Unfortunately someone with integrity would feel compelled to be, to some degree, truthful about the conditions here on the island - which would be the kiss of death in today's media environment. As long as the candidates mouth the appropriate platitudes, then the "professional" media won't question or challenge any of their purported solutions or programs. Nor will they hold them to account when those few programs that they actually follow through on, produce nothing of value... Kim has been spouting bullsh*t for 20 years, and our local media dutifully publishes, without question, whatever nonsense he cares to mumble.

And pretty much the same can be said for most of our elected officials - look at the recent news from Kauai - a member of their county council was actively involved in the meth trade... Imagine that.
