Aloha Nohea,
I do not believe I said Kale was angry (or mad). I found where I related his "dissatisfaction with the world's problems" (which I share) and an absence of his offering well-grounded solutions.
Note my point: my opposition to his election to County Council in 2008 is NOT about castigating Kale Gumapac the person. No way.
My take on Kale is that he has much to offer our community. Kale is a good man. In my opinion, drawn from personal and pertinent professional viewpoint, in this year, 2008, Kale Gumapac is simply not suited for the tinder box of Hawaii County Council politics.
Kale's not being elected to Council in 2008 is not the end. His candidacy is one piece of a broader scenario that is symptomatic of the beginning of something new, and, I think, better. There is much work to be done and I look forward to sharing with him the work to address Puna's challenges in the years to come.
2008 County Council election is just not Kale's time.
