This story is truly horrific. You know that movie "The Purge"? That's basically Josephine County, without the 12 hour limit on lawlessness.
BTW, small thing, but you should probably link to the source of the article, which is the report from OPB.
If you guys were ever this funny, I would give you respect
"sizable war chest"...was that a gaff or do you realize the perhaps unintended irony (I will let you guys decide that one, not my thing)?
It seems as though you went there with somewhat of an agenda to portray this particular group as wack jobs, unbalanced or at least something along those lines. I doubt they speak for everyone despite some of the odder people you encountered. Mercury, losing and getting your ass kicked sucks regardless of the situation. It is best to admit it and move on rather than hang on with annoying snark and whining
What the fuck is "teh childrinz" anyway? A vegan muffler shop? A new fluoride-free consignment store?
Yeah, that was me, and I was saying HELLO, not that you should care
Your Mom's got fluoride in her underpants. She's floor ridin' her junk all over the town's watering holes!
Pfft. Just take money from younger more "current" interest groups, problem solved. Wait a tick, that sounds familiar........
If you keep whining about it, they probably will.
What the hell is a Dansko?
I am going to see it but easy on the giveaways there!. Ps, I am not even sure what the hell a "hipster " is anymore despite railing against them on occasion
Thank you Aestro. I don't think people are grasping who the "No" coalition really was. It wasn't conservatives. It was hippie airheads.
"Now that fluoride has been voted down, I thought I would take a moment to tell you how much I used to enjoy reading your paper."
Wow, this issue was that important to you? Due to a couple weeks of fluoride coverage, you can't read the Mercury any more?
"I have lived in Portland for three years..."
Three whole years! Let me sit down and really stare you in the eyes so I can fully grasp the many important points about this community that you have to impart.
So, Patricia is going to limit her news intake to celebrity zingers and sex advice so as not to encounter an opinion contrary to her own. Sounds like another well-informed voter in the making.
people on both sides of this issue need to get a fucking grip.
Man, I read the post like three times trying to find it. I can't explain why "This month featured paella from Crown Paella" didn't register with me. But it didn't...
Duh, the reason no pro- people called is the reason the anti-'s won: the anti people care about this to the core of their being, and to pro people, it's merely a sound improvement to the mostly-acceptable status quo.
When's the last time anyone called to have a radio discussion about something they believed was merely a better policy than the acceptable status quo?
@Katie Napalm - yep, 65+ years of solid scientific evidence is "batshit crazy talk." Good thing we have you to set us straight, changing public opinion one newspaper stomp at a time. Big congrats to you today.
Re: “Gloaters Gonna Gloat”
Perhaps this is your cue WSH to consider providing some information about the rest of the election? Like the other two levies or the elected candidates? Not eveyone is obsessed with this stupid fluoride debate.
