I'm on Oahu and obviously not completely in touch with things Kauai, but still... I assumed you would be sued. It's inevitable.<br /><br />In our system of democracy, if a jurisdiction bans same-sex marriage, they get sued. If they permit same-sex marriage, they get sued. A state legislator over here will happily spend as much church money as he can gather to fight the new state marriage equality law right up to the Supreme Court.<br /><br />From my distance, it seems to me that you are sorting out how to defend your law. And that will happen. Somehow.<br /><br />Or let them spray your homes and schools with pesticide. You had a choice and you made it. Now, take a breath of fresh air and decide if you like it.<br /><br />It's unfortunate that large companies and rich individuals can spend as much as they like to control our government at any level, but if we don't defend the laws we want then we will not have them, they will have laws that they like.<br /><br />I guess what I am saying is that there is a choice to be made--figure out how best to defend the law or breathe what they want you to breathe. Usually, the jurisdiction defends using its own council or hired council, on its own budget. But whatever.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742098296808508617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-40759035383363656562014-02-13T20:24:43.798-10:002014-02-13T20:24:43.798-10:00Anonymous said...

Not to mention the "angry woman" Shaylene Iseri making her pre-election cameo to blast the County Attorney's office for spending so much on outside counsel before likely launching her bid for a seat on council in this year's election. I mean come on. The reason the County Attorney's office needs the additional money is because these same jokers (council and Shaylee) are the ones that have run up the cstly legal tab. Bynum, Pasion, 2491, and a number of employee complaints against the former prosecutor. Maybe council should have their own legal budget if they continue to recklessly put their political agendas ahead of the best interests of our citizens. Yes it is time to "pay the piper" in more ways than one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-54702668445730939802014-02-12T22:33:35.833-10:002014-02-12T22:33:35.833-10:002014.02.12 - 16:32 and 17:56,

And, no, she is not bullying, intimidating and silencing those who disagree with her. Rather, she is pointing out factual deficiencies and logical flaws in the public statements made by the red-shirted Hooserites, criticizing their disingenuousness, and questioning the effectiveness and appropriateness of their tactics.<br /><br />No doubt, her biting wit and sharpened pen hurt. However, what separates "character assassination" from "holding people accountable" is backing up statements with facts. You may have missed it given that fistees have an aversion to facts, but Joan includes citations.<br /><br />Though it pains me to help you out, you really would be better off internalizing her critiques. After all, by her own admission she remains an opponent of the seed companies (for no good reason mind you). Keep her on-side and once y'all are through this rough patch she may let you ride her GMO-free unicorn (17:12)!<br /><br />Joan,<br />Thanks for the comic relief (Full Disclosure).

For that alone, we all need a Joan Conrow in every community. But Joan is going far beyond that. She's engaging in personal attacks on non-politicians who do things like write letters to the editor or who are active members of the community. In other words, engaging in vendettas against anyone she disagrees with. I believe that it is intended to bully and intimidate and silence anyone who disagrees with her. The power of the pen.
