Essential First-Step Neglected Brings Abuse Of Channels.
(EUGENE, Ore.) -
“First find out the facts, then figure out what they really mean”. That’s long been the paramount controlling, shaping and most significant step for millions of Americans who respond to the world-famed American“right of free speech”.
Public opinion -- most powerful operational component for democratic consensus on policy and performance for the commonweal-- depends on honest, accurate citizen understanding of realities.
The man was transported to the hospital by helicopter.
(EUGENE, Ore.) -
Police say a Medford-area man was seriously injured Sunday afternoon when his motorcycle collided with a sport utility vehicle southbound Interstate 5 just south of the Brownsville interchange.
After impact, Makin says the motorcycle and rider both fell onto the freeway and traveled nearly 300 feet before coming to a stop on the right southbound shoulder.
The suspect was charged with being a Fugitive From Justice, Felony Attempt to Elude in a Vehicle, Reckless Driving and Recklessly Endangering Another Person.
(EUGENE, Ore.) -
Oregon State Police troopers arrested a man wanted on a bank robbery warrant out of the Pocatello, Idaho area Friday afternoon south of Cottage Grove, Oregon following what they say was an attempt to elude on Interstate 5.
"The man's attempt to flee ended after police deployed spike strips followed by a tactical vehicle intervention technique to get the car stopped," OSP Spokesman Lt. Gregg Hastings said.

When police raided Bill Conde's Redwood Lumber yard in 1998 I was forced to wait, under the guard of Linn County (OR) sheriff deputies, while VALIANT (Linn County's interagency drug task force) searched the office and hauled off our computers and business records.
The negative publicity and loss of customer info, inventory data and pending sales cost Conde's an estimated $100,000 worth of lost business in the last 3 months of the year - Bill’s best year and one we hoped would reach $1 million.
A former marijuana user; Obama says there will be no quarter for the herb under his reign.
(EUGENE, Ore.) -
So... Mr. Obama doesn't think that legalizing cannabis (marijuana) is a good idea and we aren't going to go there? Huh. I can't say as I'm shocked. I will say that I am disappointed.
As a former pot smoker himself, the President should realize that while his pot smoking didn't disqualify him as a candidate for the highest office in the land, a conviction surely would have.
“Noise Machine” Seeks To Manipulate Public Opinion.
(EUGENE, Ore.) -
The Internet and its rapid growth of open channels has become an easy-shot target for the Far Right “noise machine”.
That creates deeper, further dangers to honest, open, democratic dialog of which many participants should be fully aware --in simple personal defense.
