Yeah, you must be right I was brain dead when I was speaking . But please, feel ever so free to introduce yourself to me out there in the real world, and shake my hand, and express those sentiments right to my face.<br /><br />Be assured, I will greatly appreciate your astute observations, and complement you on your so obvious great intelligence, and lively brain, especially when you are up there talking. <br /><br />Do you even go to meetings, or do you just troll around Joans blog?<br />Because after all, as you say, I am brain dead. <br /><br />In fact, I have no idea how I even got up this morning, or made it to the keyboard!.<br /><br />I may be brain dead, but at least I am not embarassed by who or what I am.<br /><br />But then I attribute that to being brain dead.<br /><br />I would rather be brain dead, then a live brain firing off in all the wrong directions. At least if my brain is dead, I can't hurt anyone with it. But w9th a brain like yours, its a lethal weapon of ignorance and stupidity. <br /><br />You should have your ever so lively brain registered as a WMD.<br /><br />ps. Remind me to invite you to our next ohana pa'ina, so I can introduce you as the makau'u moa who thinks I am brain dead. I think we would really enjoy your company.<br /><br />How much do you charge for a half hour stand up comedy routine, anyways?Wahine Warriornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-65467322844053172032010-07-14T07:30:43.044-10:002010-07-14T07:30:43.044-10:00"I heard one of 'em was kinda homely...&q..."I heard one of 'em was kinda homely..."<br /><br />I sincerely hope someone found my comment truly offensive.<br /><br />I like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-40399032868146038352010-07-13T21:42:50.177-10:002010-07-13T21:42:50.177-10:00"that paid off grading violation resulted in ..."that paid off grading violation resulted in those 7 deaths"<br /><br />You're right.

What is surprising is that they have successfully convinced all but two council members (Asing and Kawakami) that there is a gray area. More surprising is how they have convinced the County's legal team of the same.

Now their attorneys have found a gray area, where the law can be manipulated and "interpreted" to say they ARE legal. Of course these people see a loophole, and want their past illegal acts to now be regarded as legal.
