  2. In regards to the recall of frozen teri chicken recently, has the product been actually tested to verify danger ? Is soy and salt not reliable preservative ? What happens to recalled products– are they destroyed or utilized productively if possible ??

  3. There is something fishy about this accident of Loretta Fuddy, and the new director. The fact she rebutted Obama birth certificate. Hawaii has always been a little mafia like in there schools and politics, like no white people. are welcome, but spend your money. and go home

  4. Its kind of funny that Kieth Yamamoto had swim trunks on, and they are not saying what hospitals each one was taken and how long after the accident , she died, who treated her. I still think it is kind of interesting , How big the Yamamoto's are on the island and how deep they go in state?
