EDIT:
"Plus, go back and re read my post.
You've misquoted me."
So,1V1, there are two common ways to denote direct quotes;
using these thingamiggigies called "quote marks", that look like this, "...."
or to use italics.
Sometimes, as above to begin this post, one uses both.
When I quoted you exactly, "Lipstick Girl", I used the quote marks.
When I paraphrased* you, (e.g. Hilo elites, new representative for Hilo), I didn't.
While you may sincerely wish to discuss Bill 160 the negative elements presented in your original post has led this thread down a cul-de-sac of criticism. Casting aspersions and false claims is no way to have anyone with "knowledge on the subject" be likely to respond.
And it's interesting that you questioned AK's "toughness" when replying to another post. According to the T-H that was essentially the message that defaced AK's sign "only da strong survive". Maybe that's a thing with the young woman, that people doubt her mettle.
One interesting feature in the article is that the writer has placed the apostrophe in O'Hara, which all of her campaign material lacked. I know you can't put that punctuation mark in a URL but there are no other areas of publishing (e.g. ballots) that restrict it's use. I always found it questionable that she chose to leave it out of her campaign name. I visited the Ohara region near Kyoto and sent our children to Dr. Ohara in Hilo so I'm aware of that spelling's antecedents. And I'm aware of the value of ethnicity in Hawaii's political history. If anyone might have changed their name to a better benefit it would have been someone named "Kierkiewicz" running in Hawaii.
Oh, sorry, am I hijacking this thread ? It is about Bill 160, and truthfulness....
