I know it's been awhile but I've been busy (writers block!!) and considering I'm not a writer you can see how perplexing this is. Well I was doing some research for the problem we're having with the idiots opposing the Super ferry here in the islands. I found a great article that pretty much covers what I wanted to say.... Oh BTW California , thanks for sending your problems to our island. Unperplexing Opposition to the Hawaii Superferry Special from Hawaii Free Press By Andrew Walden, 3/27/2007 2:37:44 PM First it is lawsuits blocking the U.S. Navy’s use of sonar during RimPac. Then it is an attempt to prevent the Army from training its new Stryker Brigade on the Big Island. More recently it is efforts to demand that the Hawaii Superferry complete an environmental impact statement prior to launching inter-island ferry operations. As Pacific Business News editorialized January 12, the Superferry opposition and obstruction, “continues to perplex us as yet another g...

In a number of carefully controled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter (There's that French thing again) of water a day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more then 1 kilo (French) of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of Poop. However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum,whiskey, beer, or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and /or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop Wine = Health Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, then to drink water and be full of shit. There's no need to thank me for this valuable information; I'm doing it as a public service. Aloha...kaha

The Metric System

The Good, Bad and the Ugly France (1786) ( France wants to be the center of the universe, as usual ) When the French Revolution came around, a bunch of French intellectuals ( oxymoron ) were sitting around “DOING” measurements. These intellectual types aren’t sitting in labs or making things, they’re just drinking wine and looking at measurements. At the time it was decided that the metre ( French spelling ) should be one Ten Millionth the measure of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along the Paris meridian. Baa! Baa! Baa! In order to reinforce their theory on where the center of the universe is located, they made a metal pole called the “Official Meter Rod” (The pole was made with platinum-iridium alloy with two hairline markings indicating the length of the official meter, when the pole is at 0 deg. Celsius) ( A lot of wine went into the creation of this pole ) About the time the French adopted the Metric System, sentiment in the US was pro-F...

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil. These companies import Middle Eastern oil : Shell............................ 205,742,000 barrels Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels Citgo........................from South America , from a Dictator who hates Americans If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $55-$60 a barrel) Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil: Sunoco...................0 barrels Conoco..................0 barrels Sinclair.................0 barrels BP/Phillips.........
Here are some rules to think about: Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, learn from your mistakes. Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Rule 8: Your s...
