Dakine, I agree with your feelings about Harry Kim. He spent countless hours in Kalapana during the traumatic times and was a great comfort to local residents. He was chastised by those who weren't there for getting too much overtime, but I know for a fact his motivation wasn't money. I also don't agree with everything he does, but am convinced that he's not a professional politician and in no one's pocket. I'm happy he wouldn't allow the Democratic machine to run him for Governor. They were just going to sacrifice him to the sharks on Oahu. Since this eruption has been going continously since the 80's, current information has always been available. No one's waiting until the last minute to inform people. I also don't think there's going to be an escape route anytime soon, because it would have to go through too many back yards and if Puna has filled up with anything, it's NIMBY's. In my humble opinion, a better strategy then waiting on government to guide me is to prepare for life without Hilo. This will obviously be more difficult for some people, but if Hwy 130 is breached, that is the simple logic of it. Get ready, or get out.
Nice aloha Greg, “Get ready or get out”. Last time I checked this is still America, the land of free speech. We have this beautiful forum to communicate with others and because you don’t agree with my position of Kim and a second route out of here, your answer is for me and my family to have to leave??
I don’t get it???
Have a bit of respect or compassion for ALL of us who contribute on this site.
I think you are rude and way out of line.
Aloha
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it cost when it’s free...now here come the taxes.....
