Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The orchestra played while the Titanic sank.
Sen. Russell Ruderman strums away while Pahoa awaits its fate.
Thank you to all the responsible leaders who are working tirelessly to ensure that Puna will survive.

Aloha
There has been a couple of letters written about the residents of the Puna area, and the “just deserts” they merited by moving there.
I would like to enlighten those who wrote those letters: If they were well-educated, they would know that Mother Nature has many weapons in her arsenal to smite us humans, and if she does not do it now, she will do it in the future, wherever you live … .
This is my last letter, as I and my wife are returning to the mainland after 20 years of living in different parts of this lovely island. Thank you, Tribune-Herald, for “airing” some of my thoughts since 2005.
Aloha to all my friends — and those that may have had a different mindset.

GMO impacts
While the scientific and medical community and (many) world organizations are cited as accepting GMOs as safe and without “evidence” of adverse effects on “humans,” I would like to point out something much simpler and show you the research that proves what the simplest alteration of natural food will do to the living organism.
At www.ppng.org, the work of Dr. Francis M. Pottenger and Weston A. Price independently proved that simply cooking (killing the living force with heat) food destroyed sufficient nutrition to cause the degradation of health.
The human condition is evidence enough, not to mention the condition of pets. Any other argument is simply profit- or ignorance-driven.
