    Re: Shame on Dalton Tanonaka

    Dalton Tanonaka is a great man with a strong spirit.
    He is in touch with the low mucs and the high mucs.
    Lets really look at this and how silly it is to condem a
    desent guy for being human.

      What's a "muc"?

        Hmmm. Let's see if we can figure this out. The word muc could be mucous-related, which could then lead us to the idea of snot or having a snotty attitude, which could then lead to Dalton being in touch with the more snotty and the less snotty (high and low) people of society...which would just about cover everybody, wouldn't you think? In other words, when you come right down to it, Dalton's just a regular local guy who has the smarts to be able to mingle and get along with anybody. After all, Kalani grad right?

        I think Dalton will be okay. Three months is not very long to be out of the public eye, and I'm thinking he'll end up landing on his feet a more humble and better man for the whole experience.

          I thought maybe it was a variation on the concept of "high mucky-mucks," but I don't think there's such a thing as a low one - mucky-mucks are all high, ain't they?

              Yes - yes, you did!

              Maybe it's a reference to "muck-rakers" a/k/a investigative journalists?
              Though I can't imagine them being friends with politicians.

                That’s a really low blow to equate muckraking to investigative journalism. The terms only get confused because reporters get killed (by organized crime, high-level government agencies, etc.) or fired for being good investigative journalists and all that are left are the sensational muckrakers.

                We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.

                  Ah, you misunderstand me - in today's world, I think we have too much muck, and not enough rakers. I admire the journalists who are willing to get deep and get dirty, even at personal risk.

                  As opposed to those who keep trying to convince me that every little aspect of Brittney "should-be-run-through-with" Spears' marital follies constitutes "news."
