Yeah Kalakoa, In the end it seems the PCDP was a sham.... at least on the CoH side of things. Hawaii is still seriously locked in the paternalism of the plantation. You'd think with the failure of the plantation system they'd be over it but not true.
The whole mentality of the county toward Puna is that they don't quite know what to do about the tens of thousands living here now. They ignore Puna as best they can and are largely successful... they will continue to be successful as long as Puna is at odds with itself. So the PCDP was an opportunity for Puna to get organized within itself and for it's own purposes.
My beef with Weataherford is that I am willing to accept and promote the determinations of the Punatics in the PCDP and Weatherford wants to undo it. At least as far as PMAR is concerned. So I have James lumped together with Kenoi, Yoshimoto and Shipman. I've always been very upfront with my opinions and purposes.

Assume the best and ask questions.
