Aloha Puna!

[Anthony Marzi]

Aloha everyone!


Thank you for the interesting and provocative discourse. Rob, I really believed that I answered your question; but I guess I’ll just have to try harder!


I do not believe that marriage should be associated with government at all. In fact, marriage was originally converted into a state function to prevent inter-racial marriages in the Southern United States. Since its inception by the state, the function has been continuously used to discriminate against and alienate groups and individuals.


Although I believe in traditional religious marriages, I support the right of everyone to receive reciprocal beneficiary rights (and all similar rights) with any other person (regardless of background or personal life) outside of the civil contract of marriage. I hope this addresses your question.


Damon, I posted a response in support of HB2675 on my blog. It cites position paper from the American College of Physicians regarding the efficacy of marijuana for medical use. I would like to see this bill reintroduced.

I will deinitely remain an active member of the Punaweb forums after the election. I have had a chance to look at the other forums and really enjoy the discussions relating to our communities[]

Damon, I will address the other issues you brought up in the next post as I have to get going in a second here.

I am off to the CDP meeting with our council member, Ms. Naeole. It should prove to be an exciting meeting!


I am holding an event at the Leilani Estates Community Association on July 31, 2008, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. I hope all of you can attend and ask more questons there!


Mahalo and take care,
Anthony Marzi
