South side of Maui
Some extended native Hawaiian families have rights to land that others don’t. Hey, the land was stolen from their ancestors.

It is difficult to maintain outrage about political events when on the beach in Paia.
But I will try…
The Idiot-in-Chief says more troops needed
Bob Morris @ Dec 21st 2006 00:30 - Category: Unfiled ;
a) More troops hasn’t helped before.
b) The US military doesn’t have more troops to spare.
c) If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.
But reality and facts never dent the thick skull of George “I Am Inerrant” Bush. The crickets you hear are the pretend opposition AKA the Democratic Party protesting not a bit about this new insanity of Dubya’s.
But then, al the DC pols, regardless of party, are in basic agreement. The US can not be seen to have lost in Iraq. Plus, US foreign policy for years has had US hegemony in the Middle East as a primary goal. That’s why no one in DC is protesting beyond a few mild comments. It’s because they basically agree with Bush and with the goals of US imperialism.
An independent people’s movement is needed to stop the wars. That’s what will keep pressure on them. Let’s keep organizing.
Some faith groups say bottled water immoral

Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife. Thou shalt not … drink bottled water?
Reasons include that the water used in bottling comes from poorer areas, thus either depriving them of water or making it more expensive. Then there’s the appalling number of non-biodegradable plastic bottles that end in landfills. The religious groups involved are both evangelical and mainstream. Implicit in this is a fight against water privatization.
