That includes things like trespassing on "less than fully improved" land. But please tell me, when did the ancient Hawaiians invent automobiles? They never got around to inventing the wheel! <br /><br />There is a Kauai trespassing case before the courts right now (State vs. Palama) where the Palamas were caught hunting pigs on other people's property. Palama claimed protected cultural practices. The State's view is that pig hunting is not a protected practice since it never occurred or existed before foreigners introduced large pigs to Hawaii. The Hawaiians had only small pigs that they kept in pens as they did with their food dogs. No need hunt in your own pen; just whistle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-7730764744012044682015-07-24T13:39:56.501-10:002015-07-24T13:39:56.501-10:00Ross has a plan and it is working.

A majority of voters are hard core local, west side Hgea types many or most of whom resent the white newcomers who dominate the North, East and Poipu areas but who don't vote. Those that do vote don't know how to plunk or block vote so are not efficient voters. Ross's plan is to drive a hard wedge between the groups with the "these transplants are trying to take over and don't understand our Friday night lights, dog barking, dirty lickings cultcha". Then he keeps his local braddahs focused on only voting for other local braddahs, then adds in the GMO companies and the chamber of commerce guys and bam! He has a winning formula that he extends to term limit issue and saving his buddy Mel (who is brains behind Ross).

While the bullshit is much more mellifluous in French, the message of Kubo and Chun is still conneries no matter how Eutodorks swallow it. And Gary Hooser's title in French is so vastly more important sounding, he should move to Paris and run in one of the more leftist arrondissements of Paris. Kauai is much too small a place for that ego, and given his good work in Switzerland, the French are sure to welcome him with open arms.

If they did not they would not become tenured and elevated to the rank of full professor! What else does Hector want! <br /><br />What it comes down to is that you and I and every other working citizen of the Hawaiian Islands who is paying taxes is paying Hector his salary. He is a government worker and public figure and should expect to be criticized if there are those of us in the taxpaying public who are unhappy with the job he is doing! What is wrong with expecting him to do his job which is to support the vegetable crop industry (note: not not the organic farming industry! the University has a separate position for that!). After all, he is the University of Hawaii Vegetable Crop Specialist for the entire State! I am a vegetable crop farmer (watercress next to the Pearlridge Shopping Center - my ex-wife's 3rd generation family farm) and have seen Hector on the farm only once since his hiring in 1993 and that was the year I saw him. When we had the Aster Yellows outbreak that nearly destroyed the watercress industry in 2001 - 2003, where was Hector?!? Where has he been since then? Mostly proselytizing his anti-modern agriculture and organic agenda!<br /><br />So poor Hector. Grow a pair and man up! If he was assisting the progress of the vegetable crop industry in Hawaii he would not have the time on his hands to be out there testifying against the use of the tools of modern agriculture! And people, please remember, agriculture is not the bugaboo of pesticide application. The use of pesticides in agriculture of all forms in Hawaii is still a small percentage of the overall use of pesticides in the modern world we live in!John McHughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-75245302648587214992015-07-23T11:05:20.140-10:002015-07-23T11:05:20.140-10:00http://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2015/06/03/p...http://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2015/06/03/poisons-de-paradis_4646102_3244.html?xtmc=kubo&xtcr=1<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-36476977219674539652015-07-23T11:04:52.750-10:002015-07-23T11:04:52.750-10:00http://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2015/06/03/p...http://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2015/06/03/poisons-de-paradis_4646102_3244.html?xtmc=kubo&xtcr=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-42139486324265629262015-07-23T09:54:21.619-10:002015-07-23T09:54:21.619-10:00Where is Kubo interview?Where is Kubo interview?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-20960256325108381482015-07-23T07:51:25.196-10:002015-07-23T07:51:25.196-10:00Hector one shill if he gets 500 an hour for his &q...Hector one shill if he gets 500 an hour for his "expert" testimony.
