Why then death and failed re-election bid make Bynum and Hooser so? The proceedings of 2491 prove otherwise. Both were rabble-rousing agitators who conspired with Furfaro and Yukimura to appoint Chock to have a super majority to override the mayor's veto.<br /><br />Hooser's Hawaii Center for Food Safety has paraded bullshit, fear-mongering speakers against biotechnology, catering to the scientific illiterates on this island. He is owned by outside interests as indicated the huge amount of campaign funds raised on his behalf. He continues to mouth off their lies and innuendos.

That further proves how close minded antis are about differing opinions. That being said, it would be a breath of fresh air to have Felicia take a tour of Monsanto's seed farm. In lieu of that, she could watch videos of the Monsanto Seed operation on Bronson Kaahui's Youtube channel. However, I know full well she will do neither; because, it's easier to make up the needed facts as they wage tier war on modern agriculture. Even when presented with evidence contrary to their claim of rampant sickness, they still tow the company line, and believe those lies are a matter of cold hard facts. <br /><br />That truly sickens me.... It also pisses off other farmers and it's creating a backlash that is going to hinder their cause... That's why you will continue to see the rise of bloggers like FarmBabe, Nurse loves Farmer, SciBabe, We Love GMOs and Vaccines, Iowa meets Hawaii and The Hawaii Farmer's Daughter... The tide is turning and it's not in the Antis favor. HR1559 is just the beginning.

I didn't print your statement from<br />the newspaper because it's too long. But it does prove me right that you are the queen of disinformation and revisionist history. There was no fervor around this issue until Gary and Tim, aided by KKCR, whipped it up. You were an active fear-mongerer in this whole issue. Even now you're still falsely claiming an elevated rate of birth defects and cancer, both of which are false. Gary wasn't a peace-maker. He was an agitator rallying his "little fists." You and your pal Hooser have a serious problem with lying.

Why not post my real stateme...You exhaust me, Joan. Why not post my real statement? Is it because you are avoiding the main point that I was making?<br /><br />Why do you even care about what I thinK? <br /><br />Here is my statement that I openly made:<br /><br />Allan Parachiniʻs editorial in the Garden Island was yet again an opportunity to flaunt his ignorance of the issue of the pesticide disclosure ordinances. He kicks sand in the face of two good councilmen, one deceased the same day as this court judgement. Please remember that Allan is a little more than a tool of the industry and did not even live here at the time. He is very much new to the island and raking up mud to sling around needlessly. This opinion was unnecessarily hurtful and shirks the most important reflection on the pesticide disclosure movement. Councilmen Tim Bynum and Gary Hooser did not create the fever of emotion around the pesticide concern on the island; they responded to an overwhelming well-spring of concern from the community. As a kkcr programmer for a show managing community concerns, this issue was fomenting well before either councilmen got involved. The young generation were sounding the alarm of distress as more and more babies were being born with special needs. The grandmaʻs were joining the chorus of distress as they have watched their families combat and die from a crazy amount of cancer. This concern was vivid well before Gary and Tim stepped in to help. They had the courage to work with the community frightened of the industry to create a public pathway to addressing the concern. There were many angry threats from the westside makua generation to burn the fields and worse. Talk of violence was vibrant. Gary and Tim were forces of calm. When 5% of the population, of all demographics, are willing to march with their babies and grandparents in both strollers and wheelchairs in the dumping rain and the blazing sun; this is more than political manipulation for personal gain. With all due respect to the accused policy-makers, they simply donʻt have that kind of charisma to whip up such passions. Tim and Gary were calming violence and showing true leadership in the best way they could create as the state legislators were unwilling to step in. The accusation that these men wanted to create a problem is not consistent with the pattern of positive ordinances and projects focused on solutions that these men have put forth. Allanʻs ignorance is a disservice to the very real pain of the people who are scared for their health and it shames the newspaperʻs credibility.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319612652668339262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-66153585454090845152016-11-22T20:49:46.860-10:002016-11-22T20:49:46.860-10:00This guy gets an award for answering the questions...This guy gets an award for answering the questions that the county is telling him to tell you guys on tgi.
