We were able to become Kauai residents in '05 and feel so fortunate. Can we just all try to increase the spirit of aloha? Would a monorail be of any practical value, assuming that the Miami project could be improved upon with small shuttle hook-ups to move people to their destinations. You look at the Syney, Australia projects, also, and you'll see that the traffic solutions with use of monorail and other adjunctive public transit have worked beautifully. Dress the monorails up with swaying palm trees and you would see a lovely way to decrease traffic congestion. One of the ways to transport yourself once you depart the monorail, by the way is the Chrysler electric vehicle resembling a golf cart, something which Palm Desert, Ca. (?) has recently adopted for street legal transportation. We first saw this cute little vehicle in wide-spread use in eywest, Fla. There is a dealer on Oahu who sells this. How about it Kauai and all y'all!? Aloha! Michael Bowles’ comments on Sept. 10th are exceptionally important and echo what we have been thinking.

How would we feel if Hawaii could lead the way, set the example for the much-needed shift away from fossil-fuel-dependence.

And what if the cruise ships and barges and other shipping vessels didn't use fosil fuels. What if, instead, we revive the sugar cane growing in the entire state, (produce solar, wind and other renewable power sources, stop using fossile fuel to generate electricity, etc., etc., etc.,)? Many people have learned that Brazil, ?, uses sugar cane to produce bio fuels for all? of their fuel? This fuel substitues for all or most(?) of their diesel engines. There is a kit that can be used to convert any engine to a biofuel engine What action is being taken to get on the right track. Could Superferry lead the way. What say you? Senior folks like us are the elders and find the superferry to be the only way to do a reduced-stress inter-island experience It would be excellent if planes didn’t use diesel fual.

We are not smart business people if we allow our businesses to depend on foreign resources. Maybe Bush/Lehman/Lingle want to teach us a really good lesson here! Be sure to take good notes and listen to what is "being" in our lifetimes NOW. Who has that much fuel to get rid of?? It's something to ponder!

The superferry can not make enough in revenue to ever stay in service without military involvement. Hawaii has been conquered once again by the World leaders. Hawaii now exists as a military state and will soon be under marshal law, I'm sure. Have you tried to walk the beach at Polihale? Military personel guard it and threatens you with arrest! Welcome to the new Kauai! I'm sure the tourists will really love it now! Aloha spirit is real in love and in anger! It's alive and well in all who feel it!

I am extremely disappointed in our "absentee mayor". What a coward he has been. I also feel strongly that the Governor should be recalled. She has, and continues, to cost hwawii's residents millions of dollars. Her acts regarding the superferry are illegal and immoral. She has polarized the islands and continues to be the voice of the superferry, not of the people. The damage she has caused is horrific. Someone should check her bank accounts...

Why not when the teachers went on strike? When the nurses went on strike? When the Ala Wai canal had the millions of raw sewage spill? When the Ala Wai & Keehi harbors became worse than an eyesore? When traffice went from bad to ridiculous on Oahu? Why not for all these people & places in our Hawaii where we live, work & play but "Yes" to these deep pocket,selfish & shallow greedy people from someplace else? From our Governor to our senators & representatives, it is amazing how you have sold out Hawaii for money. Shame, dishonor, disgrace are words that will forever be tied to your names. And your children's names. And your children's children. It will be written in history and will be there for all to see. Why a special session now? Why not when the teachers went on strike?

Give me a break. Next people will start referencing the superferry's CEO's submissions to the Wikipedia as fact. Curious to know how many politicians have shares in this corporation. Besides Say's son's trophy job, their is much more in the soup pot than this. I would also like to point out that this was'nt an island rivalry issue, until the newspapers and Lingle made it into one. Who is showing the aloha now. Star bulletin polls.. wow. Give me a break.
