  1. Seems like a tempest in a teapot. Such a brouhaha over a minor editing!

  2. About time. A lot of us shoppers have felt that the stores wanted to cut back on staff, and we were doing their job! And not really getting a benefit from it. Am No surprised that theft has changed this game, too.

  4. I have watched Ali Velshi on MSNBC and appreciate his viewpoints. A thoughtful man, and a loss to us here!

  6. You got that right, it is terrifying!

  7. It’s like political affiliation is like religion, part of the identity of the individuals there. And it can drive a strong opinion about various things, right or wrong. We all do need to step back from any story and see if it’s true, if it is complete, and then decide. Leave the emotion out of it.

  8. A terrible accident, but could have been more tragic! Sad for the rescue crew that died.

  9. So, you’re ok with us continuing to burn fossil fuels, and be just ok with it all? I live in N.S. We’ve had more heat and humidity than is usual for here, the last few summers are warmer and more humid than past ones. We used to have moderate summers, due to ocean. The ocean is warming too, and we are getting different species here than formerly, great white sharks are getting sighted more often. We have experienced a severe dry period in the spring, which led to unprecedented wildfires, and we’ve just come off a a few weeks with heavy rain incidents causing flooding, again unprecedented. I just feel we cannot take a chance and do “business as usual”. And this summer has been very hot, and has caused problems for people across the planet, and food production, etc. We can’t be glib about this. It is a serious issue.

  10. Good explanation, Andrew! It is scary for sure. But, we have been warned, and we need to get really serious about turning this ship around.
