			<title>In response to: Iraq tragedy grows</title>
			<description>Dave,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why do you still lament about the mistakes of the past?  We can't change what happened. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bush was correct: it *was* Mission Accomplished. The war *was* over with minor casualties.  It's the PEACE that we've been screwing up until Petraeus got on board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the real question is, what do we do now? ALL 3 Presidential candidates agree that a precipitous withdrawal would be against our interest and even committed liberal Obama would fight AQ (which is now clearly in Iraq).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm certain that you don't advocate a full withdrawal, do you?   If you want to look at our past mistakes, does the anti-war left accept responsibility for the 2 million that died in Cambodia after we pulled out of Vietnam?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lets stop talking about coulda, shoulda, woulda and bring a thoughtful, rational, responsible dialog to what we need to do TODAY.</description>

			<description>The CIA assured Truman that the Chinese would not cross into Korea. The CIA misadvised the President about Iraq. Do you blame all of the CIA's misinformation on Bush? Bush did not act alone in going into Iraq. It was a mistake but once that mistake was made, the choices became &quot;bad&quot; and &quot;worse.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
I think you advocate &quot;worse.&quot;</description>

			<description>... couldn't agree more with you on the &quot;College and Career Ready&quot; diploma.  If that's what this new one is good for ... what good will the other one be?  Shame, shame on the DOE.</description>

			<title>In response to: A new home</title>
			<description>I didn't &quot;enjoy&quot; your column regarding our broken education department, Dave, 'cause how can we enjoy bad news?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But your column seems accurate to me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, I don't normally agree with Hemmings (or &quot;Sonny from Kapolei!&quot;), and I won't now: the situation at the DOE is far worse than he thinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer is not to subdivide the state into separate school boards.  What is appropriate in a mainland state with a contiguous land mass would be even more damaging here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution is simple (doesn't mean easy): get back to the focus on education- support the good teachers, and the students will reap the benefit.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other words, get out of the ancillary programs such as facility empire building of which any educator administrator now and in general typically is incompetent.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quit throwing more crap including all these fad passing programs on the teachers, admin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This doesn't mean you can't support true change and innovation such as the best of the charters- provided they support the teachers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We need to quit accepting a lousy national average as a goal (Hawaii should LEAD; go to the head of the class).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a sour note, our best teachers leave the profession.  Their sad history is that of having the less than optimum union, no support by the admin, the parents or the community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gotta change.</description>

			<description>If it helps any, my computer guru told me to stay with XP - less buggy than VISTA even though Microsoft came out with SP1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Not that SP was that great but better than VISTA in his opinion).</description>

			<description>My Windows Vista has become sluggish and I get the &quot;not responding&quot; message a lot. It just freezes a lot and I just twiddle my thumbs waiting for it to thaw.  My iPod got full up and I couldn't figure out how to delete the songs I don't want to add the $30 worth of songs I bought.  I will try again, but the first time I did it, iPod's website just doubled the songs I marked off, so I then had halved the amount of songs available.  How not user friendly!  So Windows and Mac have both messed me up lately.  </description>

Maybe Hawai'i shouldn't tax retirees at all?&lt;br /&gt;
We should do the math for a VAT (or consumption tax)like Europe. It would more evenly allocate a fair share of the burden to our transient visitors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Car dealers already pack the charges for us in Hawai'i...and we pay it. That windfall should be going to the gov't not the Car Dealer oligopoly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

			<description>Good morning, Dave,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get your TurboTax done today for your 2007 tax return so Uncle Sam can send you your $1200 rebate in May 2008.  The rebate will help you purchase your new laptop.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

			<description>'Fraid it's windows BEASTA, Dave. (not Spanish, just a beast of a operating system)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unless you have computer illiterates, kids or unknown users on your equip, recommend you get rid of Beasta or at least turn off the UAC crap.</description>

			<description>Well, I didn't vote for him...twice!  As I didn't vote for Lingle...twice!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Funny how they take credit for the economy when it's doing well, but become silent and place &quot;blame&quot; when it's down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any wonder why so many, especially the young, no longer vote?</description>

			<description>Nothing is what's going to happen next Jan. 20 - both Clinton and Obama have voted to fund the war and will continue it, not end it as president. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cynthia McKinney, the Green Party candidate, would end the war as she, almost uniquly among Democrats, tried to do as a Congresswoman.&lt;br /&gt;

			<description>Check out the oil contracts- it was all about big oil...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The grand oil party of cheney and shrub has done its irreparable damage to our nation and the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, Dave, what about the millions of refugees and the at least hundreds of thousand Iraqis killed (more maimed or otherwise injured).  What about the tens of thousands of U.S. injuries, including mental disorders? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How CAN we put a number on an infinite amount of damage?</description>

			<title>In response to: No aloha for OHA deal</title>
			<description>To suggest that disagreement amongst Hawaiians means that there should or could not be federal recognition of a Hawaiian sovereign entity is like saying the lively debate at the legislature means we shouldn't be a state.  C'mon, why the higher bar for a native people who's political destiny was stripped from them by what the U.S. has admitted was an &quot;act of war&quot; by America?  If I take your great grandfather's house away, do I get to keep it because you and your siblings can't agree on who should own how much of it today? </description>

			<description>Charles Djou's idea of fiscal responsibility is spending thousands of our tax dollars to cement Wailupe Stream, the only natural stream left in his district. What vision! </description>

Your point is that biased, droning liberal propaganda is bad, but biased, droning conservative propaganda is good!</description>

			<description>Hey Learden,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Just push the button one time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. The Hamada, Slater, Prevadorous, Charlies Taxi anti-rail gang is more like 200 tops NOT 100,000.  Noisy, but not numerous.&lt;br /&gt;
