Everything you claim i am. 61 years old (maybe). doing community service for over 30 years, watching all our kids grow up on this island making a difference in my community, the kids i coached have their own kinds, and i've worked with theirs also. <br /><br />i've contributed to this island (hands on) and not just words, and no, not the world, the world is way to big to have an impact. i've seen some parts of the world and discovered we are all (you and me) a single person(s) of a 100 billion population (or what ever count there is). <br /><br />we all have 1 vote, I voted my way, with the silent majority. <br /><br />You have a great week and weekend. our conversation is over, you spoke your mind, i spoke mine. you want the last word in, go have it. As reading this blog for a long time, there's no end, just a continuation to the next great article on this blog.

So you are not a divider? Yet your comments speaks loud and clear what kind of a cheerleader you are.<br /><br />The newbies? Like you've worked all your life making Kauai and the world a better place for only you to enjoy. <br /><br />Just like little kids picking sides is calling the kettle black on your part.<br /><br />You sir or ma'am have a lot to learn and growing up to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-75494638377129825772015-11-04T09:10:24.177-10:002015-11-04T09:10:24.177-10:00The council could do so much more if the people we...The council could do so much more if the people were nicer.

It was time to mend the broken community. We got most of the community dividers out. that's just the election fact. it's nice to see small items on the agenda. <br /><br />You and all the others pissing and moaning about why the 4 not doing anything are just pissed (in one of the silent majority's opinion) that your group is on the short end of the stick. <br /><br />This is where you and all the newbies (assumption), are still crying on this blog because your just pissed that the control of the council is not on your side. AGAIN! This is the fact, the electorial fact. <br /><br />It is great this way. Our small (lower population) quiet / community based island can just continue on with life with and without all this choosing sides. <br /><br />Just like little kids, picking sides. stating your justifiable reasoning why you like and dislike a person. You're losing focus of what life is all about. With or without each and everyone of us on this island, life will go on. <br /><br />Just remember, come next election, be part of the silent majority. cast your one vote. That's all you got! <br /><br />So for now, let the Council do their job. The more we pull and tough on them, the less they can focus on what they have to do. <br /><br />If you consider it nothing, that's all good. maybe it's better than dividing friends and neighbors through lies and deception. <br /><br />Joan, keep up the vigilance.

High end projects and put the local housing away from the the "big houses". There is 400 acres at Hanamaulu, 50 acres by Molokoa, 1000 acres behind Wallmart to new Hanamaulu Bridge, 4,000 acres by the new Kapaia Dump etc. Tons of marginal lands. JoAnn and Hooser et all beat up big land so much by trying to kill Big Ag compounded with a million BS rules on bikepaths, affordable housing extortion, byzantine Planning process, Sisyphus-like water department process.. ad nauseaum....why would anyone in their right mind attempt to do a public good project, when the County leaders are venomous in their laws and actions regarding any development. Especially altruism.<br />JoAnn and Da Hoos, Mason and others must realize that the future of housing, roads, water and public access is the hands of Big Land. If you were Big Land would you bring these wolves to lunch, when Da Hoos and JoAnn (and of course L'il Mason) think that Big Land is the main course on the menu? JoAnn and Gary sworn to serve, but in reality sworn to serve big land their Obituary notice and serve the island's people high taxes, high rents and beautiful bike lanes and smelly buses. Holy HAPA Fistee, where is their some common sense? <br />But if you are a rich newcomer, in your nice house and do not care for the future of the kids on the island....continue to protect JoAnn and Da Hoos. They will keep Kauai for the rich. Locals need not apply.
