Re: “Bicycle Master Plan on "Think Out Loud"”
Blabby - remember a few months back when they repaved Alberta? Remember the chaos that caused? That wouldn't have been needed if more people were biking (or, even better, walking) around instead of driving. The roads would last longer.
But anyway, that's tangential. Removing parking off Alberta isn't in the Bike Masterplan, anywhere that I've noticed it at least. What is in the plan is ways to get the bikes off busy streets like Alberta and onto new parallel bike boulevards like NE Going. So I take it you'll be supporting the plan then?

F**k all Republicans. 90% of the population should change absolutely to accommodate the whining of 5% of the population. Nothing at all. Move to Kansas.
Re: “The Future of PDX Media: Of Ethics & 'Randyland.'”
Kind of repeating a comment I put on the WW website, but still:
I've never been enamored with Randy Leonard. His tactics, and sometimes his principles and priorities, mark him out as probably the second person I'd want kicked off city council if only there was a decent opponent (I'd maybe get rid of Amanda "I don't like this so I'll just hold it up by crying about process instead of proposing an alternative" Fritz first).
But that article in the WW was disgusting. Bringing up his family life is only excusable if it exposes hypocrisy and/or corruption, and this didn't. It was just an exercise in flinging enough shit against the wall in the hope something stuck. The kind of valueless, immoral, vile bullying that even Randy would never dream of stooping to. I ended the article actually liking Randy Leonard more than when I started reading it; to follow the old adage, if he's made an enemy of someone like Jackass, he must be doing something right.
It's overdue time for someone to investigate precisely why Nigel Jackass is on this crusade against Adams and Leonard. Time for a bit of his own medicine. Start with the "conflict of interest" angle, and go from there...
Re: “Gunman in Tualatin—Four Shot”
Graham - I'm not getting into that one... It's like debating religion, no amount of facts and logic ever change people's minds (because they can all be interpreted in different ways), so it's pointless...
All I expect is (as with religion!) that people realize and respect that there are opposing opinions out there.
Re: “Gunman in Tualatin—Four Shot”
Well I'm of the opinion that shooting someone dead is murder / manslaughter, no matter what the reason, and is never justified. I know that puts me in a minority position in this country, and it's not the kind of thing that it's productive to try to change people's minds about, but there you have it.
Re: “Gunman in Tualatin—Four Shot”
This wasn't a robbery. It was a domestic dispute that happened to take place at her workplace.
And if you feel like shooting someone when you get annoyed, you should be locked away for life.
Re: “Gunman in Tualatin—Four Shot”
Huh? You got annoyed with a computer store and a sewing machine store in Tualitin, and hence you can empathize with someone who shot and killed their other half in what appears to have been a domestic, on the basis that it happened in the same city?
That's not a leap of logic, it's an ocean-sized gap...
