It's kind of mind-blowing to me that we have all this whinging and moaning about glyphosate and other agricultural chemicals, yet when Department of Health proposes that we begin eliminating cesspools - of which the Big Island has tens of thousands - and those cesspools are contaminating the groundwater supplies that we are almost totally dependent on (for pathogen-free water), they run into a firestorm of resistance. They have chemical data that shows some of the makai wells are pumping mauka p!ss - but not a peep from our good legislators on the island... Willful ignorance and criminal indifference to real public health threats while they squander time and resources pandering to PC Paranoia.
