Wealth so concentrated in the hands of so fewest (Mammon)

I never stop learning from Norman Tsuji’s 1924-2005 principal hanai son Manu — 1932 Olympic Gold medalist

 Pu’ue’o Buster Crabbe’s related ohana. Manu is young enough to be Roland Higashi’s born 1940 son, whom Norman never introduced Manu to. Roland is for Roland, despite Norman’s political mentorship of Roland. Manu & Manu’s dad & paternal grandpa exemplify quietist (think Madam Guyon) stoicism (think Seneca & Aurelius). Manu’s dad always intoned — regarding recurrent strife & 

 division in the

world — “There are many paths to our Creator. Love one, love all.” Wow

 Manu himself says that among mankind’s foibles ARE OLD GRUDGES

 Wow 

 Manu chooses to be a functionary for Heavenly Father. The world

has too many wanna be

chiefs & not enough humblest functionaries

. Despite Manu’s relatively younger age — compared w/us old geezers (

) — Manu gratefully rejoices over having experienced WWII’s greatest generation (Brokaw’s tribute to Brokaw’s dad) & the Korean War generation. In Manu’s line of work — Ted Kagoshima 1937-1998, Noboru Yamane (Holy Cross’ 

Rev. Susumu’s brother), Paul Matsumoto (not Wainaku’s Mokuhonua lane’s greatest 1940 Nat’l AAU 

 boxing titlist), Norman Tsuji (Gov. Burns’ & Gov. Ariyoshi’s “chief functionary

“). Manu truly is a leader among men (& women — Manu was a zillion times handsomer & sweeter than Tajiri & Roland Higashi combined, per Miss Hawai’i titlists down thru the decades — joking). BUT Manu invokes that Tajiri DID save BOTH Aloha Airlines AND Hawaiian Airlines from GOING BANKRUPT

 Manu was Operations at both airlines at different times. Which brings this closing thought — opposite of what altruism & egalitarian- ism that Tajiri has brought to our communities — never before in history has the richest 

1% own twice the amount of wealth that the other 99% cumulatively & globally

have

Religion to be Clare B. L.

Ha-vay, Corina, & I had lunch today at Ha-vay’s request. Pho bistro restaurant across the Old bowling alley. Ha-vay says he’s not coming to Coconut 

Grill on Sunday to fellowship w/you, Seto Sensei & dearest sweetest wife Bernadette Lauae Yung Seto, BUT he also said that — the last time after George Hanohano Sr.’s funeral — & he came after we started eating our lunch. Can never predict regarding Ha-vay.

Loss-averse Ha-vay makes it his religion to be stingy. Tragic for him. Time & Life & Fortune &Sports Illustrated Magazines owner & publisher Henry Luce’s gorgeous wife Clare Boothe Luce was loss-averse, rooted in her impoverished childhood — like Ha-vay. Which is why she was despised by all who knew her. When she did dish out barato 

— it was transactional — a decidedly beneficial for her — return on her “investment,” so to speak. So eros-excited Ha-vay puts out $500 at the drop of elected Council woman inept Sue Lee Loy’s campaign hat

, so to speak, & YET Ha-vay wonders why Ha-vay’s next door neighbor & fellow castle- keeper 

 Chris doesn’t consult w/Ha-vay

Because Ebenezer Ha-vay hasn’t contributed even a penny — 1¢ — for Chris’ campaign. Not even “a penny for (Chris’) thoughts.” And Ha-vay wonders why even at lunch today — Chris doesn’t come to Ha-vay for advice & wisdom. Sheez.

From Seto Sensei — 

 Didn’t know Chris and Ha-vay are neighbors 

. Wow! Awkward!!! 

 You make a plausible point that since Ha-vay has opted not to contribute even a single penny to Chris’ campaign, neighbor Chris is not motivated to seek Ha-vay’s advice. Politics

are so intricate and transactional like almost all human relationships! When Eve was deceived and when Adam then sinned, all human relationships became so butterfly-fragile and awfully snow flake brittle 

and complicated! All the more, everyone including common voters like me and shot caller political movers and shakers like undefeated solon Harvey Tajiri and charismatic Chris — instinctively do have hurt feelings and choose not to extend the hand of fellowship to the other. We all need the grace of Jesus who gives true, enduring, substantive unity and fellowship with God the Father and all people. Very uplifting information about the ethics of Hilo High Viking alum and Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna 

 . I was in awe of her scientific accomplishments. Now I also marvel at her morals to respect 

 life by not tampering with it. Also on a Doudna gene 

related topic, thank you for speaking in defense of a person whom many Christians consider to be the worst villain 

of all time — even worse than Hitler. You rightly point out that Darwin gets pinned with eugenics (which Darwin like Doudna never proposed) , racism (which Darwin never espoused), and atheism (which Darwin did not advocate!). Darwin and Doudna are heroes in my book. One clarification: I don’t believe in animal to human evolution such as monkeys 

 evolving into humans

 but I definitely believe in certain types of non human evolution like dinosaurs 

 becoming birds 

 . I know. It’s complicated. Contradictory. Confusing. Like the relationship between two gifted political leaders and next door neighbors, Chris and Harvey, both persons in another dimension 

 than Maoli Me!!! 

My feedback to Seto Sensei — WOW! Your acculturation as Ma’oli is complete

 Both Ha-vay & I knew Jenny Doudna’s dad Marty very well — UHH English Prof w/former Army 

background. Jenny’s sweetest mom Dorothy taught at HCC. If Jenny hadn’t grown up as the oldest of 3 daughters in Ha-vay’s upper Kaumana Wilder Road area in Hilo amid her beloved literal hila hila grass (molecular biology — life science chemistry starting w/Hilo High chemistry teacher Miss JeanetteWong https://www.civilbeat.org/2020/10/lee-cataluna-remembering-the-hilo-teacher-who-inspired-a-nobel-prize-winner/ — Jenny & Miss Wong never had biological brothers — only sisters — & craved for a brother — that interested them in natural selection’s overall population demographic gender equilibrium incl. genetics) — Jenny wouldn’t have had her intimate connection w/flora & fauna that spring-boarded her interest in genetics. Like strictest Army

 dad Marty — Jenny doesn’t cross the line to abominable Sir Francis Galton eugenics. Never

 WASPs over dusky

 Pa’ele (Popolos).

Tajiri’s UHH prodigy 60 yr. old Nobel Prize recipient Jenny Doudna’s most reliable molecular biology gene editing CRISPR REFUSES to enhance one’s genetics — as opposed — correctly — to treat a genetic condition. Jenny refuses to “order up designer babies,” so to speak. Not to mention that modifying one’s genetic code involves performing the change before the “beneficiary” is born to provide informed consent. Sir Francis Galton — Darwin’s much younger misanthropic cousin — coined the word “eugenics” in 1883 AFTER Darwin died in 1882 in order to misappropriate Darwin’s natural selection observations of flora & fauna — Darwin said that the “Almighty Creator (God) made humans” (Oxford U correspondences see yr. 2024 updates) — IN ORDER for Galton to espouse Galton’s racist theory of evolution that WASPS (Northern European haoles) — not 

 bees — are at the top of the food chain, so to speak. The darker — duskier 

 — you are in outward body image or appearance — the more primitive you are — like behemoth dark brooding cavemen — & jungle

 gorillas & apes. These invective laced words are Galton’s — not Galton’s most vehement adversary — Darwin

The suitor & his mistress

Here now at downtown MacDonald’s — this strappingly fit & slim Pa’ele (Popolo) fella in his age mid-50s — 6’0″ 160 lbs. — seems to love dearly his age early 20s Puerto Rican Haw’n “Squeeze” 

sexy most beautiful legs in short blue jeans — young woman whom I’ve seen before when visiting her age mid-50s tita-out Haw’n mom here at McDonald’s. I’m certain folks here now at McDonald’s are thinking — “Poor damsel, are you in distress (‘damsel in distress’)? He’s way too old to be your lover, darling!” I’m thinking — “Poor guy, you got a load (high maintenance) on your hands.” I can tell he’s no pimp of hers. He genuinely cares for her. She’s luckier than she realizes. He’s really her good daddy — a daddy she’s never had. She sniffles w/tears

on his shoulder. He loves her.

Bill Kikuchi — positive exemplar

From Seto Sensei —  So saddened to read about Kelly’s knee meniscus injury. I would be most willing to say a brief  prayer  for Kelly’s recovery. Meanwhile I shall be praying for her before Sunday also.   As for getting together with Gene and Karolyn Nagao, that would be wonderful, but Bernadette and I have commitments on Sunday, April 28 and May 5th . After that we are free on Sundays after church for the rest of May. My recollection of Gene Nagao is that he was a Boy Scout with my Cousin Terry Ogata at the Methodist Church. I wasn’t a Scout but Terry would invite me to some of their activities. I recollect that Gene was a very likable and friendly fellow. Bill Kikuchi, I remember well. When I was working with Pastor Cathy Poai’s older brothers George and Dennis and their cousins George, Koba, Mano, John and Joseph, we wanted to learn how to silk screen tee shirts  to save money for sports uniforms. Bill Kikuchi spent many hours in teaching the Keaukaha/Panaewa teens how to silk screen. And then when then unknown Dan Akaka ran against well known and well funded Jumbo Joe Kuroda for US Rep. , Bill taught the Keaukaha/Panaewa fellas how to make Akaka For US House banners with sheets and how to decorate the Hilo Akaka Campaign Headquarters in one of the storefronts near the Hata Building on Kamehameha Ave. I was totally impressed and grateful for Bill Kikuchi taking his valuable time to spend with Keaukaha/Panaewa Ma’oli kids from whom he would receive no monetary profit  ! I remember one day when he was advising a couple of the Keaukaha/Panaewa teens in his office about silk screening, and he said, “Sorry, guys, I gotta go and catch a flight  to Kona.” (Back then Hawaiian and maybe Aloha had limited flights from Hilo to Kona.) One of the Kanaka Ma’oli kids there asked Bill the question we were all thinking , “You fly  to Kona?” Bill answered with a smile , “I save an hour and a half  each way by doing that. Time  is too precious to be driving in a car  .” My thought immediately was, “Here’s a guy who values time  so much that he actually catches a commercial  from Hilo to Kona and back, and here he is , taking precious time  , in his other second story Kaiko’o area big office helping Kanaka Ma’oli kids to learn about silk screening! Now that’s a special kind of human being!! May God be kind to Bill in this difficult chapter of life he is going through. (TIAs? Micro- strokes? Age 82) I have the utmost highest only gratitude and respect for Bill!! My reply — You provided this wonderful testimony on Bill Kikuchi. Wow Thanks I wonder how you got to collaborate w/both Keaukaha & later Panaewa Ma’oli.  You’re so very special I’ve been very lucky to touch base w/you (so Christ-like) & Ha-vay (our greatest Civic Entrepreneur) I’ve mucho  anecdoted you to provide others w/your amazing humility & love for everyone. My mission  is to let others know of your exemplary qualities in Christ. Fulfillment to da max fo’ me Gene & Bill Kikuchi Hilo ’60 — born 1942 — are my exemplifications & emblematic of Hilo’s essential hospitality & enjoyment or quality of life. Bill is on his last legs. Gene had a Japan native evangelist (Baptist?) acquaintance over at Gene’s home a yr. ago. I told Gene about Yashijima’s Pentecostal evangelist in Japan — Yoshio Tanimoto 1889-1965, whose Issei dad owned the Tanimoto theater chain & the 1st Nikkei store on Kamehameha Ave. b/n Shipman St. & Haili St. — huge Tanimoto sundry store located by the Canario bldg. NW quadrant of Kamehameha Ave. & Haili St.

Hilo rooted engineers — plantation “cover each other’s back” feudal protectionism as victims of haole & Luso luna superiors — our 2nd Nat’l AAU boxing king in 1940 — plumber (not Watergate!) Paul Matsumoto of Wainaku’s Mill camp tract area Mokuhonua lane — after our 1st Nat’l titlist in 1939 — Pinoy Jose Mercado of Na’alehu Plantation — unfortunately Paul’s son got into Mitsunaga-like embrace w/Gov’t officials — tragic, sad — kawai sona (Japanese) — BUT U.S. Issei & Nisei were NOT saboteurs WWII — Imperial Japan spies detested U.S. Issei & Nisei — the strength of U.S. democracy shone brightly

No Japanese American was ever convicted of any act of sabotage during World War II. When they reached the camps themselves, they saw spare, prison-like compounds situated on sun-baked deserts or bare Ozark hillsides, dotted with watchtowers and surrounded by barbed wire.

MIT geologist Linda Elkins- Tanton’s yr. 2010 finding that there is plentiful water on planets thru-out the Universe is now widely accepted — intelligent life on our Planet Earth is because we don’t have more water than we do i.e. hydrological balance — lest there be no land left above sea level — as seen on Jupiter’s moon Europa that is all water & no land. Daniel Stone’s Deep Sea yr. 2022 pages 46-48. Mega- volcanoes & meteors came close to extinguishing life altogether 250 million yrs. ago — that gave rise to the 1st Triassic mammals that developed jaws that move in multiple directions — bringing the breakthrough ability to chew — that then transformed mammals into food- processing machines. Such ability to consume food efficiently & begin digesting food before it reached the stomach — gave mammals an important evolutionary tool & advantage. Dinosaurs had 150 million yrs. to get smart & didn’t — so what would another 65 million yrs. (Yucatan Peninsula 

got hit by a 6 mile wide asteroid w/the force of a billion nuclear bombs) have done for the dinosaurs

 Steve Brusatte’s Mammals yr. 2022 pages 42-46 & 169 & 175 & 259 & 382-390. Just 7% of mammals survived the Yucatan “bottleneck moment.” We humans are from a class of 6,000 mammals that split off from reptiles 325 million yrs. ago. Modern day mammals incl. humans — are from one of 3 groups — 

 egg laying monotremes, marsupials that raise their babies in pouches, & placentals like us humans — who give birth to well-developed young. There were many hominin species (not apes) e.g. Asian Denisovans — only one of which evolved into homo sapiens. BUT scientific evolutionists now think that our so-called “evolution” was pre-ordained & automatic, just as falsely maligned Naturalist Darwin thought in rebuking his much younger racist cousin Francis Galton who started the White Man’s Craze known as evolution today.
