Everyone has different feelings about what is "Feel Good" and what is important.
TO MANY OF FAYES CURRENT CONSTITUENTS.... THEY PERSONALLY ASKED HER TO BRING THIS POI BILL TO THE TABLE... Trust me on this.
Obviously this Taro Bill concerned enough people... That the big money people Brought in Monsanto folks from around the world in an attempt to block this Bill.
If you followed any of the Hearing on Taro Security... you will know that this hearing lasted more then 8 hours alone and had hundreds of people testify and Thousands of people writing letters on both sides of the issue... So it obviously meant something to someone.
Calling the Poi Security bill a "Feel Good" bill is a slap in the face to the Hawaiian Community... I hope Kahunascott will ask Fred About that Bill as well.
Fireworks has been kicked around the legislature for the last 12 years that I can remember and effects many people, customs, and general attitudes of many people.
