Beachboy, while i agree on the micros, they are not the only pacific islanders who have had assimilation problems. They have been steeped in pc welfare since the ww2 and and because of nuclear testing have been resettled enough times to have lost all their cultural knowledge in an exchange for monthly checks forever.More kids, bigger credit card and house. So now the fed is tired of making direct payments and sends them to hawaii to lighten their load. I'm betting the guy from micro who was busted for throwing the rocks, and nearly killed a kid in a car will get a wrist slap because he was drunk and an immigrant. Others get 10 tries because their daddy was mean to them. When a young girl can get hapai at 16, get signed for a credit card, get a house, medical,auto insurance etc., and have another kid and get a bigger house. This has been a scourge to the whole country, there is a free ride. This only encourages bad attitudes. Look at it on the brightside, at least those people were working, if they're litter pickers, mabe they think their giving someone job security. Incidentally, here on oahu ns from mokulea to kaena point, the town campers come. Very many, stuck in town all year, and suddently in the wild(to them). the 2 manini dumpsters serving the mile long beach area for 3 days. Meanwhile from haleiwa to sunset, trash cans are everywhere and litter @ rubbish picked up twice daily all weekend long. Also as my wife says try to find a local face from laniakea to sunset store, nada one! The slogan here is "keep the country country"! !0 years ago my father in law kept a string of horses and some cattle, staked out all around on vacant lots on pupukea heights, the one acre subdivision Zoned ag1. While saving the turtles (previously soup or steak), the surf and the land,no more chickens (noisy/bird flue), plowing (because of dust), backyard slaughter(for imu) imu(with 2 week written permission from a fireman who will answer complaints about it. Plus only until rocks hot, no all night fire.) no junkyards(one still car qualifies), and of course pigs(if safeway doesn't have it you don't need it.
I see the chicken ban coming to to "keep puna rural", what is the rule for burning when clearing? And how about the anti copter petition trying to ban all tour overflights over puna and the eruption , costing a bunch in revenue loss for the whole community. And we're supposed to demand this? Read the chopper petition carefully, traffic control with set boundries and altitude direction control, over the subdivisions to the park. The park can make it's own rules. This banning overflights completly including the park is a slap in the face to many workers! Sorry for the ramble, but you don't take away a man's millstone!
