I'll apologize for taking Damon's bait, islandliving. You started the thread with a question and a personal statement of friendship, and then it got derailed. Again, I'm sorry for following the train off the tracks, and if my doing so caused you pain, that was wrong of me. I had no right or reason to interrupt your personal issue to follow a stupid political argument.
I deleted my post above for those reasons.
Aloha! ;-)

My condolences to you, islandlvng, and Gary's family. The young woman who works with me knew Gary also and she told me yesterday what a wonderful spirit Gary had.

"... Leigh said she considered going north with Poretsky, but opted out of the trekking trip because she feared he would get into trouble searching for marijuana. Noting Poretsky had been diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder, Leigh added he smoked pakalolo for self-treatment while in Hawaii and suffered when he had to stop using the drug while in Thailand...."
What a tragedy. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Another casualty of the drug prohibition laws.
When will we learn?
May his memory be a blessing.
Aloha,
Lee

After carefully reading these posts, for you to summerize it in that fashion is horrible. [

] Look how it started out. Look what you turned it into damon. Does anyone else feel disgusted about this persons interpretation of things? You pointed the finger at something that was your feelings, it wasnt the truth. Not in anyway relavent to what islandliving was asking. You are a problem starter here and hope that when i need help in a subject, you dont subject me to that. You should work for fox news.[

] Or Bush[

It is very difficult to lose someone you were close to. Reading through the posts, there is no malice intended, just sometimes we tend to be less tactful in our responses to a tragedy like this. At this time let's not get sidetracked with putting each other down! My condolences to Gary's family and friends.
