Speaking of Robert Zemeckis (And Amy Dickinson).
@9 For the same reason I think its a good idea to let kids have some when appropriate. Not a full glass or anything, but if they want to try a sip of wine or beer I think letting them develop a better outlook.
I would have no problem letting a teen have a glass of wine with dinner so long as they were responsible.

I would kindly tell the parents that they can find another person to watch their kids. Getting shitfaced around kids is not a great thing to do but a glass of wine (or two or three)? Who gives a shit?
I would also be a little annoyed at getting a list of rules when I was doing someone a favor.

5,335 Votes.
Actually you have that backwards. The votes are the things that count, concessions and victory claiming are simply symbolic.

Your Daily Douchebag.
Christian ideology and then spent the campaign talking only amongst themselves. R-71 might have failed had its critics offered persuadable voters practical arguments that didn't depend on religious doctrine."
Are there arguement like that? I mean aside from X deity hates the queers what else is there?

And Another Thing About the Ballot Counting.
@3, so? What's the rush. I mean yeah ideally it would be nice to know sooner, but its not that big of a deal. It wasn't even a week and in a really close race speeding up the counting will only get to the recounting and fighting sooner.
Its also not like the County is rolling in money right now. How about we keep the public health clinics staffed, restore the lost bus service, and increase mental health funding before we spend a couple million on making sure we know the winner right away.
This is not a big deal. At all.

Pyrrhic Olympic Victory: Chasing the Poor Out of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Many, if not nearly all, of the long term homeless population(discounting the people say living in their car because they are temporarily out of work), have already lost a home due to substance abuse or mental illness. Giving them another to lose helps no one.
How about we bring back mental institutions? Because the only other real alternative is to try and hide the problem.

This Week in Traditional Values.
@2 Because countries that have cultures like that are shit holes. That kind of nonsense makes having a vibrant successful economy very difficult. So they come here for all the nice shit we have then get pissy with the so called decadence.
