Keep the North Shore Sane

This blog will be about the North Shore of Oahu. The focus will be on the politics, economics and lifestyle of the North Shore. The North Shore is such a small place, people are often intimidated and do not speak their mind. Here you can speak your mind. I accept guest posts either by name or anonymously as long as they are not obscene. Let's argue, let's be opinionated and let's really dig down into the issues that affect our lives here on the North Shore of Oahu.

Guest Post: Choon James

Aloha! Thanks for your invitation to your new blog. It is always a good thing when citizens like you take the initiative to open up dialogue about issues that concern us. I'm always mindful that America's democracy that protects free speech and free will is a God-given gift. I recently came back from Singapore and was again starkly reminded that the authorities consider it suspicious when there is a group gathering of 5 or more people. Of course, you do not hear or read dissent in the public media or discourses. The powers-that-be know it all and need no grassroots input. So, congratulations again for your efforts. I hope this blog will become a dialogue of great conversations and great ideas among our north shore residents. Every voice is important and should be valued. Choon James
