WELL HERE WE ARE, YEAR NUMBER 2 OF THIS NEW MILLENNIUM AND AS A PLANET, WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE SAME WARLIKE POSITION THAT HAS BEEN SO PREVALENT IN THIS PLANET'S LAST 2,000 YEAR HISTORY. AND WITH OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL, JOIiN ASHCROFT, DOING ALL HE CAN TO USURP, ON A FEDERAL LEVEL, OUR CIVIL RIGHTS, BOTH IN MEDICAL MARIJUANA ISSUES AND OREGON'S "DEATH WITH DIGNITY ACT" WE FIND OURSELVES, NOT ONLY IN A WAR AGAINST TERRORISM, BUT ALSO WE FIND OURSELVES IN A WAR ON OURSELVES. DIVIDE AND CONQUER LAST THURSDAY 1/3/02 THERE WAS A MEETING IN KONA, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS NOT COVERED BY THE (H T-H), A MEETING WHERE A NEW SET OF RULES WERE INTRODUCED---RULES ON HOW THIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL WAR ON OURSELVES WILL BE PLAYED. AGAIN DIVIDE AND CONQUER. AND HERE WE ARE TODAY, ONCE AGAIN, TO GET REPORTS ON HOW MANY PLANTS WERE ERADICATED AND HOW MANY COMPLAINTS RECEIVED. AND THIS YEAR IS SOMEWHAT OF A MILESTONE, IN TfPIS, FAST BECOMING FASCIST, HYPOCRITICAL, ABSURD PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM, THIS YEAR IS 18 YEARS OLD----IN HUMAN LIFE OLD ENOUGH TO BUY THE LEGAL DRUG TOBACCO, AN ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE .THAT IS ONE OF THIS COUNTRY'S BIGGEST KILLERS. ~ J 18 YEARS OLD, OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE AND IT WOULD VOTE FOR ITSELF ~~'-ryio FOR WOULD YOU VOTE TO DO AWAY WITH YOURSELF AND DON'T KID ~ YOURSELF THIS PROGRAM HAS A LIFE OF ITS OWN, WITH MANY, MANY ~ DEPENDENTS AND IN ITS 18 YEARS OF LIFE IT HAS BECOME SO STRONG cg THAT "IT" CALLS THE SHOTS . ~ AND IN 18 YEARS IT HAS CHANGED ONLY ONE THING THE PRICE OF ~ MARIJUANA, IT HAS SOLVED NOTHING, BY ITS EXISTENCE, ONLY CREATED MORE PROBLEMS AND HARDSHIPS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS ISLAND.

TH I S PROGRAM I S 18 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW I T I S A HARD D I S C I P L I NE TO BE FRIENDLY TO ALL, BUT SINCE WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, WE MUST ALLOW ALL, WHO SO DESIRE, TO COME OUT AND SAY HOW THEY FEEL. MY FEELINGS CAN BE SUMMED UP BY ONE QUESTION. WHAT PART OF IT IS NOT WORKING THIS WAY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ? SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN I APPEARED BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE I LIT AND INHALED A SUBSTANCE SAYING, IN PROTEST I WILL DO SOMETHING I HAVEN'T DONE IN 36 YEARS. UPON LEAVING THE CHAMBER REPORTER JASON ARMSTRONG OF THE HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD SAID "HANK IS THAT . A MARIJUANA CIGARETTE MY REPLY "JASON JUST AS I SAID IN MY TESTIMONY WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF ILLUSIONS". WHAT IT WAS IS NOT IMPORTANT WHAT APPEARED IN THE NEXT MORNING`S TRIBUNE-.HERALD IS, "AS A PROTEST AGAINST THE GREEN HARVEST OPERATIbNS, HANK. ROBERTS APPEARED BEFORE LAW MAKERS AT TUESDAY' S MEETING AND LI`I~ ~A~ '`I-IE CLAIMED WAS A MARIJUANA CIGARETTE." `
