Re: “The Pet Whisperer”
frankieb appears to be about to suffer some kind of psychotic break, but that doesn't make the subject of this story any less of a fraud. She's either lying to herself or lying to her customers, and neither is a spiritually healthy thing to do.

I notice a similar theme in these unregistered comments, I just can't put my finger on it.

Who needs jaw pressure when you can cause intense fear in the hearts of your enemies?

Re: “TriMet Crackdown!”
What is the job situation for the security guards you see at, for example, the Green/Yellow terminus at PSU under? There's always personnel there, and they look trains over inside to make sure everyone got off and stuff. From what I can gather it doesn't seem they're TriMet supervisors but I could be mistaken. $400K a year is 6 guys at $67,000. If we paid $12/hr it would pay for more like 16 dedicated fare inspectors! Why the heck does a fare inspector need to know how to drive a bus or train?
Re: “TriMet Crackdown!”
Al, as someone that makes less than $67,000 a year after taxes and so on, it really is as great as it sounds. Checking fares requires no education, or particularly special abilities. Why can't they find people who will do it for $10/hr?

Re: “Stop Breeding!”
DamosA, look at fertility rates in the US, and the direction they're headed in developing countries. Check out Brazil. The world really doesn't give a crap whether you have kids or not. My choosing not to have kids isn't an "active role" in shit.
