Her home is now toxic due to the 60 cannisters of tear gas that werer used. Walls, floors, appliances - all permeated by the gas.

The amount of tear gas used seeped into everything - walls, flooring, appliances. It's a toxic situation that will cost 10's of thousands of dollars to clean up.

It's not.

Obvious that you just assumed I accepted the story at face value.

I've seen it happen in several 7-11's.
I've seen it happen in area coffee shops.
You have no sense of how often this occurs!

So let me get this straight.
Because the money is coming from the feds it's okay.
But if the money was coming from the state this would be a bad idea.
You do realize that it's still our money that's being spent.
And as far as I can determine, there have been four - count 'em: 1,2,3,4 - vehicle/deer collisions in that area over the past 15 years.
How you can be for this is beyond me.

The investigation into the officer's culpability continues.
Once the investigation is complete it will then be up to the prosecutor as to whether charges are filed.

I will not.

So tell me, have your or your wife ever used birth control?
Have you ever skipped the Easter obligation of confession, or reconciliation?
Have you never doubted a papal decree?
Have you ever questioned the Catholic church when it has decided that those who have been decreed saints were no longer saints?
Have you really held fast to every doctrine; every decree; every mandate that the Catholic church says you must?
Look to yourself and ask if we share what some would conclude as ala carte Catholicism.

First of all, why would you define marriage as merely sexual? Sex between two people who love and care for one another is not limited to the institution of marriage. Were that not the case, would there not be efforts to make illegal the physical act of expression?
Secondly, no one is asking that you embrace what you believe to be wrong, only that you understand and accept that not everyone shares your view.
I ask that you watch as the campaign against marriage equality unfolds.
I ask that you listen to the tone of those opposed to same sex marriage.
I ask that you open you heart to the possibility that gay and lesbian couples deserve the same respect and consideration and rights that others enjoy.
And if you do that with an open mind, I suspect you may indeed be moved.
