The Dem Tribe Looking for a Chief Warrior to fight the Pub Tribe's Warrior

[opihimoimoi]

It is written that the Dem Tribe has 9 warriors all vying to be Chief Warrior.

They must talk to the many Clans within the Dem Tribe and convince them of their respective worthiness/strength/power/and wisdom

When the choice is made, all the warriors not selected usually assist the new Chief warrior in the Battle against the Pub Tribe and their Warrior. All the Warriors come together in a healing ceremony called Ho O Pono Pono, they all have one adversary, one thing in common, get the Bush outta the White House/

In the heat of this early elimination process it seems some warriors are saying things that will deter the healing process later on during the Ho O Pono Pono Ceremony. They are reminded to keep the focus of defeating the Kuppra. They can help by thinking before open the mouth.

Come, we prepare the Kawa, make the fire wood ready, gather stones, we go tribal, mo bettah

1. Is Mogwa available?

You know...the Iroquois man from Last of the Mohicans?

Okay, he may not be big on our philosophies, but he sure is good with a tomahawk! ~wince~ ;)

[opihimoimoi]

4. James Fenimore Cooper, LOL

The good guys?? Unkas and Chingaskook. Warriors of Class, Bravery, Wisdom, and were Dems too, (smile)

No Tomahawks until later...at the Big Fight

[HereSince1628]

6. Do we need a poll to see who is most like Natty Bumpo?

a.k.a. the deerslayer...

[opihimoimoi]

14. Was that his name??

I too old, cannot remember that much, its been 50 years

Vous le vous du Kawa?

[HereSince1628]

17. By my recollection, and it probably explains why he also

went by the name "Hawk-eye."

Saturday morning used to be great...tom and jerry, last of the mohicans, sky king, Fury....oh the ab-master infomercials just aren't the same.

[opihimoimoi]

19. I come from the days of Boston Blackie, The Lone Ranger, and

The Fat Man. All AM on the Dial, no FM.

Oh well, dem were da daze

[Bucky]

23. Unfortunately, Mogwa's campaign slogan would be "Scalp Bush"

Not the best image, IMO

[opihimoimoi]

24. Does he use a Tomahawk??

[RBHam]

2. O my god...

like i needed that imagery in my head...

yep, the weakest survive by ganging up and voting off the strongest...

the analogy is apt, though...

[opihimoimoi]

8. Sorry, begging your pardon, there is no mention of the warriors

ganging up on the leader via the Ala Mihi Syndrome.

The point was the Dem Warriors should keep their spears pointed outwards.

[RBHam]

10. i was extrapolating...

comparing the show to the primary process...

i tend to do that...

go off on threads of my own...

so sorry...

[opihimoimoi]

12. No probs

come, we go :toast:

[Kanary]

11. Oh great, I can just see the freepers

"Those primitive Libruls... now they're carrying spears" :)

"The point was the Dem Warriors should keep their spears pointed outwards."

Great line! Love the image.

I never could understand the expectation that anyone could say anything at all, no matter how combative, hurtful and damaging, then expect everyone to come back smiling and shaking hands. Ask any marriage counselor whether words can forever damage relationships.

Kanary, whose spear is *always* pointed outwards.... :)

[opihimoimoi]

13. EEEH, LOL, no point da spear ova here, point ova dere

Come, lemme pour you some kawa

[Kanary]

15. Dangitall... never *could* get my directions right

I'm already bizzzy, and now I need spearpointing lessons.

sigh...

~~gratefully accepting the kava~~ Maybe that'll correct my direction deficiency. :)

Mele Kalikimaka, opihimoimoi!

Kanary, with dreams of warrior hula dancing in her head, complete with kala'au.... :)

[opihimoimoi]

16. Aloha Nui Wahine O Kaaina

Ai, komo mai ai Kawa iki e ka papahele

Warrior Hula Dancers with Spears??? OMG. The vision! Breath taking!
Amazon Warriors from Hawa iki of Old, luv it.

[Kanary]

18. luwahine hea

Don't get down on the floor so well anymore. :)

Vision indeedy. Gotta love dem malos.. :)

Once saw a kahiko warrior dance, and the m.c. said he had asked the kumu (whose name is escaping me at the moment... told you luwahine....) what his kane would be wearing, and he replied, "Tattoos".

yummm..... :)

Kanary, with more visions of warrior hula dancing in her po'o
just a malahini, but with lots of aloha in her heart

[opihimoimoi]

20. Ai Kuuipo Kanary, nana i ka luwahine akamai

Komo mai Komo mai inu kawa i ka papahele lauhala

come, sit on the mats/floor, drink some kawa, soothe your spirits and mind.

Come, we eat pig, aku, opelu, and sour poi, then we sing and laugh

[DFLforever]

3. You should post this in the other GD/Campaign 2004 forum

people there need to be reminded of the final goal - provided they actually are Democrats who adhere to it.

[opihimoimoi]

5. How can I get the Mods to move this baby??

Its a good Idea. I didn't think, had forgotten where I was, lol

[RBHam]

7. too much kaqava root extract, opi?

that stuff'll make you go blind...

[opihimoimoi]

9. Yup, some powerful shit we got here LOL

[SpiralHawk]

21. Survivor 2004: On the Primary Plains

Tribal council coming up soon.

No candidates have won immunity yet. All will have their stamina tested, and thus require sacred Pinapple Nectar with biodynamic Bing Cherry garnish.

Let the preparations for the Ho O Pono Pono proceed without interference.

Meegwich, SH

[opihimoimoi]

25. I have much Kawa for the Ho O Ponopono

Enough for many warriors, when this contest is pau(fin)

Come, we feast, we drink, we celebrate

[JNelson6563]

22. haha fun analogy

Being Irish and being serious student of medieval history, I can relate.

It really is the same as it ever was but we use different labels. Chief, King, President, whatever. Warriors, nobles, legislators, whatever.

So many similarities a close study would make many very ill. Right down to work places which closely resemble private little fiefdoms.

26. Times have really changed over the past 2 or 3 thousand years, has it?

You would think we would see some improvements, especially in the past 60 or 70 years. But no, hardly, for its the same, the people in power, who are rich and influential, they wish the status quo. Should there be changes, it should be in the direction to make things better for THEM. And this is what is ongoing till today.

Our Dems wish to change this, make things right for the Common people. At least I hope they do.

The Earth has only so much resources for us Humans. Time is running out, Soon there be too many of us and too little food to go around. Our systems need time to reflect changes to deal with harsh conditions coming up, and unless we do it soon, we all are in for the deep doo doo. BushCo represent the OLD WAY. We need new and better approaches to these developing problems looming on our doorsteps. Overpopulation, global warming, shrinking resources, etc etc. The Pubs are nowhere near solving this shit.

We need a new vision.

Come, we go think

[Kanary]

28. Improvements? Went backwards, sadly

IN the 60's and 70's, there was room for hope. It looked like a change in thinking, and in the heart. Age of Aquarius and all that.

But, what the heck happened? Now it's worse than ever, in many ways. So very discouraging, and I'm rather ashamed of my generation. I sometimes feel like I have fought my fight, many years ago, and I'm tired and it's time to let the young'uns take over. For all our efforts, we shouldn't be seeing this. ~~deep breath~~ ah, well.....

Would like to hear more of your ideas of how the concept of Ho'oponono could help in our situation. It's obvious we need to stop repeating the old patterns that aren't getting us anywhere, and go in new directions.

Live aloha.

Kanary

27. Mahalo, opi!

You speak wise words... and remind me that I have new Kawa root soon to be delivered. :D

Aloha po, Akane!

:hi:

[opihimoimoi]

31. Sending gobs of K Root, enough to make mouth numb for months LOL

Aloha Nui.

Eh, you da guy from 'Nalo??

Mahalo for da comp.

Come, we go eat, I buy

[silverweb]

33. No, I'm no "guy"

Just one haole luahine on the mainland, kanaka. :D

But I have mahalo and aloha for pono aina, Hawaii.

Some day, I will visit.

[opihimoimoi]

34. LOL, I am sure starting to see many people who have Ma a of our culture

respond.

It is so refreshing to see the Aloha being shared and spreading.

And Thank You for having Aloha for Pono Aina

It seems not too many develope an affinty of Nature and the Eco System, Sad and Tragic at the same time.

The Pub use a system based on short term results. People who love Nature, they go for the Long Term.

In local pidgeon talk, "guy" is used for both sexes. Sorry for the confusion.

Come, we find some teriyaki and sashimi with cold beer.

[silverweb]

35. I get it..!!

Hawaii "guy" = San Diego "dude"

:D

Vegetarian teriyaki, did you say? I'll hop the next plane out! Not so sure about the sashimi... liking my fish cooked. *lol*

Speaking of Nature and the Long Term, tell me what you think of posts #79 and following here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=16166#16508

Come, we work Aloha with Dr. Dean in the 'ohana, the kaona, and the whole aina. :)

[opihimoimoi]

36. Greens and Dean both have long term success in mind.

They believe in investing for the long haul. The Pubs want fast money, they being the school yard bullies.

Their message sucks so they scare people into accepting their view points.

It will take a village to rid ourselves of Bush. Its not impossible.

Yes, we all must work together for the Common Good, the aina, the Ohana.

Come, we find Pinto Beans

[silverweb]

37. You are so right...

Together and for the long haul.

Pinto beans sound good. :)

Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka, Kanaka!

:toast:

[Kanary]

29. Opihi... ya gotta see the Message In A Bottle thread

Great stuff there... don't miss.
