"Solution for states economic tsunami..."

Governor Abercrombie Senate, congress , Mayors and county councils of the great cosmic state of Hawaii,

I think I have the solution for the state economic crisis.

When a company is hurting financially they can file for bankruptcy protection and can sometimes re-organize with court approved discounts by paying a lower amount for every dollar owed to a creditor. For instance sometimes the courts will order a business to pay 30 cents on the dollar with the concept that creditors get something in lieu of nothing if the company where to totally fold.

In the same essence, why doesn't the state of Hawaii just file for bankruptcy protection?

Here's the real million dollar idea. Just like there are fund raisers and people donate money for natural disasters like Katrina and the Japanese earthquake and Tsunami where millions can be collected.

Why not have a fundraiser for the states economic tsunami, it is a disaster too, just not a physical one but a disaster that effects every one's bank account. Let's do a state fundraiser for the economic Tsunami. Have musicians donate time and throw a concert , have bake sales, do what ever it takes to help the economic tsunami.

"How to live a long life..."

There are so many of my friends leaving earth at such young ages. Many passing away long before their time.

One friend was an avid vegetarian for over 30 years, exercised, never smoked, ran marathons and died of Leukemia at age 53.

Another friend whom I had no idea was gay died 20 years ago at age 35 before they had all the drugs to treat HIV as they have today.

I know someone who was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is only 49 years old, the doctors told her she has 6 months to live. This person power walks, doesn't smoke, Lives off her garden and fruit trees and rarely eats out, always making home made meals for family and friends.

I am friendly with a few old-timers in their 70's that smoke, eat alot of red meat, drink diet soda and live off fast food, they are healthy as can be.

Remember the stress of denying yourself what you want can be enough to cause the stress that can trigger cancer cells to multiply. eventually destroying you.

Live life and enjoy! Life is short even if you live to be 100. 100 is nothing in the history of man and woman. Do anything you want in moderation and I believe you odds are far greater of living a long life. Time will tell, I'm off to get a whopper junior...

"Obama was actually hatched from an egg..."

                           
Our president Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii, he was hatched by a mother Kenyan hen sitting on her eggs back during the crazy rock era of the early 1960's. Since Barack Obama was hatched from an egg according to Sara Palin and her friend Donald trump it's time to dissolve the rumors that he was born in a manger and know the truth that he was hatched and is the primary reason for so many GOP'ers claiming his birth certificate is  a forge.

Donald Trump actually has remains of the cracked eggshell that Obama commenced life from.

OK folks, no jokes aside, the above was actually fiction, however  there are many Americans that actually think Barack Obama was not born in the United states and is a closet Muslim.

Please click on the enclosed URL to see actual photos of Obama's birth certificate.

I have always maintained that if Barack Obama was a white man that this controversy never would had taken hold.

President Obama was born in Honolulu Hawaii in 1961, Hawaii was part of the united states at that time.
 It's time to move on to important topics, like 3 wars and solving the major recession and if Donald Trump is actually a martian.

The county watchmen..."

Have you ever been to a Kauai county council meeting, watched on on TV or live streamed on your computer?  If not link onto the enclosed URL every Wednesday at 9:00 A.M. HST.
http://www.kauai.gov/tabid/400/Default.aspx

Kaua'i county council has become one of my favorite reality shows, I usually watch via live-stream but sometimes on TV.

With the camera's focused on every council person and everyone who testifies you can gather quite a bit from body language.

Ken Taylor and Glenn Mickens are two members of the community that comment on almost every matter that comes up. When the camera's show council members during public testimony or right before their going to the podium you will see looks of rolling the eyes, arms crossed and stink eye.

More of us should attend meetings and ask questions of our elected officials, it's another way of checks and balances. Since I am not able to attend council meetings in person, I am thankful that we have a couple of die hard watchmen looking over what our elected officials do.

May I suggest no more rolling of the eyes and crossing of the arms when the watchmen go to testify. After-all the watchmen are our true public servants doing what they do for no pay, no car allowance or health insurance, just out of love and concern for Kauai, the aina' and it's people. '

Mahalo Nui Loa watchmen!

Mahalos Ken Taylor and Léo Azambuja !

Editor's note, for those not living on Kauai please read the enclosed article if you wish to understand this blog.  Aloha

The Garden island news recent article, "County agrees to $250K settlement with shrimp farm" is another fine example on why government has gone broke. We need to start electing people to public office who are educated and have brains.

Mahalos and thank G-d for Ken Taylor one of our county watchmen, Ken questioned a $250,000 settlement that had never gone public and wanted answers concerning this matter in a recent council meeting after Garden island  assistant editor Léo Azambuja brought this situation to the table with his award winning reporting!


Our council needs to grow a set of golf balls, every-time a potential law-suit comes up, they settle and try to keep it quiet because they say, "it's cheaper than going to court." We have a full time county attorney with a staff that should be capable of "winning"without bringing outside help, that's why we hired a county attorney in the first place.

It seems there will soon be a waiting line of people and business's filing claims that may not even be true to be able to live happily every after with taxpayer monies if this behaviour is not eradicated

"Adult tattletalers..."

When your a child you call them tattletalers, on the streets and in prison they call them rats. They are the people who enjoy being busy-bee's, gossip and telling rumors.

In a small community gossip is similar to tattletaling, sometimes it's true and sometimes it's not, when it's not it can destroy the person being tattled on.

I was looking forward to becoming an adult when I was a child and not having to deal with tattletalers, and for most of my adult life tattletalers have been absent.

I didn't realize adult tatletailers can range from a bigmouth, blabberer, busybody, fink, informer,,scandalmonger, snitch, stool pigeon, tipster troublemaker and whistle-blower.

Please don't tell me to move, I like it on the Garden island but never in my life have I seen so many adults who get off tattletaling as I do on Kaua'i.

I guess with no night life, ferry boats or plastic bags, there's not much else to do on a tropical island. On a positive note, it sure beats drive-by shootings, or does it?

"a fowl situation...!"

The chicken situation on Kauai is starting to smell foul. Thousands of wild chickens not only crowing at the crack of Dawn but at the crack of everyone's behind.

The sound is annoying as is the sound of gas and electric powered lawn mowers, weed-whackers, and weed-blowers going off constantly.

Noise pollution is out there as much as air pollution, litter, and polluted ocean waters.

The chicken problem is the one that is most easily remedied. I would take a crowing rooster over my neighbor using a leaf-blower, weed-whacker or any power tool for that matter.

Time to make chicken soup with Matzo balls out of a fowl situation.

Here's a simple solution to the overpopulated loud roosting chickens;

Somebody needs to start a dog and cat food company with chicken as the main ingredient. The chickens are free to harvest island-wide and the company would be hailed a saviour for controlling a noisy tormenting fowl situation.

eeer, eeer, eeer , eeer ,eeer!
