Aloha mai kakou„
I am sure you have received many letters sent by members of Kahea. I agree with every word
in thoses letters. I am writing in my own words in hopes that what we have to say will not
be dismissed. Allowing Gmo foods and unrestricted bio-tech companies to operate in Hawaii
is playing with fire. There is no way to know what risks we would be taking, but it is
clear that they would be significant. In the past mistakes were made, such as bringing the
mongoose to erradicate mice. Instead of solving that problem, it created new problems.
Conpared to the risk involved in playing with genetic material, those problems were
manini. I have a degree in Zoology (with high honors) and I am not "religious" either. But
it is hard for me to understand how anyone could not see the dangers involved in "playing
god" with genetic material. Please think carefu111y before you vote on this issue. The
'aina and its children need you to protect them.
aloha,
