May 10 Joe in Seattle commented on Why Marital Rape Actually Is a Crime.

@3: So if people have sex without discussing it they have just raped each other? That seems pretty silly.

Mar 25 Joe in Seattle commented on Car Strikes Pedestrians, Two Dead.

I wonder if that is why helicopters have been hovering over the neighborhood for the last hour or so.

Way too far between controlled crossings on 75th NE.

Mar 15 Joe in Seattle commented on Memorial for Alden Mason Saturday.

Cressona, have a look at http://artworksmagazine.com/2009/03/alde…, which will put it in more context.

Mar 7 Joe in Seattle commented on Please Help Me Save Metro Bus Service.

Since you ARE my representative in the legislature... are David Frockt & Gerry Pollet already on board or do we need to work them?

Mar 6 Joe in Seattle commented on Chinese Treasures Shipped Out of Tacoma.

Jen, re the earlier posting on which comments are now closed: "Worst Act of Anti-Chinese Persecution in American History" is probably a bit of an overstatement. Rock Creek, Wyoming springs to mind, and worse was probably done in Idaho (the state was once 1/3 Chinese).

"heir heirs" => "their heirs", sorry.

Mar 6 Joe in Seattle commented on Chinese Treasures Shipped Out of Tacoma.

@freshnycman: (1) The article makes it pretty clear that Jen believes that legally TAM is in the right, but the symbolism of what they are doing is ill-judged. (2) It's hard to guess the intent of a donor half a century ago, and this gift was given unconditionally, but it looks like her heirs would have been a lot happier if there had been a condition on the donation, such as one preventing TAM from freely selling the objects and requiring that if they were de-accessioned a local historical museum would have some sort of first shot at them. Although that's not what she did, that would still have been a gift, not a loan. So "heir heirs, from now onto eternity, have the right to demand it back" is a bit of a straw man.

Feb 14 Joe in Seattle commented on Sources Say.

So, you give them a 'sic' for writing "Scandanvian", and then you call them "Cavalry Fellowship"? I don't know the particular church, but I'd presume they are "Calvary Fellowship".

Jan 24 Joe in Seattle commented on Vote Yes on the School Levies.

@givemetheballback: because, let me guess, you never went to public schools, and wouldn't have minded at all if the generation before yours hadn't paid to maintain them.
