The Hawai'i Supreme Court has ruled against a Big Island man who claimed he had to smoke marijuana to practice his religion in what he called the Hawaii Cannabis Ministry.

The court decided that Joseph Sunderland's freedom of religion didn't give him the right to smoke marijuana, but it didn't rule on whether Hawai'i's strong privacy protections would have shielded him.

Monkey Business

My YAHOO account is unavailable. I signed in early in the day - 24th of Aug - when I returned to the library on the same day and attempted to sign in, I could not. This is on the same day.

Too often when I use the computer, after my session has expired or I have logged off, I am denied access, after having my "time reset" by a librarian. I go from section to section trying to have it done correctly.




This must be comical to some because when I ask for an explanation, they are smiling.

I don't think it is funny for a patron to have to go from section to section to have done what each librarian should no how to do.



Finally I will have success at one section or another. This tells me that the different ones who reset my time are not being consistent with their procedures, or all the librarians do not know how.




I have had boxes pop up on the screen after having my card reset, that read "your internet time has expired" and something to the effect of being logged in on another computer, or something about all my sessions being used . A patron should not have to face this, weekly.

Keeping It Real

You can’t champion equality for your own people when you tolerate discrimination against any people because of who they are. Freedom is indivisible. You cannot grant it to some and deny it to others. It is either for everybody or it is for nobody. -- Christine Chavez, UFW

Hawaii's, BIG BRAH

Fact:Until installing "HireNet Hawaii" at the Department Of Labor - Work Links, staff had access to jobseekers' username and password. At the Hawaii State Public Libraries, librarians have access to patrons', or customers as we are called, pin numbers. Is anything private in Hawaii? Is there any access the state does not want, when it comes to personal records? Always citing "Confidentiality". Opinion: Confidentiality desired, to cover their tracks. Confidentiality compromised to gain access to personal records of individuals.
