Contempt of Congress

Contempt of Congress

Garbage spewers

The United States Congress has found Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

I am informing Congress I am in total contempt of it, as are most Americans.

Congress, controlled by Republicans, has been unable to do anything except sit on its haunches and spew garbage.

Congress has become nothing more than an obstructionist body. Congress needs to wake up and smell its own stench. Then maybe they will be able to help solve the problems that face the United States.

Fish collecting

Shameful profiting

The subject of reef fish collecting shouldn’t even be a topic of discussion.

We’ve already seen the mortality rate as your photo in WHT a while back showed. Any fish, no matter what type it is should be left to live its life in the sea.

People who sell and buy them should be ashamed of themselves for profiting from the sale of nature’s work. Banning fish sales would put a damper on fish collecting.

Education is the only other way to make collectors understand nature put creatures on this planet so they can coexist in harmony with mankind.

Show me your badges

Just what we need: speed limit vigilantes operating without the consulting the police departments.

I guess what’s good for Arizona is good for Kona. “We don’t need to show you no stinkin’ badges.”
