With the Sounders in place, you're going to find it even harder to do. The fact is that Seattle is pro-sports saturated. The Hawks, Mariners, and Sounders are the three teams, and Seattle is a three-team town. If you want to start small, put a D-league team in Key. If ...

Electronic does not make something relevant. It just makes it easier. Bravo to them sticking to acoustic methods. Electronics are simply a shortcut, and make things all the less special and less talented. Who wants to watch people play Rock Band? Stay electronics-free!!

So are you saying that it is the fault of churches that they not teach their way out of a market? Churches are a business anymore, with few exceptions. Their product, mainly, is a Sunday pep-talk. For this, they drive emotion, enthusiasm, and idealism into the HEARTS of their congregation. ...

I am not religious, and I cannot fathom how people believe what they believe. But I also fully support and defend their right to believe that stuff. What confounds me is that people try to put religion into government. All religions should be entirely opposed to government interference, and yet ...

Thank you for leaving out the heathens that are the Sounders supporters. Nevermind that they have set the bar for community involvement around the league, you go right ahead. The Storm are a great story. Your omission simply shows you probably should focus your writing on what you do know, ...

Without the Needle, Seattle is just another P*rtscum.

"The marketers have risen to the top of the decision making structure," he said. ^ This is dangerous in EVERY organization.

Hyperbole. Churches betray the sole, period. Religion is to be a personal matter. Churches should be taxed, and taxed equally, if they are selling anything. A "real" church doesn't sell anything. "Real" churches don't have gift shops. And in the end, it is the government that is protecting their right ...

What a pile of fish guts this article is. I'd go through piece by piece and tell you how each point is self-serving drivel, but it's a waste of time. Here's what needs to be said. Yes, officiating has been bad. Talk to Jim Joyce about that. It's one thing ...

The one difference to me about the past and the present is that this time, we are our own worst enemy most of the time. Unfortunately, we've changed from a republic representing the People, and morphed into a republic of the Corporation. We need to as a nation stop accepting ...

There is no journey; and in a way, death is when everyone left must reconcile things. Putting your mummified body in the ground in a wooden box of some stature is selfish. We live, and then we die. It is finite, and there is no "final journey". Your journey ends ...

This law has little to do with race. This is about calling out the Federal government for doing absolutely horrible job with what it is charged in the Constitution with doing; securing the borders and controlling immigration. Setting up a system of guest workers to get them in the country ...

Dear Pepper, The Bible speaks often of the morals put forth by those who *wrote* the Bible. If one is to believe ancient script, God only wrote the Reader's Digest version of the 15...... oops, dropped one.... 10 Commandments. Otherwise, the rest is all about the morals of the named ...

The Monotheistic Conundrum. If god doesn't care, god is passive and does no good to those who follow in this regard. If god does care, he is on the side of whoever is doing the preaching. No one preaches, "we hope god is on our side, and if he's on ...

This isn't a national brand, it's a regional treasure. This is nonsense. When someone comes to Seattle, what are the odds they go all the way down to Tacoma to see most of the stuff at the museum? Not as good as going to the Needle. What backwater thinking...

The answer is simple. Beck is selling himself, and he thinks he's more important than "god". For those that believe in Christianity, and I'm not one, I do know that Christians believe that there is an anti-Christ. This is pretty simple; people have joked about Beck being the Anti-Christ, but ...

Reasonable argument, bad logic. The rancher in this case may or may not have been negligent. It doesn't mean that the rights of all ranchers should be changed. This is why gun control fails. If the rancher had been shooting at the hikers, they'd have charged him with attempted manslaughter ...

I can't tell people I'm atheist. I'm afraid I'd lose my job. If I could, I'd tell every religious person to wake up and realize you only get one shot at life, so make the most of it. But I can't. If I were to say to people that believing ...

I don't mind any of the retorts, save "Sean". This is a surprisingly rational discussion. I would suggest in general that the wars prior to WWI were generally accepted as a method to expand geography. They were dangerous ploys, but wars always redraw maps. In that era, it was politically ...

I'm sorry, but this is hindsight crap. There is a measure of truth to the statements, but the self-righteous and indignant statement that most wars could be avoided is self-serving and with the benefit of looking back in a way that no one has. Of course, if we have a ...
