Wonderful post dharmabum. You bring up a lot of insights. In the interview with one of the witnesses to the death-by-inflated-boat, it was mentioned that the driver was known and they had complained to him before. The driver once broke their fishing lines and just blew them off. The Lanikai community does not understand that the cult is against fishing and the killing of animals for foo

Vox ~ I am more optimistic. Perhaps your comments were removed because they sounded too litigious for the comments section. There is an investigation going on and a lawsuit hopefully forming. This story is a big deal and I think the authorities are just being careful. It takes time to determine if it was due to gross or criminal negligence or a tragic accident. At this point, the cult i

Why can't someone go to the police station and get the report or interview police officers? Certainly there is a record available to the family members and lawyers of the injured and deceased. As far as I know, they have a legal right to sue the driver in civil court if no criminal intent is found. I hope that Lak's quick departure was to leave the cult and not to avoid extradition

Same operating system -- Fundamentalist Purity Butlerism and ISIS are merely different applications sitting atop the same OS.

I hate to be the cynic here, but when Tulsi's politics echo the commentator's politics like Bill Maher, Wolf Blitzer, and Greta Van Susteren they only see an ally and not what (or who) is really behind her. Both Hollywood and Washington are a game of masks and ratings. If there were not a need to offer a foil or contrast to Hillary Clinton and Obama, Tulsi would be of no interest. Th
