Mark Wagner wrote: "Sometimes it not convenient to recall history unless it is favorable to your argument." It was the Ojibwe that drove the Sioux south. All, Sioux, Cree, Ojibwe and so many others were eventually killed or subjugated by Europeans, or their surogates, who stole the land, animals and minerals from those that were here first. So as you rightly say, "sometimes it's not convenient to recall history unless it is favorable to your argument."

"Chat with us and talk about the upcoming opportunities that we have with all these excellent Republicans representing you and the great state of Alaska," Anchorage Rep. Charisse Millett, the leader of the House GOP minority, told the crowd, as attendees noshed on smoked salmon croquettes and crab-stuffed peppers." Meanwhile the Dems attendees "were plied with chips, vegetables, wine and beer." More CON-servative hypocrisy from the Grabbing Our Pussies party - the one that drove Alaska into its worst recession in history. Let's compare the budgets from the two pro-lobby gigs!

Yes of course, Wm A, I inferred the word 'required' before circumcision. Thanks for the informal editorial support. (Also, hope you got Monte's email a couple of days ago and have contributed to the actual and yet underfunded, pending your support, editorial and other services provided by your favorite independent journalism service to Seventh-day Adventism.) Of course Groucho has a proof-text basis for asserting his reasoning, but, sadly, not Paul's reasoning or scriptural reasoning in the opinion of men and women far more reasoned and informed than the three of us discussing this matter. We are left to listening to the Holy Spirit whispering into our individual ears. Yes, again, you are right; there is no priestly function anywhere in the universe following the slaying of the Lamb of God, who died once and for all time for the whole of creation. And, no, Seventh-day Adventist church organization is not NT, as there is no record of voting the will of God in OT or NT.

No, that money is not funding "the biggest employers we have" but forming part of a giant casino. Once the IPO is over the subsequent sale of shares between owners does not directly benefit the company anymore, its just a giant gamble on the part of share owners hoping the value will go up and CEOs who also hope they will go up to enrich their stock options.

Total ignorance. 1) GHG emissions are 100% correlated to population growth and to increased standard of living. 2) Accumulation of mileage/year on the average American car is equal to ours 3) robotics will replace muscle power in the next 50 years 4) artificial intelligence will displace the need for/dependance on human IQ in the same time period. 5) use of population growth to fund social programs does nothing to cure the disease...it just makes the problem five times larger and more problematic for the next generation. Zero population growth countries will prosper while population growth countries will suffer massive standard of living declines and massive civil discord.

interesting if true. However, it is coming from a Republican who may or may not be making up stuff as a distraction. The Republican chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee said on Wednesday some of President Donald Trump's personal communications may have been caught up in "incidental" surveillance involving a foreign power in the months after the election.

Truman used similar words to describe the atomic bomb used against Hiroshima. Apart from NK, Trump is also speaking to Iran (in particular), Pakistan, China, Russia, and various terrorist groups. Trump pulled the trigger for unprecedented attacks in Syria (after Assad's use of sarin gas against civilians) and in Afghanistan ( to kill as many terrorists as possible.) Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt are the only presidents I can think of who were genuinely "curious" intellectually. Which other presidents do you believe were "curious?" From Attila the Hun to Caesar to Elizabeth I to Napoleon to Bismarck to Zhukov, "Fire & Fury" has been the most successful military strategy. If you wish to have victory, then completely obliterate your enemy. Trump gets it. The highest probability, especially if NK actually carries out its threat to 'encircle Guam with missiles,' is Mattis' prophecy: "Overwhelming force will be used to change the regime and North Korea will be destroyed."

Mind you that budget reserve came from their share of oil revenues. But instead of using their share, they want to use our share first. The fund was created so that people would care about oil and gas issues because it would be their money at stake. Once it is gone we're out and I'm guessing the goal all along was to get us out of the way so the corrupt politicians (complete with hats) can go back to dealing in hushed bar room corners without us caring about sb21 or Aces or evaluations or leases etc...

Let's just get real honest for a minute about the F-35. It is a flying boxcar, with a bunch of fancy cameras and bells and whistles. It reminds me of the products from the US auto industry. Yes, you get chrome, and nice looking faux walnut, but if you are looking for something that will last, forget it. Stealth is a mirage. The Russian SS- series missile batteries can pick up a stealth plane 240 KM out, so it would take about 8 seconds to bring an F-35 down. If anyone thinks America is actually going to produce, or purchase, 3,500 of those things they are living in dreamland. Without engines or weapons that would amount to what, 5 Trillion dollars? They don't even have the money to keep the lights on, and if they continue on their present trajectory, they won't need to keep the lights on, because everyone will have left.

What part of Alaska do you reside? Yes it was a colder winter compared to a few years ago. -15 to -20 the coldest it got in my area. But it doesn't compare to the -30's and -40's we used to have in the past. Back then when it warmed up it snowed. Dial up the temp a few degrees as of late, our snow we used to have becomes rain. The winters I saw as a child with the cold temps and mountain piles of snow are just a thing of the past now. Whatever you want to call it, Alaska is changing.

What do you constitute "federal aid"? Care to break that down a bit? How about the big three, Medicare, Social Security, and Defense spending. Red states have more of all three in general. Which one, or all, do you consider "federal aid"? So the federal government sticks a military base in your state. Now the massive spending to support it counts towards your state receiving "federal aid"? The decision to put it there was a strategic decision of the DoD. Localities may lobby for bases because they bring jobs, but in the end its up to the DoD. Retirees pay into the SS system their entire lives. They often retire to a red state because of low taxes and sometimes sunshine. Now as they claim their benefits you count them as receiving "federal aid"?

The men stand atop two mutilated Kurdish bodies, one of them holds up his telephone inviting his audience to look at the "pigs" he has dominated. His rugged beard: out of shape, his eyes: hate-filled. He slowly raises his leg, pauses for milliseconds to gather his rancorous rage, and kicks the semi-detached head of a Kurdish fighter on the hill. "Allahu Akbar", his fellow mercenary says, "this is how you are treated by the Mujahideen," he continues. This video footage was released today on Syrian social media. It is not unique, it is ubiquitous. Since the start of the Afrin attacks, which have already claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians, multiple videos of the same nature have been released to the public. The perpetrators are almost always Turkish backed Free Syrian Army affiliates, and sometimes members of the Turkish military. Racism and Islamist supremacy are always overt, whereas sexism is made even more evidently clear when they are mutilating the corpse of a woman fighter. "Among hardline Islamists, to call a person a pig is to describe them as a dirty apostate", Ahmed Shawa, an Arab who works with the left-wing Syrian National Democratic Alliance that is based in Afrin told The Region. "It is the kind of language that the Islamic State used to use." The scandalous videos have caused such a headache to Turkish backed opposition, that the so-called "Ministry of Defence" of the Syrian Interim Government released a statement with concerns about what it called "the humanist and ethical military campaign to liberate Afrin from the militias of the PKK/PYD." "We demand a ban on telephone devices, and a ban on carrying personal camera equipment over the course of the military campaign" the statement they produced reads. To understand the ways in which war crimes are imbued with racism and sexism, we must return to the eye-opening and vomit-inducing revelations of torture in Abu-Ghraib prison by U.S military personnel stationed in Iraq. The images, released in 2003, showed bodies of men stacked upon each other. They were accompanied by vivid descriptions detailing the sexual abuse of Iraqi men made to feel effeminate. In one scenario, a middle-aged man was forced to wear woman's underwear, and as his abuser asked him if he was a "faggot", the man responded that he was only being forced to wear the garments imposed by his very captor. In another scenario, women prison guards -- collaborators in the misogynistic, nationalist, and racist spectacle of American empire that was Abu-Ghraib -- would use red dye to make the men feel like their bodies were covered in menstrual blood. The goal, as Professor Johanna Bond has noted, was to "feminize the "Arab" enemy". Today, when the scales have been tipped, many of the Arab men enlisted in the Turkish backed Free Syrian army seek to do the same to the Kurds of Afrin. And just like the women of Abu-Ghraib, so too do the Kurds have their own collaborators, including village guards and soldiers helping to invade Afrin. In one video recorded in social media, a man who is possibly of Kurdish origin punches and kicks an old shepherd, demanding he reveals the whereabouts of a secret armoury owned by the YPG. In a gesture that can be regarded as nothing but hyper-masculinist, he smokes a cigarette seemingly unfazed by an old, grey-haired Kurdish man pleading for his life. The soldier of the Turkish armed forces, who communicates to the man in Kurmanji, eventually sends the man to the clutches of Turkish backed FSA. Undignified, without honour, unclean, these and various other epithets have been hurled at the pale, immobile, dead bodies of Kurdish fighters. In one video, a fighter who has been reportedly identified as Ahmad M. Hanan, according to Journalist Mutlu Civiroglu, is surrounded by a mob of Jihadists, chanting "Allahu Akbar". The voice of a man, or possibly boy, taking the video is pubescent. "You pig, you dog" people scream as they take turns to kick his head, "Your sisters Vagina" they scream. To underscore the point "Your sister's vagina, and your honour" they shriek to a body unable to receive their racist rage. In a way, its strange, the violent expressions of these jihadists regularly alternate between manifestations of religious piety and racist rage. "You pig, you dog", they say, before screaming "Allahu Akbar". "Your sister's vagina ... by the grace of god" they chant with no self-awareness whatsoever to the religious precepts banning such behaviour. To the Turkish backed FSA fighter, the Kurd is a pig, the Kurd is a dog, the Kurd needs to be conquered. "We will conquer the Kurds a manifest conquering," says a battalion, referencing a Quran verse on their way to what will most likely be a bloodbath. The civilian is the enemy: "those who flee are in danger because they are PKK. When 15 tried to escape from us, we suspected they were PKK" said an older figure in another video. Then there was the "liberation of Qasal village", at least according to the mercenaries celebrating their occupation of a majority Kurdish village, "These are the shops of the pigs .. these are the shops of the Kako and Kako [racist term to refer to Kurds]". What has disturbed most is how this very racist rage is projected onto the body of the dead Kurdish woman. In a video that has drawn the outrage of the world, a dead female Kurdish fighter in the YPJ (women's protection units), is viciously attacked by a litany of brutal kicks on her mutilated body. Parts of her torso were dismembered from the rest of her body. One fighter approaches the body to pose for the camera, another two men debate on her beauty. "She is beautiful man.." announces one man to his fellow soldier. The mutilated Kurdish woman is also not just a pig, according to the so-called FSA fighters, but a "female pig", a woman who deserves to have her breasts stomped on. "This is our spoil of war from the female pigs of the PKK" one of the men howls. Misogyny, Islamist supremacy, and racism -- these are the drivers of the Turkish military and its FSA forces in the drive to ethnically cleanse Afrin. Operation Olive Branch at its very root is an assault on the Kurdish woman, because it is the Kurdish woman who represents everything they hate most.

A survey of Colorado voters in 2008 showed 68% overall support for a national popular vote for President. In Gallup polls since 1944 until before this election, only about 20% of the public has supported the current system of awarding all of a state's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in each separate state (with about 70% opposed and about 10% undecided). Support for a national popular vote has been strong among Republicans, Democrats, and Independent voters, as well as every demographic group in every state surveyed. In the 41 now shown on divisive maps as red, blue, and purple states surveyed, overall support has been in the 67-81% range - in rural states, in small states, in Southern and border states, in big states, and in other states polled.

As I write this, I'm floating down the Rhine on a river cruise with my wife. I'm sitting in the lounge, surrounded by Germans and Turks. We spent four days in Amsterdam before embarking on the cruise. In Amsterdam, I saw people walking, biking and taking public transit everywhere. On the cruise ship, I see people walking in circles around the ship. At the meals, I see healthier choices and smaller portions. What I haven't seen anywhere is lots of obesity. I haven't seen piles of chips and other high calorie, high fat, high sugar, etc... food being consumed in large amounts as if people are one meal away from a world wide apocalypse. Why not look to Europe for better lifestyle choices and not so much for universal health insurance choices. (We need to quit confusing health care and health insurance.) Pete is right about one thing. We need larger insurance pools, and it must include young people, who are the risk takers but are healthier in most respects.

Cannabinoid CB1 receptor-mediated inhibition of noradrenaline release in the human and guinea-pig hippocampus. We examined the question of whether cannabinoid receptors modulating noradrenaline release are detectable in the brain of humans and experimental animals. For this purpose, hippocampal slices from humans, guinea-pigs, rats and mice and cerebellar, cerebrocortical and hypothalamic slices from guinea-pigs were incubated with [3H]noradrenaline and then superfused. Tritium overflow was evoked either electrically (0.3 or 1 Hz) or by introduction of Ca2+ ions (1.3 mM) [corrected] into Ca(2+)-free, K(+)-rich medium (25 mM) [corrected] containing tetrodotoxin 1 microM. Furthermore, the cAMP accumulation stimulated by forskolin 10 microM was determined in guinea-pig hippocampal membranes. We used the following drugs: the cannabinoid receptor agonists (-)-cis-3-[2-hydroxy-4-(1,1- dimethylheptyl)phenyl]-trans-4-(3-hydroxypropyl)cyclo-hexanol (CP-55,940) and R(+)-[2,3-dihydro-5-methyl-3- [(morpholinyl)methyl]pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazinyl]- (1-naphthalenyl)methanone (WIN 55,212-2), the inactive S(-)-enantiomer of the latter (WIN 55,212-3) and the CB1 receptor antagonist N-piperidino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)- 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-3-pyrazole-carboxamide (SR 141716). The electrically evoked tritium overflow from guinea-pig hippocampal slices was reduced by WIN 55,212-2 (pIC30% 6.5) but not affected by WIN 55,212-3 up to 10 microM. The concentration-response curve of WIN 55,212-2 was shifted to the right by SR 141716 (0.032-microM) (apparent pA2 8.2), which by itself did not affect the evoked overflow. WIN 55,212-2 1 microM also inhibited the Ca(2+)-evoked tritium overflow in guinea-pig hippocampal slices and the electrically evoked overflow in guinea-pig cerebellar, cerebrocortical and hypothalamic slices as well as in human hippocampal slices but not in rat and mouse hippocampal slices. SR 141716 (0.32 microM) markedly attenuated the WIN 55,212-2-induced inhibition in guinea-pig and human brain slices. SR 141716 0.32 microM by itself increased the electrically evoked tritium overflow in guinea-pig hippocampal slices but failed to do so in slices from the other brain regions of the guinea-pig and in human hippocampal slices but failed to do so in slices from the other brain regions of the guinea-pig and in human hippocampal slices. The cAMP accumulation stimulated by forskolin was reduced by CP-55,940 and WIN 55,212-2. The concentration-response curve of CP 55,940 was shifted to the right by SR 141716 (0.1 microM; apparent pA2 8.3), which by itself did not affect cAMP accumulation. In conclusion, cannabinoid receptors of the CB1 subtype occur in the human hippocampus, where they may contribute to the psychotropic effects of cannabis, and in the guinea-pig hippocampus, cerebellum, cerebral cortex and hypothalamus. The CB1 receptor in the guinea-pig hippocampus is located presynaptically, is activated by endogenous cannabinoids and may be negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase.

Money is a big problem, but the national LP gathers it from the entire country to spend in the states needing expensive signature drives. There are wealthy libertarians who donate several thousands at a time, but no billionaire funding. The sources of the money raised for this purpose are public record, I believe, and can be obtained from FEC filings. I don't see why you assume that a national political organization can't raise the money needed to do ballot drives without help from some billionaire. We had 47 states in 2012 with no money but our own. We'd have had fifty if not for GOP scuttling of our efforts in three states. I don't want to speak for the Greens, but I have heard they don't accept large donations even from wealthy folks who completely support their agenda. This would make funding anything bigger than a state legislative race difficult. Perhaps they are now more open on this point.

Where were these leaders of industry to rail against not one black begin appointed as a partner prior to independence? Where were these noble partners who upheld the ethical standards when their clients would not "allow" black interns onto their premises? All that changed was a government wit ha different colour skin yet the skills to aid and abet wrong doers remained. We can all see the bottom of the hill and are just wondering when we as a country will get there.

It’s Throwback Thursday and today we reminisce about our trip to Gdansk*, a lovely old city in northern Poland, right by the Baltic coast. We visited the town in September 2014 and we found out that it is a great destination for a weekend trip. In case you’re efficient or don’t have much time, read on! We have all the tips you need if you only have 24 hours in Gdansk. Either way, be prepared for tasty food, long walks, fantastic sights, great parties and a one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Gdansk: A Short History The old Hanseatic city is the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland’s principal seaport and the centre of the country’s fourth-largest metropolitan area. The three cities of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot form the so-called Trójmiasto (Tricity) area in northern Poland. Here a visitor will find plenty of things to do during a weekend. Gdansk, historically located at the boundary between Germanic and Slavic lands, has a complex political history. The city has seen spells of both German and Polish rule and at two times it was a free city. Between the two world wars the Free City of Danzig enjoyed an extensive degree of autonomy, being a semi-autonomous state. It was decided by the Allies at the Yalta Conference that the city would be a part of Poland. It was here at the Gdansk Shipyard that the Solidarity movement (in Polish Solidarność) was born under the leadership of Lech Wałęsa and his colleagues in September 1980. If you’re interested in Polish history, you might have heard of the Gdansk Agreement as well as the turbulent 1980s. If not, you might be interested in reading more. At the end of this post you will find some useful links where you can learn more about Poland and its history. The Trójmiasto area consists of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot, as well as some minor towns between these three cities. With a population of over 400,000 people, Gdansk is by far the largest of the three cities. Altogether the area has a population of over one million people. It is an important centre of education with a number of universities. Travelling to Gdansk Travelling to Gdansk from Stockholm. Whether it’s quick depends on your choice of transport. I took the ferry from Gdansk to Nynäshamn once – never again, I say! We took the plane from Skavsta. The flight over takes only one hour, and if you’re lucky you can find extremely cheap tickets. Wizzair offers several flights a day. Be prepared: getting to Skavsta Airport from central Stockholm requires quite a bit of planning and possibly uncomfortable hours. 24 Hours In Gdansk: What to Do When we visited Gdansk we had a little more than 24 hours to explore the city and its surroundings. We were lucky enough to know someone in the city, so we were given superb tips on things to do during our 24 hours. Here’s what our itinerary looked like: We landed super early at the airport. We were picked up by Jesper’s friend Justyna and visited her lovely home for some breakfast before we continued onward to the old town. The old town (stare miasto) is very compact and very decorative, very Hanseatic with narrow streets and old city gates. One should at least visit the Dluga and Mariacka Streets as well as the Motlawa River Embankment. During our visit there was a Ferris wheel and of course we had to go for a ride in order to admire the view. We didn’t visit any churches but we imagine that the churches in the city are quite amazing on the inside. There are a lot of cozy restaurants in the old town and as is the case with the rest of the country, prices are very affordable. We had some traditional Polish pierogi for lunch, in a cosy café. In the afternoon we took the tram to the beach at Jelitkowo and from there walked to Sopot. Sopot felt like another world in comparison with Gdansk. The small town is a major tourist destination and there were plenty of fancy boats, clubs, bars and restaurants – especially international ones – as well as ice cream stands. The main attraction in Sopot is the wooden pier, which is the longest one in Europe. It’s 515.5 metres long. Sopot felt like a great party spot. The city is also famous for its International Song Festival, one of the largest song festivals in Europe. Dinner in Sopot – we managed to find one of the few restaurants (at least so it seemed) serving Polish food. We ended the evening with some wine at Justyna’s place where we also spent the night. We flew back early the next morning, almost exactly 24 hours after arriving. More Than 24 Hours To Spare? One day is enough for exploring Gdansk. However, there are several places of interest in the vicinity if you have more spare time for touring the north of Poland. One place that we would have loved to see is the Malbork Castle – the largest castle in the world by surface area. The Hel Peninsula would have been interesting as well. Those interested in WWII might be interested in a visit to Stutthof and/or Chełmno. Personally I would love to visit the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, Torun, someday. Last but not least, the Słowiński National Park with its moving dunes and walking trails is surely a great place for a visit. Want To Know More?

We are aware that the proper spelling is Gdańsk. In Polish it is pronounced like [ɡdaɲsk].

` Yes, it is implied, but I dislike implications within a definition, even when they are correct. And I believe a general reader may share the sentiment, or even get confused. Decades ago, before computers, it was important to make simple equations even simpler. To that aim, static equilibrium was used in some accelerating system problems, of course with the inertial forces included (the approach was credited to dAlembert). A simple example would be to determine maximum acceleration of a motorbike for a given friction coefficient (no limitation on engine power). When solved in the accelerating frame in which the center of mass was at rest, one could use torques about any point (as both static equilibrium conditions apply) and achieve minor simplifications in calculation. As I recall, one would casually refer to that accelerating frame as ``the motorbike CM frame``. Why not, the meaning was perfectly clear, and what authority might there be to forbid such usage? That being said, I am aware of the fact that relativistic particle collisions are best described in inertial COM frames. Some authors call them ``COM systems``, as e.g. in the Sears and Zeemansky College Physics. (They even claim that ``COM system`` is a relativistic generalization of ``CM system`` - people will use various conventions.) `

Matthews excels defensively at takeaways. Laine was a turnover machine. Kessel averaged a minute more power play time than Matthews which aided him. Matthews also scored 40 goals. Kessel didn't crack 30. You're the guy who goes on about the questionable value of secondary assists. How many of those assists Kessel had to stay even (or thereabouts) in points with Matthews were secondary assists?

"A task force has already been at work for several months examining whether the title is still appropriate, in response to earlier requests to do so. A final decision on that will be made once that task force reports back." Finally, the missing piece that confirms my interpretation. This was an ironic comment meant as criticism of the task force's mandate to "examine whether the title is still appropriate". Context is all.

Wherever I go in the world, people ask me about ISIS. And I advise them to ignore the endless debates about the peaceful versus violent nature of Islam and take a long, hard look at the Islamic State. ISIS is Islam, exposed in all its cruelty and ugliness, unchanged since Muhammad. The atrocities committed by ISIS are merely an extension of the atrocities committed by Islam’s prophet. The true Five Pillars of Islam are: Slaughter, Intolerance, Oppression, Hatred, and Global Dominion, because Muhammad was a slaughterer, intolerant, oppressive, hateful, and drove his armies to destroy everything and everyone that stood in the way of his establishment of a world caliphate. Muhammad said to the people of Mecca, “I have brought slaughter to you,” then he beheaded every Jewish male, young and old. ISIS immolated Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh, because Muhammad burned people alive. When the leader of the Jewish Bani al-Nadir tribe refused to reveal the location of his tribe’s treasures, Muhammad ordered his soldiers to “Torture him until you extract what he has.” So a fire was built on the chest of Kinanah bin al-Rabi. Again, when some of his men resisted Muhammad’s planned attack against the Byzantines at Tabuk, the prophet commanded that they be burned alive in the house where they were meeting. ISIS enslaves and rapes women because Muhammad did, even when he took a six-year-old little girl as his wife and consummated their union when she turned nine. ISIS mutilates and crucifies men, women, and children because its prophet did. When ISIS hurled a homosexual man from a tower, and the crowd waiting below stoned him to death after they saw that he had survived, they were only following the example of their prophet who stoned homosexuals. The only difference between 1,400 years of slaughter by Muslims, who follow the practices of Muhammad, and the carnage carried out today by ISIS is that today’s atrocities are broadcast throughout the world by social media. Unexpectedly, social media has also made ISIS a blessing to the Muslim world, enabling Muslims to see the true face of Islam. Hatred is what your religion requires of you, not just ritual washings. Slaughter is what your prophet demands of you, not just daily prayers. To follow Islam is to commit your life to jihad, to the destruction or subjugation of all non-Muslims in the name of the god of Islam. But thanks to ISIS, you can free yourself from the lies of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al-Jazeera, if you have the courage. They cannot protect you from a western conspiracy, because there is none. Your enemy is Islam, not America. When you recognize that ISIS is Islam, you free yourself from the naiveté of world leaders who tell you that ISIS is an anomaly of Islam, leaders that, I am sorry to say, include US President Barack Obama, who told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria recently that, “There is an element growing out of Muslim communities in certain parts of the world that have perverted the religion, have embraced a nihilistic, violent, almost medieval interpretation of Islam.” But it is those who deny that Islam is “nihilistic, violent, almost medieval” who have perverted the religion. ISIS is Islam. Religion by the sword. Religion by intolerance and violence. Religion commanded by its prophet to conquer the world, behead apostates, mutilate thieves, crucify nonmuslims, and stone everyone that engages in sexual relations that disagree with Muslim laws and practices. ISIS has torn the mask from Islam, giving the Muslim world a choice for the first time in fourteen centuries. Choose Islam, and you choose ISIS, because they are indistinguishable. Reject ISIS, and you reject Islam, because they are one. ISIS must be stopped, yes. It is a threat to every nation’s security. More than that, it is a threat to the evolution of human consciousness. But it is not the sole problem of America and the West. It is, first and foremost, the responsibility of Muslims and Arabs. And the armies of Jordan, Egypt, UAE, and others are well equipped to deal with it. Western intervention will only create more chaos and reinforce the illusion of a Middle East/Western conflict. Like Libya and Yemen, ISIS is a tribal conflict, not a political one. The Islamic State is the Sunni backlash against domination and persecution by minority Shi’a Muslims in Iraq and the ruling Alawite minority of Syria. Islam hates everything that is not Islam. And just as fresh water and salt water cannot flow from the same spring, love and goodness cannot flow from a religion that is established on hatred and violence. As long as Muslims refuse to take a strong and aggressive stand against terrorism, they must share responsibility for the continuing atrocities. The hour has come for every Muslim to choose to be human or inhuman, noble or criminal.

Sadly JEN BROWN, probably not, it's like the John Kennedy assassination it seems, and Evan Ebel was the perfect Lee Harvey Oswald if one has to chose the shooter from inside the walls! Guy was bugged up with bats in the belfry, and a violent enigma his entire incarceration before being let out mistakenly early. Maybe Jack Ebel and the governor both were played without their knowledge they were played, who knows? Did he act alone, maybe, or were other things afoot? In the end, we will never know, the truest loose end was unwittingly tightened up and chalk-lined in Texas.

So the problem still exits..... Now address the increasing premiums associated with the ACA and the reasons why there is only a sole provider in Alaska. (Hint: it isn't because ACA implementation in Alaska is a good deal). Alaskans will continue to pay higher and higher premiums for the ACA not to mention Medicaid consuming an increasingly greater portion of the budget every year.

Unlike some, I wasn't the beneficiary of 'affirmative action'. Instead, I went into the military out of high school and competed in their semi-meritocracy with those of white, black, brown colorations and several in between. I have since competed in college, law school, and various occupations, including additional military service, where white people were working with or for--- again, those of white, black, brown colorations and several in between. I refuse to blame or credit my current situation on your bogus claim of 500 years of unswerving hatred as you do. I don't know why you hate so much. It's truly sad.

Nithya Thiru, no one is trying to shutter PP, just stop sending them my (our) tax dollars. Those of you who want to support them, simply send them a check. My tax dollars already fund all the non-abortion services offered by PP through the ACA insurance exchanges with their tax-supplemented plans. PP is a private organization, they shouldn't be receiving public funds no matter how much good some think they do.
