Motion sickness bag, please: Green turns repuke over 9/11
http://starbulletin.com/2004/06/07/news/index4.html

Meiling Akuna, a Hawaiian-Chinese-American taro farmer from the isolated Hana community of Keanae, used to support the Green Party.

"The attack in 2001, 9/11, convinced me to be a Republican because of the admiration I have for a great world leader, George W. Bush,"
Akuna said.

Akuna is running for the state House in the 13th District of Hana, Lanai and Molokai.

"I am running because I see a need to change the status quo in government," Akuna said.


:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Of note to mainlanders: Keanae was the center of the 2001 outbreak of dengue fever. Perhaps there are neurological complications of which I am not aware?

1. 9-11 was very traumatic to America...
The weak minded are no doubt affected by it more than the rest of us.

2. Not to knock taro farming
but I can't see that it requires a lot of critical thinking skills.

A rich farmer has bought into the politics of fear. Too bad Your vote for bush* is just as wasted as it would be for Nader
