I think Trustee Apo is forsaking his sacred TRUST obligations by misleading the public in how they perceive what are true Hawaiian practices and values. Yes, we believe the kapu system works and did work for centuries here in the islands. But in today's world, there is no honor among those with money and power, and the commercial fishermen, with the help of the folks at Wespac - Kitty Simonds et al - are trying to manipulate public opinion with these ads on TV, making it seem like Hawaiians won't be able to practice cultural gathering of fish in the expanded monument. Until we can make the kapu system a global practice, we cannot afford to allow unlimited commercial/longline fishing in waters around our islands. People who want to make money out of raping the seas will deplete the supplies of our favorite island fish and would pay certain Hawaiian "practitioners" to accompany them on their fishing boats in order to gain access to fishing grounds in the restricted area.
