The Bicker Board

[HiloJulie]

However, I was speaking of a predominantly "black"...

Being clear again, I am not discussing the singular use of the word "black." Nor am I discussing the singular use of the word "chick." I am discussing the use of the term "black chick" and even more importantly, the use of that term against the actual woman I was discussing.

How about we all cut each other a tiny bit of slack - maybe reset - and try to put some energy into things we all do agree on? 

To that, I say "Amen, my brother or sister!" I do remember when you once said this to me:

Yeh. I can just imagine the big wigs at HECO sitting around the Koa Wood conference table in the boardroom and sitting in comfy leather chairs each with salaries north of a quarter million a year deciding on a Power Point slide to send out about conserving power due to their complete mismanagement of their power generation and distribution system when one junior executive says “by all means, whatever we do we can’t piss of the 2,668 EV owners, so let’s tell everyone to turn off their air conditioning and don’t feed their kids and don’t do any washing of clothes!”

I see a big promotion and raise for that junior executive!

LOL I was editing my post as you posted. You make good points and with good humor.  If it was political, it was not an effort not to piss off the EV owners IMHO.
