Pol Pot, Mao and the current Myanmar Buddhists certainly missed that no-kill zone. 80 million transcendent souls in a constant state of flux.<br />Roundup your yard and get rid of them mosquitoes. Throw some Sodium hypochlorite into all those old tires laying around your yard.<br />Da Hoos and his young Fistees will be a political group to reckon with. And it would be a good thing if Mel and his other do-nothing Council members got a whiff of what is happening on the island. Most young voters are against Big Ag (its cool to be an anti) and virtually all of the new-comer, raise the drawbridge folks are Anti/Closet Fistees, as well.<br />JoAnn, Da Hoos, Baby Hoos and Felicia could get elected. These 4 will really f*ck up the island. Imagine, bike paths out of the kazoo, hundreds of empty buses. No Ag on the west side, no new housing for the locals. And Hawaii Life realators selling all that land. A perfect bonanza.<br />We get the government we deserve, but today's Council/Mayor take the cake. The County is rolling in money and still the Council/Mayor appears to be in the hocus-pocus of passing the GET increase. Smoke and mirrors.<br />How can Da Hoos, da big Fistee himself be the ONLY Council guy to take a hard stance on NO GET raise? Ross seems to be against the GET increase, but he could easily change his mind. Excise taxes hurt every one, but especially the poor and fixed income folks. Maybe Gary is really a hero?<br />And then there is JoAnn Yukimura.. who fears some folks may make some money off of the CPR law she is considering. How much did Ms. Yukimura make when she created one of the FIRST Anini Agricultural CPRs....2 million? <br />Oh yeah, now I remember...JoAnn Yukimura put 2.2 million in her pocket selling her Ag CPR. But then she is a paragon of virtue, so it is OK. The GET increase she loves so much, won't hurt her or her many wealthy friends.<br />Great Balls of Bynum, Batman.

I sometimes fail and compromise my principles, but generally my belief is that LIFE is LIFE. Its true for humans, animals, plants and insects. It is all sacred in a sense. We should treat life with respect, at least. While I realize that some life has to take other life to survive, I think mass, organized killing (even of bugs) is the wrong way to go. Pesticides exist and will continue to exist but that does not mean my dumb heart hurts a little with every poisoned bug or bird that eats a poisoned bug. <br />Much like I know war is a reality and we may sort of need the Halliburton's of the world, I don't have to like or trust them.<br />I feel the same about Monsanto and the other companies who manufacture deadly pesticides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-49973171718809046452016-02-09T12:00:56.836-10:002016-02-09T12:00:56.836-10:00@11:18AM - Maybe you missed the part where the Mon...@11:18AM - Maybe you missed the part where the Monsanto pediatrician provided a link to where you can read independent studies, conducted by scientists and doctors who do not work for Monsanto.

It is obvious to anyone with just a grain of intelligence that Monsanto employees are the most knowledgeable and credible about the safety of roundup. And I am also sure that working for Monsanto does not have any affect whatsoever in the objectivity of their findings. Monsanto is an honest company well-known for their integrity.
