text: I know I was born in raised in Waiau two lane highway to the Westside as far as Kaena Point.  No traffic, no crime, all clean country and we all knew each other.  What went wrong?  Greed for money, uncontrolled development, military illegally occupies stolen land, no treaty of annexation, genocide, high industrial areas, infrastructure needs improvement, drugs, no respect for native culture scared lands and ocean,  and the list goes on.  These reasons fits perfect for the conference to be held here because they will see what happened to once a beautiful island turn into  concrete jungle with no respect from the leaders on environment and conservation issues.
