"The World Is A Burial Ground..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen'

There are many unmarked graves in Hawaii.
.The question remains,should projects be stopped because of it?

Nothing seems to ever get  done in Hawaii since every time  a project or construction job is approved and gone through all the legal hurdles and votes,  there's always the activist who finds a buried bone over some construction or project site.

The reality is that  it would seem every road we drive probably has some human remains  buried under neath it. Why are so many worried about the multi-use  trail in Wailua when nobody seems worried about the thousands of cars driving the same area daily?

Nobody seems worried about the many buried at sea and millions of human ashes scattered in our oceans. Let's face it, the longer this world exists the more bodies will be buried and cremated. Should we also cease all ocean activity because so many of our ancestor's remains  are scattered in Oceans around the world?

Burial grounds are for the living not the dead.  Most religions and philosophies believe you go on to a better place and  your afterlife is nowhere near where  you are buried or your ashes scattered.

I do understand the opposition, but just feel the world is a burial ground and if this argument wins it  will be near impossible to build anything new in the future.

"Not Just For The Blind..." 'Obama Da Dog'

Please ask permission to pet me. I am here to serve my master!
Aloha, Check out my opinion article in the (01-11-13) Kaua'i Garden Island news, "Don’t pet a dog without permission..."
http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-friday-jan/article_ad8fe6a2-5bbd-11e2-aee9-0019bb2963f4.html

Petting a service  dog without permission is like groping another fellow man or woman without permission, or  touching someones baby without permission. What makes people think they can kiss and pet a stranger's animal?

Service dogs are mostly associated with giving aid to blind people, but a service dog can also offer Psychiatric service. These dogs are classified PSDs. "(Psychiatric Service Dogs) When you come across a service dog, please do not pet, call, talk, kiss or otherwise distract it as doing so could put the handlers life in jeopardy     http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=7204

When someone  asks to pet my dog, I say "NO," because she is a "service dog," plus I am a germophobic. I don't want someone who may have a cold, flu virus or smelly hands petting my dog.

 These are working animals, not pets and they are out with their handlers to help them, not to be a spectacle for the public. Please note it is rude to ask a  disabled person what their disability is, as that is personal and confidential information.

Service dogs need to know who their  master's are. People with service dogs are  not  portable petting zoos. 
Remember to ask permission before petting any ones pet.

"New Years resolutions..." 'Judith Whitehead' (Inspiration Sunday)

"Guest-blogger Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst N.Y. and has worked in the

 ophthalmology field of medicine for over 30 years..." Today she talks about  the traditions
 of  New Year resolutions...Happy New Year! Enjoy...  ;D)

                                           New Year’s resolutions

I don’t really know when the idea of a new year resolution came to pass but it seems to be a tradition that many of us still make every year.  Usually it is about losing weight or getting a new job or becoming a better person.  These notions usually last for maybe the first month of the year and then we are back to our old selves.  

It seems that the bigger picture here is that one assumes that we are generally unhappy with ourselves and feel the need for change.  Why not just make this resolutions thing an ongoing way to live our lives.  When we step on the scale and it is slowly rising, cut back on the food intake.  If we find ourselves unsatisfied with our employment situation, don’t wait until the first of the year…make a change for the present.  If you feel you could be a better person to yourself and others, start today.

  Every day should be lived as though it were the first of the year; don’t wait, make a change for the better today. We are given only one life to live, make the most of it and make it mean something for yourself and for others.

"The Doctor..." 'Chester "Unc" Lau' (Source)

Dakinetalks favorite Uncle (Chester Lau)

is back  talking religion and the resurrection...

"Unc" is a retired cinematographer currently living 

on the Hawai'ian Island of Oahu.

Call The Doctor

A Pastor was presenting a children's sermon. During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was?

Now, asking questions during children's sermons is crucial, but at the same time, asking children questions in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous.

Having asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised his hand. The pastor called on him and the little boy said, "I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor."It took over ten minutes for the congregation to settle down enough from their laughter for the worship service to be continued.

A funny Youtube why many of us moved to Hawai'i!

"Glorifying the Life of a Serial Killer..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen'

Should we have more gun control, should we have armed guards at
all public schools, should the mentally insane be banned from purchasing firearms,
should TV shows like Dexter which glorifies the life of a serial killer be allowed on TV?

Aloha, check out my opinion article in today's (01-05-13) Kaua'i Garden Island news,"A shift in society, not gun control, is the solution."

http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-saturday-january/article_66f342ca-56ea-11e2-a7ea-0019bb2963f4.html

Gun reform will not stop madmen and woman from  killing. In the Middle east suicide bombers often get on public buses or go into populated restaurants, shopping malls, schools  and sports events with suicide bombs strapped onto their bodies. Anybody can Google on how to make a bomb, cell phones can be used to detonate the bombs. 

Gun control will only stop innocent people from possessing guns, the criminally and insane will still find ways to obtains guns, just as the drug addict finds ways to support their sorry habits. 

There is  A TV series on cable called "Dexter" which glorifies the life of a serial killer. This is just one of numerous examples in the media that lead to our societies violent actions.

Should we have more gun control, should we have armed guards at 
all public schools, should the mentally insane be banned from purchasing firearms,
should TV show's like Dexter  be allowed on TV?

Gun control is not the only answer in stopping innocent people from being massacred, Society needs to change, guns don't kill, people kill. 

On the lighter side, to the woman who was upset Santa was packing a gun, did she ever stop to ponder that maybe Santa was just happy to see her?

"Sweeter Than Term Limits..." 'Obama Da Dog'

What would be sweeter than term limits for politicians?
Read what our guest-blogger Obama Da Dog thinks would work better!

Sweeter Than Term Limits

What would be sweeter than term limits in the House of representatives?  Imagine the U.S. Congress and Senate  working  a similar  system for its members by a selection process similar to the way jurors are found for jury duty? Every American citizen  should have the right to serve!

The people I know who have sat on jury duty take it very serious. There's a minimum monetary gratis for your time. It's your duty as an American when called upon for jury duty to serve.

Jurors have no special interests and are  not concerned with re-election.  The responsibility for a juror is tremendous,  many times deciding on the life of an alleged convict. Juror's want to make the right decisions, hence the average American would be better suited for congress than most elected candidates.

Who do you want making the laws that affect your life,  a  hard working heartfelt  American or the same good ole boys and gals with all their self serving narcissistic needs.

 A WISH TO LIVE FOREVER A WISH TO LIVE FOREVER
 I met a fairy who said she would grant me one wish. Immediately I said, "I want to live forever." "Sorry," said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant eternal life." "OK," I said, "Then, I want to die after Congress gets its head out of its ass!" The fairy replied, "You crafty bastard."=============

" KILLING FIELDS RESORT..." 'Bettejo Dux' (Classic Wednesday)

Bettejo Dux  has  lived on the cosmic Island of Kaua'i  for over 40 years. She is a people lover, animal lover and lover of life.Today she elaborates about a new business she wishes to invest in, you may be interested in investing in this resort featuring  a new sport... Enjoy!
www.bettejodux.com

I saw it first.  A southern state with the most homicides. Bad economy. Needs help financially. Perfect.

A mere $7,500,000 for 2,468 acres in an interesting terrain. An incredibly beautiful lodge that can easily be enlarged for wealthy  non participating guest accommodations. A dirt road gains entrance and it’s already known as a magnificent hunting site. Stocked with animals to hunt, we might want to move them. Then again, we might consider imposing high fines for anyone deliberately or accidentally killing a four-legged or winged creature.

I think we could probably accommodate one person per acre participation at twenty bucks a head.  We could pay off the debt in less than a year. We don’t want so many they’d be bumping into each other. We want them to hunt. So we could afford to do a 1/2 a person per acre and make it more interesting.

There are existing buildings on the  property that could be  cute shops. There are structures on the land suitable for voyeurs-no sexual intent here-that could be made safe. I’d like a safari environment but I think this property might be more inclined to an ultra civilized  Southern man hunting theme. No racism intended.

We could have  team game features  on occasion, limited to the number of players. No one to exit killing fields  until all their opposition is dead. We simply do not offer field hospitals. I mean if you’re hit and you’re down you’re dead.

Players could collect ears or scalps or Eagle Standards depending  on the theme. Weapons, of course would have to left at the door when they depart. Maybe, with small groups, the winners could celebrate at the lodge.  That would cost extra.  Better minds than mine at figures could do the math here. Obviously we’d have advertising expenses.  More jobs. More money.

We’d need staff: chefs, waiters, housekeepers. We could buy a really good hotel manager. We’d need ground’s men, patrolmen, guards. The killing fields could resemble a Jurassic Park set up. We certainly don’t want any of the participants secretly slipping over into safe territory. Murderous two-legged creatures may not be as large as raptors or Tyrannous  Rex but I think they are a few degrees brighter.

Maybe on occasion we could  safari into the killing fields. Non participants might pay a lot for this experience. They’d have to sign a waver.  Participants would receive extra credits, medals and such, for bagging beauties and old ladies.

I realize my financial skills- the ability to come up with the big buck-and my imagination are limited so help me out here. There’s money in it. Plus a simple way to reduce the population. To improve the financial quagmire. The jobless, homeless problem. Stop wars but continue to support the military industrial complex. We couldn't  of course, purchase too many top of the line products. At least not in the beginning, but we could lease drones to non participants. We could also lease satellites. View the action from above in the bar or in the lobby

American ingenuity. We’re in a new ago, kiddies. We can do it.
