I have observed great turmoil and frustration about the land as families turn against each other and the country as a whole is further torn apart by pro-democracy and pro-monarchy supporters being unable to reconcile their differences. Let there be no doubt, many in Tonga bear some responsibility for what happened on 16 November 2006 and the ongoing legal events that continue to tie up the legal process and stop the country from progressing. In no particular order these persons have responsibility and they do know who they are. - Christopher Harder

I read in Matangi Tonga and other publications about the news conference pertaining to objective and balanced reporting. I am not surprised by the recalcitrant attitude of the Tonga Broadcasting Commission Chief News Editor towards the Minister of Information's planned journalist guideline for government media outlets. - Heinz Koester

Where else in the world but with credulous Tongans could he be deemed respectable? Please Mr Harder, Tonga is now addicted to fatty mutton flaps, which no civilized Kiwi dares to eat. Tonga does not need another rejected product from New Zealand.

My eighty-year-old mother, who is a Tongan citizen and also a US citizen, was on her way to Fiji from Tonga on an Air Pacific flight of November 10, 2007 at 9:am.

Kolomotu'a's pig owners are weird, come to think about it. Families secure themselves and their property in and feed their pigs outside of their fence. So, the rest of the village of Kolomotu'a is their piggery. Hange pe 'oku pe he ha me'a. This is when the "gentlemen's rule" should be the obvious solution. - Mafi 'o Amerika Samoa

There was no dishonesty related matters, rather judgement calls. Since that time I have rehabilitated with appropriate courses including attending Alcoholics anonymous. I now do not smoke, drink or use any other substance. I work hard and I care about other people.
