Like DUH! A nice story about the effectiveness of new rules with only a brief hint at only one of them? Great reporting KIMA!! So ... what are the new easy to remember rules???!!!
Do vehicles that do not use gasoline for fuel pay any taxes to help maintain the highway system?
Intelligence-driven??? How about INTELLECT driven. This whole TSA thing is simply FEAR driven and ridiculous for the most part. I have refused to fly since it began. While they were protecting us from terrorists, I was robbed of $300 while trying to catch some sleep while over-nighting in an airport due to missed connections. I HATE the whole flying experience...which used to be fun.
Hahaha. You will put an end to this when you put an end to sex and adolescence.
Time for some serious sex education and civil behavior in public places. Then bring in the parents. Time for parents to do some good ol' parenting.
Kristi, it is the American Way. We jump to conclusions before all the facts are known and then condemn people on the basis of those conclusions. I believe now, and always have, that no information be released to the press until AFTER due process has been followed. In the meantime appropriate steps can be taken to protect the public when necessary. If we believe in our justice system and our courts, then let things play out BEFORE any information is released to the public. There is no "Right to Know" that I know of. We are a very impatient people when it comes to condemning someone else.
@ Whitewolf. Lots of things are illegal. Law Enforcement are selective about enforcement. Meaningless assaults on marijuana grows is a waste of limited resources, in my opinion.
@ Kevinyak. People also "need" caffeine, alcohol, nicotine all of which are legal. Why the selective decision to make marijuana illegal. May not be your choice, but it IS the choice of many. Why limit their choices. Marijuana use is less likely to lead to other illegal behaviors, I would guess, than alcohol. Shall we prohibit alcohol again? You know where THAT got us.
Yakima County Sheriff’s Office, Yakima Police Department, Yakima DEA Resident Office, Washington State Patrol, LEAD Drug Task Force, US Forrest Service, YSO Search and Rescue and the Washington State Fish and Wildlife...and just how much did that cost the tax payer??? Burning scarce resources on destroying something people want and will just get somewhere else. Did any of these folks watch Ken Burns "PROHIBITION"??? Lets just bring the stuff out from under the table and tax it!!!
Kids try things; that's nothing new. Experimenting with mind altering substances is nothing new. Adults do it all the time. One should expect kids to try it out. Maybe we should just admit we have a drug addicted society [Mexico certainly knows that!]. I know that we would like to fantasize that our kids are sweet and innocent and would like to keep them that way. Adults need to clean up their own act. Then maybe we will be the models that our kids need. Like we sometimes want to drug test the athletes and cheer leaders. How about the coaches and teachers and administrators...and maybe the cops, too.
Shortly after the Diocese of Yakima was established, it was the FBI [foreign born Irish] who filled the ranks of the clergy. Now, over 50 years later it is men from the Philippines, Mexico and Columbia. Is God not calling men from the seven counties of Central Washington to serve? Glad to see that there is finally an indigenous bishop, sort of.
