Bad hombres?
I find Friday’s editorial cartoon leaving a very bad taste and is a terrible threat to my sensibilities.
Every day I see mine and your America dissolving before my very eyes. I see and hear of our tax dollars supporting “sanctuary cities,” and many of these individuals are taking unfair advantage of our overly generous society.
It’s reported that there are some 46 million people, plus or minus, on food stamps/EBT cards, and some of these individuals do not follow the rules, laws and regulations which most law-abiding Americans must comply. We the people must comply or face fines, forfeitures of property and/or confinement.
Some of these hombres buy an excess of food products with their EBT cards because they have “children to feed.” These same individuals sell the excess of these food staples to other amigos for cash and then buy a finer grade of tequila than most of you and I can afford. So, do not call me “bad.”

Hawaii lags behind
Now that California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., have legalized cannabis for all adults, one has to wonder why Hawaii is so far behind the times.
In Hawaii, we don’t need a complicated adult-use law. Even just a simple law making it legal for any adult to grow 24 plants, keep the harvest and travel with up to 16 ounces for personal use would be a step in the right direction.
Consumers could be allowed to form growing clubs with others, so that retail stores would not be needed.
The police and courts look ridiculous enforcing cannabis prohibition laws that belong in the Dark Ages.
