First, thank you for all of the various opinions and discussions here.
Mr. Tucker, thank you for the platform to discuss issues as they arise and grow. We are at a crossroads in Puna. Again. This is a valuable avenue for discussion, albeit tenuous at times.
For our ohana, several generations later, the mission stands: Take care of one another, agree or disagree with respect, continue to teach our keiki the basic values, ethics, and morals (no matter where you come from).
Aloha (in the true sense) to all. No matter your beliefs, nor color nor creed. Reading the various threads here provoked this post, and not to pontificate any longer, for your enjoyment, as we move forward, the following:
Kaulana Na Pua (ALL of us children of Hawai'i), stand strong and be respectful in your beliefs. As Nana Veary states, "Change We Must"...(Read her book if you haven't; it is an awakening perspective).

May Akua guide and protect us all as we pave a path for our keiki and mo'opuna. May we do it with grace, dignity, and patience. Let us all find the middle ground which does exist.
JMO. Have a lovely evening.
