Stop judging
Stop judging
Anyone who will read history will recognize that all peoples of primitive culture (and modern protesters) revere the universe/Earth as spiritual/sacred. As time continues, advancement in civilization performs planned disruption to every aspect of this environment. The reality is the only assured preservation of the Earth from human civilization is the destruction of all humans.
While warmongers and radicals seem to be moving in the direction of mutual destruction, it is evident the leaders only are interested in the profits gained from such behavior at the expense of those obsessed enough to die for their profits.
Among the cultural protesters, few if any want to live without the products from the military industrial complex or the conveniences of modern living and revert to a prehistoric, primitive lifestyle.
There are no innocents existing among us, so a note to all: Just stop being judgmental and acting holier than thou.

Equipment stolen
On behalf of the Waimea Outdoor Circle, I am disheartened to report one of our containers was burglarized during the weekend at Ulu La‘au, the Waimea Nature Park, and several valuable power tools were stolen, including a Stihl chainsaw, Stihl pole saw, gas-powered Shindaiwa trimmer and a new Stihl edger attachment.
The Waimea Nature Park is dedicated to native Hawaiian plants and is maintained entirely by volunteers and donations.
Whoever removed these tools committed a crime against our community and everyone who enjoys the park.
Please kokua; if you have any information, go to our website and contact us or call 443-4482. We are offering a $100 reward for their safe return, no questions asked.

Not ‘under control’
In response to an article regarding banana trees a couple of Sundays ago, I am perturbed that it states banana bunchy top virus is “under control.”
I have fought it in my yard for about a year while neighbors have it all around me, and one even recently planted banana trees along our road that are mostly so obviously diseased.
I see it along our highways, when I walk down to the local beach, at a kanikapila in Hawaiian Paradise Park, etc.
The local resource the article says to call told me they have given up on control, and also told me months ago that he helped some banana farms clear out their plants.
So, will we have to buy imported bananas soon right here in Hawaii?
