My governing principle, if elected as Governor, is going to be simple.
General interest (and basic rights) vs Special Interest.
As a citizen, everyone should have and enjoy his or her basic fundamental rights, which are guaranteed by constitutions and laws. But, we should also think our responsibilities as citizens, just like “Freedom is not free”.
Whether you are an Individual, Homeless, Union or its members, Native Hawaiians, Christians, Muslims, LBGT, Monsanto, Media, etc, we should always think about our responsibilities as citizens (or members of our society). That means, we should think about our duty as much as our right, especially if and when we voice or demand our rights.
I will always fight for your basic and fundamental rights, but don’t expect me to support your special interests, even if you may think they may be, or sound like your rights.
Please, remember, when I deal with any issue or situation, my position would be simple, and always be in and for People of Hawaii, FIRST; since, as Governor, I would have fiduciary duty to Our Citizens. (I will try to think and remind myself Our Current Demographics…)
Aloha.
P.S. My response to a question regarding Homeless,
“…as I stated, my fundamental tackling principle is as stated in the post, (today’s, General Interest and basic rights vs Special Interest). Please, figure out, if you can. It is an complicated issue, but I have a basic idea, as I stated in the post. (Specifics?, I may have to defer til I get elected, since it may have to be modified as we go, although I have some ideas…) Clue: I may treat Homeless, (sort of) some people with special interest… Aloha.”
Note: One reason why I need to defer my specific plan for Homeless, is because I may need help from other people and departments; it may have to be a community effort. For Example, I may need help from, among other people, legislature, police, judicial department, ACLU, private sectors (e.g. builders), etc… Thanks and Aloha.
Updated: I decided to share more specifics regarding homeless issue. Plz, check other recent posts regarding, e.g. Multipurpose (large scale) transitional homeless shelters. They may be used as shelters for hurricane, tsunami, bomb, or even used as makeshift detention centers, or even armory.
These shelters would solve homeless issue in short term, but also costeffective in long term.
Aloha.
