Trask-Inouye

Accolades kūkapaila to OHA Trustee Mililani Trask. You are the apple of many kūpuna's maka. Hawaiians are too passive, too long. No need apologize. It is a sign of weakness. Inouye is a tough bugga, no ean hurt him. Hilahila for those three for forwarding those private tapes to the media and to the Honorable Senator too. No class. Me thinks too mueh wahines on the board. We gotta balance the sexes. Nuha wahines gotta go. Especially when they quit committees. Miss haste makes waste diatribe is going to wait till us kūpunas all make (like the homesteaders) before health assistance comes. Lucky if I get five more

years to go. $175 eaeh month not for eat, only for medicine, is no fun when you eome old. Kōkua us now, not when we are six feet under. Six months of wala'au too mueh waste time. You young, you don't know what ma'i is all about. Some day you will look back, when you heeome makule like me. You will say, how eome I never had aloha when I was young. loane Kanohokuahiwi Kailua I applaud OHA in all of its efforts, but Mililani has gone over the top. While she may be pohtically powerful, she is horribly divisive in our community. I think she is doing more disservice to the causes of the Hawaiian people than she is doing good. It is very sad to me to see her bottomless anger directed at people who are trying to move all our people forward. Richard Duggan Honolulu
