Very cool! Thanks for posting.
Better Place just made the announcement, 100,000 vehicle order to get things started. Hawaiian islands would be a natural place to test EV technology - small, isolated, environmentally conscious, etc.. Would love to see these cars here soon and be...
I truely believe that in order for Hawaii to compete in the global high-tech marketplace we must first expand our fiber optic communication network to the home and businesses. What I am proposing we do is to create community initiatives to complet...
Hawai'i, the island playground to the rich and famous, is paying a high price for its popularity. Many of Hawai'i’s unique plants and animals are under threat from habitat destruction, development, pollution and perhaps worst of all, alien pests. ...

Aloha Sally - Thank you for sharing your story. I'm very sorry to hear about your son, and I realize this is an emotional topic for you. I want to be sensitive to that.
That being said, this is a discussion about GMOs, and whether genetic enginee...

When purchasing prescriptions in Mexico "We are told by the government it not safe and we can only have a 90 day supply or be arrested"
Daniel;
I usually do not get into these subjects but this one I will weigh in on my beliefs and history.
I was born and raised on a farm in the Yakima Valley, WA. I grew up during a time when the government decided to release radiation from Hanf...
First my position on GMOs - I support responsible research on GMOs. The arguments against what is "natural" aren't particularly compelling unless they are coming from hunter gatherers living in caves.
I think intelligent, rational discourse about...
