    IMAGINE, A GOVERNMENT THAT REALLY IS ONE WITH ITS PEOPLE
(BLUEPRINTS, GLUE, AND HAWAII)
by H. Millard © 2005
Native HawaiiansWhat is the most essential and basic glue that binds living, and formerly living, and yet to be living individuals to other individuals whether they are animal or plant? Is it a piece of paper such as a constitution? Is it nebulous concepts such as "freedom" and "democracy"? Is it that they have occupied the same piece of land? No. Not one of these things is essential or basic. And none of them are very strong glue. What naturally glues together things that live or have lived or will live is having the same genome. In humans, this is usually expressed as being of the same race. - (Commentary) - (H. Millard index)

    New Zealand: Tongan protester threatens to blow himself up * "We are going to die for Tonga today, that's why we are here"
Property was damaged and punches were thrown at the King of Tonga's Auckland residence yesterday where a protester threatened to blow himself up with a device that looked like a bomb.
About 70 Tongans, including children, entered the grounds  on the invitation of the King's representatives to discuss their concerns about a month-long public service strike in Tonga. Police keep protesters from King

King Taufa'ahau Tupou IVHowever the protest turned ugly when they were refused a visit with King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV and a fight broke out among a small group of protesters and staff.  Police were called with two men removed to cool down and another arrested for wilful damage. Earlier, the lead protester Alan Taione had arrived at the entry of the residential grounds in a four-wheel drive vehicle draped with protest banners.  He opened the boot of his 4WD to reveal a bomb-shaped metal canister with a material stuffed into its mouth like a wick. Mr Taione, an Auckland motor mechanic, said he was going to sacrifice himself for the people of Tonga unless he got an audience with the King.  


 

    Australia: Aboribinal Black and white law clash over rape case

She’d been promised to him in marriage when she was four years old and her own grandmother had forced her to submit to her future husband but under Northern Territory law it was a clear case of aggravated assault and sexual intercourse with a child

The Ignoble Savage By Thomas S. Garlinghouse
Bashers of Western civilization wax nostalgic over an imagined Golden Age, when Noble Savages, uncontaminated by capitalism, enjoyed peace, harmony and environmental balance. In reality, prehistoric peoples waged incessant, brutal wars and hunted vast numbers of animal species to extinction - perhaps even the woolly mammoth and other great Ice Age creatures of North America.
