    OK, thanks.

      Kaua'i residents put on Notice; Superferry to return, Nawiliwili will become a "militarized zone", protesters walk out of meetings and promise chaos. http://starbulletin.com/2007/09/04/news/story01.html

          This fascistic Superferry invasion by corporatUST$ -- of the big kind Verizon, Carlyle Group, Lehman et. al, Morgan Stanley, AOL Leftover$, and who knows what other corporatist, militarUSt cabalUStic capiltalUSt$ 'investment' fraud-- ushered onto Hawai`i by Governor Linda Lingle and that State Executive bureaucracy of which she is it's one and only chief, Chief Executive.

          There is no way $uperfascUSt "Angels" or superfairies or monster ferries got set up in Hawai`i like the escarcot snail (The AppleSnail) in the islands' kalo fields except that some human being (in the case of HSF,Inc. it was Linda Cutter Lingle) moved the snails around so quickly on the impulse of a seemingly good idea that "we can grow taro and and snails, and sell the snails..." and the snails are winning ever since.

            something i've been wondering since the brouhaha over the superferry really heated up a couple weekends ago:

            how many vehicles are on the neighbor islands with stickers declaring "OAHU BUILT" or something like that now versus how many would there be, if the superferry were running unfettered? and how would those numbers compare to the vehicles with "MAUI BUILT" or "KAUAI GIRL" or what have you on oahu?

              Good point. I don't know about Craig's situation, but I would imagine that a lot of other Big Islanders who now work at places like Costco, Walmart, and yes, Home Depot, would have a difficult time supporting themselves and their families should all the big-box stores suddenly disappear. All of my uncles and aunties who grew up in Papaikou ended up moving to Oahu in the 1950s and '60s. It wasn't because they wanted to be "townies," but there just wasn't much in the way of employment opportunities (other than working at the sugar plantation) back then. Had the Hilo economy been more diversified like it is today, some of them might have been able to stay put.

              It's one thing to be sentimental about the past and yearning for a simpler lifestyle uncluttered by things we associate with "big city" life. But realistically, many of us wouldn't be able to support ourselves and enjoy the standard of living we are now accustomed to if you took away tourism and many of the economic developments that have occurred over the last 50 years. No matter what island we live on, I think many of us, whether it be lifelong kama'aina or malahini, know that certain changes and progress has to be made in order to make it possible for us and our future generations to continue living here. But at the same time, we don't want drastic changes that would cause us to lose our sense of history and identity. In our minds, we may have a line or a boundary we feel should not be crossed when it comes to changes that are made "in the name of progress." Exactly what those boundaries are,.....ah!!! That's the problem. All of us have different ideas on the matter. Thus, we see endless debate on the issue of development here in Hawai'i. And this SF discussion is just one example of what I am talking about.
              This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

                    I see lots of "OG" stickers on Oahu. The OG stands for Oahu Grown. i tried to find a picture of the sticker with google but nothing came up except this Xanga group. http://groups.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=278742

                      thanks. like i said, i was being semi-facetious. eric's titan's airbags and his "gentle 152dB reminder " system were both installed by DH built.

                      back to topic--what do y'all think about the new security zone the coast guard has created at nawiliwili harbor and the claim that the new security plan will cause chaos?

                      here's the story from the SB.http://starbulletin.com/2007/09/04/news/story01.html

                        I am not aware of when the zone is enforced other than when the SuperFerry is in Nawiliwili Harbor. If the zone is relaxed when it is not in the harbor then there should be no problem. If the SuperFerry keeps to the original schedule then no one else can be in the harbor between 5:45 pm to 7:15 pm Sunday to Friday, that's about 1-1/2 hours, 6 days a week.

                        Inconvenient, yeah sure but not a hardship.

                          The classic phrase they had was "Slow down, this ain't the mainland."

                              Well, we're not allowed on the airport runways, are we? For our own safety as well as that of the aircraft and their passengers.
