Knowing our enemy
Mahalo nui to Trustee Oz Stender for his excellent article on Thurston Twigg-Smith (KWO October 2005). If we Hawaiians are to do battle against a misguided and misdirected America and those who would undennine our heritage, our culture and all that we hold dear, it is imperative that we clearly see and know not only the challenges, the obstacles, the
hindrances and the hurdles that lie before us, but our enemies as well. Thank you for clearly opening my eyes by delineating, precisely, one of our oldest foes. My only question is: Why? To a land and culture that has given him and his ancestors for many generations so mueh prosperity and so many opportunities, why is he so vengeful, unapologetic and envious, and why does he hold so mueh hatred against Hawaiians? He reminds me of a virus, out of control, that attacks its host continually, ultimately achieving not only the death of its host, but its own demise as well. Carissa Cranmer 6ainesville, Florida
