Not to mention fattening doughnuts, nerdy astronomers, and people who insist on calling it "ice shave?" The children! Who will protect our children?!

      Speaking of doughnuts, will daytrippers have time to drive from Kawaihae to Tex Drive-In and back?

        Any violence is the result of the Coast Guard and their attempts to use boat hooks to snag the people in the water.
        Boat hooks are not sharp pointy objects, silly person. They're blunt, and the Coasties use them to RESCUE people in the water. You dare to call that violent?!? You dare to insult these people who risk their own lives daily to rescue people and who save countless lives?
        Stay the hell in Seattle!

        And now there are three "martyrs for their cause."
        And now you call three criminals "martyrs"?!?!?
        You're just digging your own hole deeper and deeper.

          Guess not! Just like on Maui nowadays. You know the stretch of Kaahumanu Ave. from Baldwin HS all the way down to Hana Hwy by Dairy Rd. is near-gridlock almost every day between 9 and about 6:30 during the week in both directions. Every time I go to Maui now, and I'm driving around Kaahumanu Center and see all the cars going in both directions, I always ask myself, "don't these guys have jobs or wot???"

            Eh Lika, if I wasn't being sarcastic, I wouldn't have put martyrs in quotes. But in nonviolent demonstrations, this is exactly what the demonstrators are looking for. Now they have more ammo to give to their sympathizers. This is also what Gandhi did. The bozos who got arrested were probably the ones throwing the stones. But there were plenty of people who parked and locked their cars and just walked away from them, which blocked the driveway.

              With Maui temporarily suspended as a destination, Superferry is now free to alter their schedule, offer 2 trips to Kauai and see who shows up at the protests like say 10 or 11 in the morning. If the same people show up at all demos, well they probably aren't employed.
              I'm still here. Are you?

                For those on Oahu, Shirokiya is having the 'Island Fair' through this weekend. They brought in both the Maui manju and the Kauai manju. I've had both and prefer the Kauai manju.

                    Worthless, stupid, nothing-else-to-do-kind-of-people, protesting US corporatists' (Oahu's elitUSts' heroes) $uperfascUSterry while living (as Mel suggests) unemployed on Kauai or Maui.... really?

                      I was not attacking the Coast Guard; I was merely stating that they were using the boat hooks to try to fish the protesters out of the harbor and that the protestors could have gotten hurt because they were trying to avoid being snatched up; however, if they did get hurt it was because they were illegally trying to avoid being caught. Does that sound like I was attacking the Coast Guard, who was only trying to enforce a federal law? You were the one who was reading it the way you did because you think I don't want HSF. I never said I didn't want HSF, but I DO want at the very least an EA from the DOT.

                        What would $uperfascUSterry be to LikaNui if he did not have a motorcycle he wanted to take on his every whim to any non-Oahu Hawaiian island he chose?

                          No. HSF didn't hire them. That's why they're pissed off and protesting.

                            If that is something other than sarcastic it could act as a matching bookend to Mel's comment.

                            It has for generations been of USist mentality that "no one lives and dies by or with wholesome ethics: everyone has a price" for which they will bend over. Maybe those who refuse to bend over for corporatUSt$ should no longer deem themselves to be "Americans", but , in truth, those who are of and/or bend over for to please corporatists elitUSti$m are not Americans; instead, they are in league with global, the main benefactors of global, the concluding creators of global (ie, "global" only in the sense of sustaining) "Western" capitalUSi$m.

                              Just do one trip to Kauai. Get there in the morning, wait for a few hours and then return to Oahu.

                                A great idea. Give at least three hours for all on Kauai who protest superfascUSterry landings and deliveries at Nawiliwili Harbor to responsibly leave their work, getting substitute teachers if need be,,, to sail toward Nawiliwili to show that each single Kauai soul protesting against Lingle et. al superfascUSterrianism at Nawiliwili today represented the vast majority of the residents, voters and their allies who challenge this supposed "democracy".

                                How much would an elections office officiated popular vote cost the counties of Maui and Kauai, their taxpayers (employed and unemployed)?

                                What is so undemocratic about putting superfascUSterry dreams, plans , designs, when not outright corporatUSt deceptions and corruptions, to a vote by the residents and their government as to whether or not superfascUSterry landings and deliveries are deemed to be good for the residents onto which such "good" is delivered.

                                Certainly the cost$ of such a popular polling are less than even this one day's worth of US intergovernmental expenditures to protect when not otherwise project the wealth, reputations and/or legacies of today's corporatUSt$ Hawaii (esp Honolulu, of course) officialdoms and unofficialdoms.
