Getting back to burglary and larceny in HPP, I think we all agree that it is a serious problem. We all also agree that the police are ignoring the problem. They follow the money, and all of the grants and federal largesse is devoted to drugs (not prescription drugs -- you are welcome to those no matter how dangerous they are once you have a prescription). I think we can also agree that larceny is not a treasured cultural tradition we want to nurture in the new Hawai'i.
I've read that if you buy a new waterpump in HPP and leave it unattended, it will be stolen. Wow.
I do believe that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Liberal, and conservative, middle of the road, and undeclared, I think we can all agree that Hawai'i government needs to be more responsive to the needs of its citizens.
Of course, part of the charm of Puna is its disconnect from anything resembling civilization. I think the challenge will be in maintaining the live and let live attitude, while nurturing a culture where you can leave the doors unlocked, the water pump in the yard and still find everything where you left it when you come back.
That might be Montana! In the meantime, I think that Rob's back ache is attributable to the fact that he has carried a lot of Puna on it for quite awhile! Meetings, websites, master plans....whooh. Take TWO valium tonight!
Can I snap a thread back to topic or what?
