    I get pissed off when I hear a coyote yapping all night! I cant imagine police cars and helicopters ruining my beauty sleep!

    Our neighbor keeps ducks. I sometimes have to stop and wait for the ducks to cross the road. That's it. Other than that, I just go. No traffic. No problems. Just go.

    I believe that's a problem with both ends of the spectrum.

    I've spent enough time in a city to know that it becomes background noise. A coyote yapping breaks a silence. In a city the background noise is so muted (inside) and so constant that it just becomes like white noise.

    Ya, after a month it starts becoming background noise and hardly noticeable.. But that 1st two weeks is tough... Another thing that's notable is the night sky, stars are so much more brighter here then in the city..

    Let me suggest that being judgmental is not the problem.
    Do not be indiscriminant; "I don't judge" is not a noble claim. Good judgment is a learned and perishable skill. Those who do not exercise good judgment in all things are those most likely to condemn whatever they don't condone. Condone very little, condemn even less. Judge all things, and tolerate most of it.

    For me, it usually breaks down like this: I condone about 2% of stuff. I condemn about 1% of stuff, and I merely tolerate the other 97% of stuff. And again, don't be indiscriminant. Use good judgment at all times; otherwise, you will wind up condemning whatever you don't condone.

    Republicans want the minority to control the majority?

    I say one vote should equal one vote

    your vote equal what my vote is equal too, no more, no less

    This domination of urban people over rural people has completely destroyed the way of life in Oregon, Washington and Colorado.

    Are you only able to think of yourself and others first and foremost as members of groups, rather than as individuals, or do consciously make that choice?

    That's a very globalist way of looking at things. Why would a small state want to be in the union? Or in your globalist mindset, why should a small country be part of a globalist government?

    I assume your state has a government, and probably even a governor. This means you can do all sorts of things at the state level that you want, while other states can do things a bit differently. If so, then wouldn't it make sense to strip the federal government of powers that you would prefer your own state have?

    Driving certain businesses they don't like out of business. Driving people off their land with high property taxes. Building on farm land, land use planning that penslizes rural land owners and their traditional used.

    and then what... do you think hillary should have won in 2016? be honest, because more people voted against her than for her, a total of 71 million in fact, ergo the majority would still be ruled by the minority...

    your whining carries no weight...

    The problem is that there are people in other states with the lust to dominate the people of your state. And they pervert the general government to do so.

    Is it their "lust" that "perverts the general government", or do they actually do something?
