    This is probably pointless, but I'll try anyway:
    To put it simply, if you go all the way to the far left, you get complete government control.
    When you go to all the way to the far right, you get complete corporate control, enabled by government.
    Surely you're aware of corporations that benefited from and aided the Nazi regime?  https://allthatsinteresting.com/major-brands-nazi-collaborators
    This is not ignorance - it's the way the political spectrum works.
    No matter who you are, what you believe and which politics you lean towards - extremism and fundamentalism are dangerous beasts.

    I love how the alt-right try to paint Nazis as "leftists". What a efing world we live in now.

    Mine is easy:
    50. The NFL - totally done with that league

    40. MLB - just completely stupid (all teams are equal, but some are more equal than others)
    10. Any hockey that isn't playoff hockey (I have a faint interest in Jets' regular season)
    0. NBA - have never cared about it at all

    In rural areas you will often have pockets of small classes - 8 to 12 students.  A  19.8 average means there are high numbers in the core areas - 30 to 45 students. Highschool teachers most often bear the brunt of that.

    Personally, I don’t believe any Canadian government is going to build a pipeline. Harper might have, but not any of the current leaders.

    I partly agree - but how was anyone going to save 100 000 jobs in Alberta?

    When I visited the Grand Canyon I was amazed how unprotected it is.  But it keeps it natural.  
    I have a few pics and videos of myself dangling stupidly over the edge too.

    A study found in a 7-year period, 259 people worldwide died while taking selfies. More than 70 percent were men, who researchers said took more risks to get a dramatic shot.
    Tech giants have promoted a culture of selfies and social media is full of daring photos taken at great risk. The rugged 277-mile-long Grand Canyon makes safety rails impossible in many areas.

    She stays because the optics of Trudeau forcing her out would probably be the final nail in the Liberal coffin.

    Cut too thick as well, and not double-fried (or not fried long enough).

    Faith Ekakitie has made me wary of college guys who couldn't earn a starting roster spot. Boateng at Fresno State is another this year. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but I'm not raising anyone's stock just because they went to school in the US.

    So, he doesn't seem like a guy who could go the NFL route - might be a good pick if he's still there in the 2nd or 3rd round.

    Outstanding talent at a critical position - the years when we didn't have quality OTs can only be thought of as depressing.
