The Hawaiian water official who came under fire (pun intended) for not releasing water in a timely fashion in order to fight the fires on Maui sounds eerily like the Indian guru Sadhguru about the sacredness of water. No problem with the idea that water is sacred because of all substances that remain in liquid form at or around room temperature, ONLY water EXPANDS when frozen which is why ice floats. If water acted like all other liquids, then water would CONTRACT when frozen which means the oceans of the world would not exist as water but be completely frozen over as ice piled up from the ocean floor to the surface. Also it would mean life would probably not exist, and certainly not in a form that would allow higher life forms such as humans to exist.
Okay, enough with my sermonette on the sacredness of water but the point is that it is quite likely that the Hawaiian water official heard Sadhguru on the subject of water but misinterpreted the guru to the extent that he politicized it to mean that he had to hoard water to the extent of not releasing it to help prevent the devastation and loss of life on Maui until it was too late.
PING!
I wander if everything is going to be like this if Vivek is elected ...
YES. Our hyper-individualistic, maximalist "human rights," de minimis responsibility-taking corrupted culture raises up the emotions, illogic and crank theories of the individual
We already accept: "I FEEL like woman, so I AM woman!"
So its easy to say: "I FEEL giving water to burning humans would offend mother Gaia, so I WON'T give them water.
The problem is that when asked for water to contain a fire, he hesitated to ponder equity issues. This guy is criminally negligent for the deaths of the people consumed by the wild fire. He’s not spiritual. He’s stupid.
There is no excuse whatsoever for his inaction.
No, it went right to plan to roast as many people as possible that day.
We still don’t know WHERE the fire trucks were that day.
Importing East Indian religion and culture has consequences. This is The Wealth of Diversity at play.
Better get used to it. Your rulers want to replace evil WASP America with a new people.
Oof!
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Heaven help the donkey party in Hawaii if the broader public there gets a whiff of the notion that it does not care if they roast to death in a firestorm.
Which of course is looking like it’s true.
To be fair, PI culture isn’t advanced either.
I'm done with the whole topic. Paradise should be enjoyed by those that live in it. Enjoy, you morons.
This was a deliberate, manufactured crisis to bring about Joe’s “Climate Emergency”.
“No problem with the idea that water is sacred”
It’s an absolutely asinine proposition to say that water is sacred, but this author has “no problem” with it because ice floats.
Have we reached peak idiocracy yet?
The Donkeys will be just fine.
This azz said sharing water needed “true conversations about equity”. This was a WOKE proclamation and nothing to do with a wacky religion. His WOKENESS BS killed over 1000 people on Maui. Hang him.
There was a Far Side cartoon that had God writing the laws of Nature. “Things contract when they freeze, except water.”
Oops. Didnt’t reconginze it’s your humorous take on this.
Mea culpa
