GREG, if you read carefully between the lines you would’ve not missed out that communist style and form of leadership was only used in the letter as an example. It was never used as a subject. I don’t write in disguise like “Holani Smith.” Because you don’t know me and cannot find me this may have led you into frustration and low blows. Deal and stick with better issues.
Your CUC agenda is becoming more of a daily complaint and politicians are no longer the Taotao Tano’s concern. Offer a solution. You must understand that CUC’s problem is due to corruption, the disclosure of which I give you credit, although it was not your initiative. Eventually, it will be resolved.
Why don’t you deal with real issues such as federalization? Why be neutral about it? Show that you can lead the 1,400 members of whom 40 or less show up for demonstrations.
I get goose bumps when I think and anticipate of the next screw-up statement you might say come August 15. I hope that will not be the case.
Here’s a lesson. You recall recently when the governor and the Washington rep. were having a party in D.C. playing ukuleles and singing their hearts out? Our Washington’s rep’s ukulele was fined tuned in an orderly musical fashion of DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO while the governor’s uke, tuned by a Chinese philosopher, was in a DO TI LA SO FA MI RE DO mode. Make sure, Greg, that when you get up there on 8/15, have your uke fine tuned. Don’t embarrass the community. And when the American National Anthem begins, place your right hand between your legs. If anyone asks you what it means, say that you’re affirming political unity. Comedian Roseanne Barr did it in front of close to 60,000 in a U.S. stadium showing a symbolic split of unity. When the Chamorro/Carolinian anthem commences, place your right hand directly over where your heart beats, feel the pride and show strong loyalty. Then begin by thanking Congressman Miller for his effort in passing the minimum wage by saying, “Now I can financially say to the guest workers on this island, If you got the time I got the beer, It’s MILLER TIME.” Proceed by asking them, “Those ladies in flesh-selling business in Garapan every night, are they going to be issued visas or residencies or political rights to vote? Can’t the Department of Exterior provide technical assistance to stop the illegal activities? And what about those workers who fake qualifications and biodatas?” Or better yet Greg, find more pressing issues regarding federalization and prep yourself for the big day.
My sincere appreciation for your invitation to join your association — unfortunately, due to the 1,600-mile differences in opinion it is with regret that I decline. I’d rather bitch and dine.
