the minimal criteria such as just using the last name without the first name. The problem with the American database is that you can have a large number of people with the same last name living in the same local area. You need to use the street address or Social Security Numbers. It will also depend on the software you are using. To process 200 million records will require specialized software. You can't just import it into Excel or Access and try to find duplicates.

"Socialism: From those who have, to those who need." Which has nothing to do with safe zones, protesting, or professors (allegedly) offering extra credit to do so. In other words, you threw the word in where it didn't belong. That's why it was said that you don't know the definition (which, BTW---what you just spouted is end stage Marxism, not socialism). But, I get it.....you have it in your mind that UC-Berkeley is the only public university.

It is interesting to note that in 2013, according to the Lund Report on executive salaries, former CEO of Providence Health & Services of Oregon, Gregory Van Pelt, as receiving the highest salary of $4.3 million. Now I have no idea what Mr Lamoureux is paid no can I find that information easily, but it seems to me a "non profit" label appears to be a pretty big scam. At least for the management. Now I certainly do not intend no disparage Mr Lamoureux personally nor suggest that he is not due an adequate compensation for his knowledge and expertise. However, when facts are presented, 'all' the facts need to be presented. According to Glassdoor, a Physician at Providence earns $200k per year. An RN $38 per hour. These are reasonable salaries depending on qualifications. However they are a long ways from even 1/2 of what the CEO in Oregon was payed. So all of the community services and give-aways are great, but those numbers are not the entire picture nor the entire costs!

I have mixed feelings on this. Things are smoother than I expected but traffic is WAY down. I do not understand why the city is unwilling to release traffic counts; how hard is it? I do not see more bicyclists; I still see at least a third of the bicyclists using the sidewalks, and people in cars are doing bizarre things: using the handicap ramps as entrances and exits to parking areas, for example. And we've had our first three-car pileup; this is not mentioned in the article. It's too early to judge, I think; but we should at least be gathering data - including traffic counts on alternate routes - and enforcing proper driving and biking.

By that standard - we only pay for what we approve of morally, then people can choose not to have to pay taxes for wars on moral grounds. This results in a governmental collapse not religious freedom. For democracy to stand and uphold everyone's right to worship as they wish, we all must compromise on things we don't want to pay for but the majority believes is necessary to pay for in order to uphold equality and keep the peace.

Interesting that you recognized that nations planting flags where others already lived AND CONTROLLED would be considered rude (to say the least). Yet, you think that Mexico owned this area when in all of the area that is today's US, they never had a population CLOSE to what the native Americans were. Texas came about because they somewhat controlled it ( while they were still minority controllers, they had the most land of any place that they would ever control ), they brought Americans in to stop the Indians from raiding them (basically, they were setting Americans up as cannon fodder; this is why Americans rebelled there ). So, no, we did NOT acquire southwestern US from Mexico by military means. We did prevent THEM from acquiring control though. America actually gained the southwest by being part of the American Indian Wars, which lasted some 400 years.

Look, there are some sites that make it clear that they will tolerate no dissent (e.g., Church Militant, DailyKos), and I don't have a problem with that.

No, Lynn, the establishment of income and estate taxes is proposed in order to do what almost all other state governments do, keep the government running, not sustain the PFD program. Hammond warned that the legislators and executives would spend all that Alaska earned from the oil extraction and sale if it were not protected. He was right. The corporatists tried to do that from day one. The PFD program was designed to make the people the actual protectors of the fund and its' long term value for the state. So far that has worked. If the legislators want a smaller dysfunctional government rather than an income tax and cutting off the state subsidies for the most profitable industry in the world, let the people have it and feel the pain. But do not mess with the Permanent Fund Dividend program. It is a successful virgin concept and when you allow it to be invaded once, it is no longer inviolable and will simply be raped by avarice and greed.

Mr Trump may be a buffoon but this constant drumbeat of negativism over everything associated with him is getting boring. The old administration lost track of the needs and wishes of a huge part of the American population and is being booted out as a result. The new administration is going to try new ways to save and create jobs for their constituents. That will naturally offend those elites who liked running their own show in their own way ignoring the unsophisticated masses . But they had their chance and now someone else is getting a chance. Blindly shooting down everything proposed and every personality involved is rather naive and a highly presumptuous. And did I say: boring? Read your own Report on Business where the need where we are constantly told that change and experimentation and creativity and empathy for customers and staff are brilliant things. So now all this is taboo? Mr Trump should just deliver the same old pap? Come on. Give me a break.

Those are political terms and apparently some reporters are too ignorant to understand the difference between religion and politics.Or they are blatantly biased and ceded their journalistic professionalism for the sake of editorializing. 4.

Hi Joan. OK, simply delete the words "no longer." Still, the point remains that, "although he was in the form (essence) of God he did not regard equality with God as something to be prized, but emptied himself, taking on the form (essence) of a slave, being found in the likeness of humans . . . , even to death on a cross." The constant problem is that the passage does not fit into the substance theology of the Fathers, so they mostly ignored it. My contention (see The Empty Christ of Philippians: Mahāyāna Meditations) is that emptying self is the main idea. The mind of Christ empties selfhood, which is why we are to take on this mind. The ancient and medieval substance theologies were skillful in their times, but today hardly anyone embraces their categories as live options for us. So many theologians are attempting to rethink the mind (and nature) of Christ "from below," i.e, from a phenomenally sensitive approach. Start with the gospel Jesus, not with Greek ontology.
