My Turn: Why TMT is a human rights issue
The debate over the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope has drawn fierce divisions across Hawaii. Misinformation has clouded both sides of the debate. Yet, one thing remains true.

KCH there until the end
My Turn: Get tough, don’t enable panhandlers
For as long as I remember, Hawaii has been an extremely liberal state, led mostly by politicians that throw out words like ohana, pono, malama and aina. They try to appeal to the masses by appeasing rather than offending anyone.

My Turn: Some different solutions instead of same ol’, same ol’
Here are some thoughts that may or may not fit into the scheme of things here in Kona but at least they are thoughts outside the box and not the same sh**, different day.

Before you finish this today, I hope I will have a good LOL for the Fourth of July, but I have to do some research first.
