I expect the Supreme Court will let the Appeals Court ruling stand and may not even accept the case. The voters cannot overrule a constitutional issue and I believe marriage is an example. Pick a southern state from fifty years ago and the peoples vote would have upheld the back of the bus rule. In today's environment, would that have been okay?
Ms. Elaine, having respectfully read your letters over the years, I would like your opinion. When whites were permitted to marry blacks, was that a redefinition of marriage? Looking forward to your response. Thank you.
My belief is that this administration is trying to paint Ms McCormick with the same paint brush as was used on the Maine Turnpike, however all we have is the paint smell and no paint is actually sticking. I think the above letter is very explanatory and sounds reasonable. Keep up the good public service, Ms. McCormick.

Josh is currentgly registered to vote in MINOT. If he moves to Houlton, how will the two day before voting registration in Houlton prevent voter fraud? IT WON'T ! It's a scam. It's correcting a problem that never existed.
Now, a different scenario, what if Josh shows up in Minot on election day and the nballot clerks cannot locate his original registration, he is prevented from voting.
Don't PREVENT people from voting, ENCOURAGE and SUPPORT the right for same day registration/voting.
Apparently you can find no valid comments to make about the original article or to Mary Ann Larson's letter about the article! I found her letter both interesting and informative.
Is this one step in the smaller government that is being proposed by the ruling party or is it part of their program to create more jobs? What is the benefit of this change? Just asking.......
Tell that Parrot that Doctors who use the word "practice" understand that there is always something to learn, always an improvement learned, always a newer and better way to save lives and finally, there is a saying that "practice" makes perfect.
I have seen these two perform and they are amazing, both with their experiments and in Early Evening Shows and specials at OddFellows Theater in Buckfield. Excellent programs and safe for FAMILY entertainment.
Eleven year old's are old enough to understand that they are a special interest group and ..... well ...no, on second thought, maybe just explain that he needs a "time out' !
Can Aanyone share with me the definition of a "Special Interest Group"...is the Tea Party one? Are pro-abortion groups one? Are anti-abortion groups one? Are pro and anti death penalty ones ...OR are just some of them "Special Interest Groups" ? and...how can I tell which is and which isn't ?
Re your mixed message. When I first went into the Navy, it was the blacks that people like this Captain picked on, later it was the females, and now the homosexuals. You suggest this is the proper way to raise morale? Exactly whose morale is raised by this behavior since the military, in spite of don't ask don't tell, consists of brave blacks, brave women and yes, brave gays. That type of morale raising is wrong, wrong, wrong. Did I mention, it is wrong.
As with any well thought out SCAM, the way to the truth is to follow the money. How many LePage children are attending Florida college and Dad & Mom LePage pay the low "resident tuition " rates rather than higher non-resident tuition rates. And there are more financial benefits. FOLLOW THE MONEY ! REPORTERS: Do your job !
The problem, I and many others have, Reverend Taylor, is that PREACHERS pick some of the scriptures to direct us to obey and yet totally ignore many of the other scriptures. It leaves the appearance that a PREACHER has decided what THEY believe and ignore any scripture that doesn't go along with their particular individual believed. Sorry I couldn't elaborate more, I have to attend a scheduled stoning of one of my neighbors.

Ever hear of...LIFE, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? LIFE at times requires medical care no matter how hard you try to prevent disease or disability. One side would walk away from a sick child and keep the money ninn their wallet while the other side supports health care. You were clear in your comments which side you chose. Hope I'm as clear.
Have a nice mhealthful day.
Lacey, I agree with some of the comments about your story and support marriage equality. I spent many years in the military in support for equality for all our citizens. I would like to add that no one wants to uproot marriage between a man and a woman but I support love between two of the same gender and they too should have a right to marriage.
The letter writer is correct, equality will come in time. I think when we look back on the struggle for equality for blacks and the struggle for equality for women we thought the average voter was not as enlightened or educated as we are today and it is difficult for many of us to understand how with todays availability of information and education, we can find so many people who just don't care that others do not have their full rights.
Taxpoor...I grew up on Cary Hill which is on the Hartford Sumner line in Oxford County...far from Bangor. The owner did not live there, the story says he lives elsewhere but was staying there overnight. Not all of us old fahrts have cell phones. I was up there after the tornado and the whole top of that hill was a disaster. It is beautiful up there with a panoramic view. Great place for a kid to grow up.
Hakim, take a deep breath. An accident has to be reported by the fastest possible means. If someone had a cell phone, that might be the fastest. If they DIDN'T, perhaps driving a short distance to one's home and using a land line might be the fastest. Let's not convict anyone in the press. Have a little more faith in the investigators and let them do their job. Just my opinion...I could be wrong.
