I do not get "excited" when people spread misinformation...like Aaron has done. I am more concerned about truth than excitement.
Now, Aaron back-pedals and says "our county officials have taken the first step in banning GMOs"...when he actually titled this topic "Big Island bans GMOs". See my issue here? Maybe Aaron should retitle this thread.
Truth is where it's at, and the spread of misinformation is what is "sad". Let's all be more careful about the information we spread.
PS... I may even be on Aaron's side of the GMO debate (or not), that is not my point here. The truth is.

Wa, I bought on a dusty road and expected someone else to pay for paving it already. Wa.

I fully agree with you about misinformation and misspeaking. I stood corrected, you've quoted me on it. I am not fighting or arguing this fact you brought up. I change, self-corrected, and will carry-on how normal people learn and evolve from mistakes. I was not hiding nor negating it, merely excited to share this news.
This bill has passed the first step in our islands. What is a first step but the most important, my truth seeking friend?!
Also, I didn't know I could change the title, but now that I know differently...I shall.
If I need more correcting, please I encourage it. But no needless banter or straw-man arguments picking apart a word or a reasonably insignificant contributing fact as the main meal.
