Each time an expert from abroad arrives to enlighten and civilize the "barbarians" of the Friendly Kingdom, it gives me the creeps. Please do not ask me why. Idiots usually feel that way about people. There should not be any surprise that I fit in perfectly when I feel that way. The latest was the visit by Ms Imrana Jalal, a Human Rights Advisor for the Pacific Regional Rights Resource Team. Please put your guns away. That is uncalled for. I support human rights as well. -Tama Foa

At this time I would like to share my view and humble opinion on the situation and the impression of where we are with the discussion of changes for a free and independent elected form of Govt., that has been suggested and proposed in the past year, with all due respect to the status quo Govt. there seems to be a feeling of resistance to the majority of voices and opinion from the Majority of all Tongan Globally, a voice for a Democratic free and independent election form of Government for the next generations in Tonga. - M.

The Ha‘afeva Health Clinic is currently facing a real problem with transportation of its emergency case patients to the Niu‘ui Hospital in Pangai. The problem is inappropriate, unreliable, and unsafe mode of transportation for the patients. I have observed and experienced this problem for many years now. I have been hoping that the Government of Tonga would do something about it, but what's the big deal, we are just little island people. - Siosaia Fatani
