LINGLE SUPPORTS NATIVE HAWAIIANS-I FAINT FROM SHOCK

 Ok, hang on, let me get up off the floor. What are you kidding me? Lingle has fought the Hawaiians in Federal court. AGAINST THE HAWAIIANS.

She is sitting there with a smirk on her face, really just trying to be a smart assed REP going against a ranking DEM . GIVE ME A BREAK!

Ok, I am calm now.

This woman HAS NEVER BEEN FOR SUPPORTING NATIVE HAWAIIANS EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!

OK, deep breath!

That some Hawaiians don't support the Akaka bill is true, but to suddenly side at the last hour is FAKE STUPID AND LUDICROUS. (I have a a fun blogging style don't I? haha)

OK look, I don't exactly agree with the whole reservation think. Hawaiians had a much different system of Governance. It needs to follow the Cheifly order, without all of the restrictive kapus that subjugated women under the old Tahitian system re instituted by Kamehamehas warlording, that is TRUE.

The system should go back to what it was before Kamehameha reinstituted the kapu system. ALl crown lands should be given back to the poeple. [period. Housing should be given to ALL Native Hawaiians of a quarter or more blood.

Housing should also be given to Native Hawaiian children whose fathers and mothers have abandoned them to non Hawaiian parental custodians should also have the right to a house and a piece of land.

That is my personal biggest beef.

Lingle opposes Akaka Bill changes, facelift for Volcano House, boat fees going up, more news

The Lingle administration, which has consistently backed federal recognition for Native Hawaiians, opposes changes to the bill pending before Congress because of "potentially enormous" implications to the relationship between Hawaiians and the state.

The value of Kamehameha Schools' endowment fell by more than $2.2 billion in the wake of the global economic meltdown, prompting some belt tightening at the state's wealthiest charitable trust

Talks between the teachers union and state officials to restore instructional time for students resume today as hope grows that a joint solution can be arrived at before the start of the 2010 Hawaii Legislature.

Nineteen states and the District of Columbia scored higher than Hawaii in a study of public health emergency preparedness released today.

The state is turning up the heat on illegal vendors at Kealakekua Bay.

The Department of Health (DOH) confirms that Hawaii did receive some of the child H1N1 vaccines that are now being recalled.

The National Park Service plans an estimated $7.2 million in renovations to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park's historic Volcano House hotel, with more than half that amount to be invested by a concessionaire who will take over the facility's contract next year.

The number of fully loaded containers coming into Kawaihae Harbor peaked in 2007, with the equivalent of nearly 99,000 20-foot containers arriving.

One result of switching many state employees' mail-order prescriptions to Florida is that Paradise Pharmacy will close today after 20 years in business in Pukalani.

Technically, Hawai‘i’s small-boat harbors system has been operating contradictory to state law since its inception.

WHAT A CROCK. OMG. There was a MASS PROTEST not that long ago against this woman. NATIVE HAWAIIANS. SHe wanted to take the ceded lands away from them. WHAT IS SHE DOING SAYING SHE IS FOR THE NQTIVE HAWAIIANS WHAT A CROCK 

BIKEPATHS FROM OTHER PLACES-CAN WE REALLY COMMUTE ON OURS?

Well, I learned something people. BIKE PATHS DON"T HAVE TO BE ON A BEACH!!...WOW amazing. The things you can learn on the internet

Does our planned bikepath actually do the job it was intended to do? Or is it just a tourism orientated resort type path for the wealthy? DO local people really need to have their neighborhood bikepath "interpreted" for them?

DO local people need bikepaths in their ACTUAL COMMUNITIES? 

Is the planned bikepath supposed to go to areas where there are no major resorts? WIll it be going more inland to Wailua Houselots, Kalaheo perhaps? Will Westsiders, and Southsiders have this lovely, beautiful landscaped and interpretive signed bikepath as well? Will public housing residents be able to access this marvel of a path? Is this bikepath truly equitable, or was it just designed to serve a very few people, and visitors?

I was all for the path in the beginning. Until I realized I would never be able to get to it. Not unless I had a vehicle or traveled almost 2 hours on a bus to get there.

And what if EVERYONE tries to get  on the bus with a bike? Each bus can only handle a maximum of 3 bycicles.  So if there are anymore than three poeple actually trying to commute to work, using a combination of the bus, and the bikepath to get to, say Lihu'e from outlying areas such as Wailua Houselots, or Kalaheo guess what? You are out of luck pal. You need to get on the highway shoulder and pedal for your lives! Or else, you must wait another hour for a bus, thus either making you late for work, or requiring you to leave an hour earlier than you usually would.

Further, If you have to be at work by five or six, forget it. If three guys beat you to the bike racks on the bus you are out of luck. Also If you work a night shift, or get off of work a little later, or even earlier than that there is no bus. Also if you work on a Saturday, the bus runs on haldf schedual. It doesnt run on Sundays at all. SO really the idea that people can use a combination of the bus and the path to get to and from jobs is ridiculous.

Yet again, we have put the cart before the horse. We have designed the path, without designing enough supporting transportation to actually help people commute to and from work, school and recreation in a timely and convenient manner, thus lessening the amount of cars on the road.

The fact that the path will not have feeder routes connecting the major bedroom neighborhoods to a central path clearly shows lack of planning.

DO we need feeder bikepaths down to the REAL Bikepath?

Can the kids REALLY get to the bikepath to get on it with our their momm packing them all up, attaching the bikes toi the care somehow, driving them down to it and picking them up again? Kinda defeats the whole purose, huh?

Can poeple REALLY COMMUTE on our bikepath?

I am downloading some bikepaths from other places. They go on roads, inland, all over the place. Even on city highways. I don't see big, colorful ugly inertpretive signs on them, nor do I see face, forced landscaping, nor do they look like the front lobby of a hotel resort. They look like they ACTUALLY FUNCTION.

WOW. What a concept.

SO sit back, watch and EDUCATE YOURSELF.

Aloha.

 






 

Now let us discuss these bikepaths a bit. The ONLY bike path was the one from Santa Monica to Torrence. I have actually been on this path when I was a little kid. There are miles and miles of sand. It is far away from the highway. There are no sacred burials off it. The path is not a "boardwalk", screwed into the sand, but a surface one. These sands are extremely different from the shifting sands at Wailua.

After 40 years or so, the path needs to be replaces. It needs constant upkeep. But this path does not have 2 things on it, did you notice? No "landscaping," and No large, brilliant, bright interpretive signs that are like billboards that you can see from a mile away.

It is just simply a bike path. California has a billion or so visitors a year. They actually have more than we do per year.

Now, lets look at some more interesting features of these bikepaths. They are actually bikepaths. Some of them have soft walking trails beside them. Most of them have miles or large parts of them that do not go anywhere near a beach.

Only one of them is literally on top of the sand, and that is only in a place with a half mile or more wide long beach and it is places in such a way that it is not subject to the damages of erosion.

Ok,. I welcome comments, people.

What do you think?

(ps remember my commenting rules, and all will be well.)
