Democratic principles
I don’t know what the letter writer meant in the letter to the editor (published June 16), referencing Councilman Furfaro’s switch to the Democratic Party: “…That’s okay, he was never much of a Republican.”
I do, however, know what it means to be a member of the Democratic Party. Let me list but a few principles of the Party. The Democratic Party is: a party of Inclusion; a party that believes in the Separation of Church and State; in the system of “Checks and Balances” between the Executive, Legislative, Judicial branches of our government; A Woman’s Right To Choose; Equal Civil Liberties For All Americans; Native Rights; Protection Of Our Environment; and in the United States Of America Being A Respectful Member Of The World Of Nations.

It’s about time you devoted some serious space in your paper to this issue as it is one more people should be made aware of. Even though most of the print was from Pioneer and only a few inches from Mr. Query, the subsequent article from ASP that came out put things in a better prospective and balance, as it should be.
This technology does not really know what they are doing yet. That is why they are still in the “test phase”, which we here on Kaua‘i have the dubious distinction of being a test group for. One should look up all the dangers of this technology before accepting it as the thing to “save the worlds starving” as the industry claims. It has resulted in more pesticide use instead of less and sometimes a compromised nutritional inhancement of food instead of better. The corn being grown here is not even for human consumption and the Garden Isle does not need mutated corn to make Kaua‘i more green than it is naturally.
