Probably doesn't matter - he'll be out mowing the 4th fairway or raking a bunker somewhere on the 17th hole. Not a lot of damage he can do there.
Or out collecting balls on the driving range.

I was going to skip donating to the Christmas party this year because of Gypsy and his freeloading family but luckily that's not necessary.
This island has gotten even better!

I feel sorry for your new neighbors who will think you are a typical Hawaiian local

gypsy isn't Hawaiian. He is a haole...

I've no problem with this in general but would like to see details of what they mean by "early entry programs". I'm not sure what they mean by this, and from experience, pushing kids into fields they have no talent for or have no interest in can be counter-productive. Does anyone know more about this plan?
Early entry usually means high school seniors with demonstrated aptitudes or skills are allowed to participate in a college level class designed to help get them up to speed for college level work. I know of a high school student from Hilo High who qualified for Yale, but UH Hilo rejected him without even an interview. So he went to the mainland and is now almost a PhD. in Astrophysics. But he was denied out of hand by UH Hilo.
Here is their official statement about the TMT exceptions:

Those wars for native american lands took place a few hundred years ago and many died in battle.
Desecration and genocide are OK as long as they happened "hundreds of years ago" at the hands of our forefathers. Especially if there's a paycheck involved.
Nobody is allowed to do anything [u]today[u].

Especially if there's a paycheck involved.
Rocky Gap Golf Course and Casino was a taxpayer funded boondoggle. It was an attempt to bring jobs to a massively underemployed area in the Appalachian Mountains:
The taxpayer-subsidized golf resort at Rocky Gap State Park was a bucolic boondoggle that cost Maryland millions of dollars and never lived up to its promise as a money-making tourist destination in an area that badly needed an economic boost.
It didn't attract enough tourists so they hit up taxpayers a second time for a bailout to build a casino:
Now comes the chase, with state officials hoping that gambling at Rocky Gap Casino Resort can change the fortunes of the mountain property in Allegany County along Interstate 68.
gyspy, who for years argued here on Punaweb that foreigners (TMT workers) were moving to Hawaii and taking good jobs from locals, has moved to an economically depressed area, and taken a job Maryland taxpayers intended for a local person. The jobs at Rocky Gap resort weren't meant for someone who could afford to move 5000 miles from an island in the Pacific, an island residents in Appalachia would no doubt look upon as a tropical paradise, a remote dreamlike destination they could never in their lifetime afford to visit:

But hey, a paycheck's a paycheck on the mainland, where everything (jobs, sacredness, desecration, cultural subjugation) now looks magically different through the windshield than in the rearview mirror.
The Donner Party really wasn't that great of a party, was it?

Thanks for the clarification, Eric. It appears my concerns were unwarranted.

Bullsh*t! Global genocide is all the rage. The USA is leading the charge! F*ck the environment is it's battle cry, And you all are digging it big time! Not a soul here stands up against environmental degradation. Not a soul here speaks out against the harm corporate America is doing to the world over. Cry in your soup about a f*cking hurricane.. but piss on anyone that points out the effect of all that corporate greed raping the land from sea to shining sea.
Are you referring to yourself?
What kind of computer or tablet or smartphone did you use to type & post your message about our mute complicity?
Did you drive anywhere today? Or yesterday? Gasoline or electric?
