Here is where the problem lay. It's all of us poisoning this island by using any chemical whatsoever. Yes we could say the industrial revolution and corporations are to blame but it still comes down to us. Sure the sugar cane industry was bad and most likely used more "cides" than used today. Yes the big AG companies use "restricted use" pesticides (in accordance with law) I see county spraying everywhere daily with no mask on in the direct wind. Everyone is to blame. Hawaiians (marquesas) made a huge impact when first coming to the islands. They affected everything just like every other human that decides to move to an untouched and pristine land. We are all the problem.

If it was a half a bucket or a full bucket, I would never go empty handed. Nowadays I don't fish because of the pollution and going home without a single fish. Go swim in Hanalei bay and you going catch... A ear infection, eye infection, skin infection, rash, and a trip to the doctors office. Pollution to da max!

Joan, you failed to respond to the thrust of my comments which is- focusing on personalities rather than issues. The issue for this post is ʻĀina, and Terryʻs research is just as important as research on biocides and gmoʻs when speaking of health of the ʻāina. Your comment goes to prove what I wanted to say about this blog and comments- people love to diss other people as a way of avoiding real issues, the real issue in this instance being the health of the ʻāina. So, no, I do not post this to sing Terryʻs praises, but to encourage people to discuss issues (glyphosate in our bodies, biocides in the soil, air and water, military microwave towers on Kauai, what is causing Kauaiʻs massive coral die-offs in the past few years, etc) which are related to ʻāina. A big mahalo to all who have rational discussions about issues without resorting to name-calling, belittling, or condescending.

Sugar was already dead and gone (except for G&R which stayed in far after they were loosing big bucks just to keep the plantation mobilized) before the seed companies came into the islands. Same with pineapple except for some small acreage on Oahu. Klayton, if you're going to go public with your views, you should do some research to make sure that the "facts" you're proclaiming are in fact true and not entirely false. Kinda embarrassing. It serves to undermine everything else you say and reveals your ignorance.Manuahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935756151568533081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-33219708421561271412015-07-29T10:22:51.757-10:002015-07-29T10:22:51.757-10:00I'm watching the film for free now: http://ain...I'm watching the film for free now: http://ainafeeds.us/film and it's very sensationalistic.

Other comments belittle, degrade and attack individuals and you print those. This comment which I have sent twice (and which promotes focusing on issues instead of personalities) has not appeared yet. Perhaps you failed to receive it- if so, I apologize for this first part. Here is the comment again- "Attack Terry and ignore what he films and experiences underwater...attack Terry, but never question or investigate the possible connection between military practices and the rapid decline in the health of our reefs. Yes, attack a person but never ever do research and examine the questions he poses. Can anyone who reads this blog offer us factual information about the military microwave towers on Kauaʻi and their possible effects on the surrounding life in the ocean.
