-vol~6 no. 8

Legislative report: byMELAYAU

There is a need for a commu- · nity college at Fort Ruger to accommodate the rapidly grow­ing student population of East Honolulu, Provost Fred Haehn­len told the Senate Higher Ed­ucation Committee last week. His testimony clearly supported

· with ample justification, the re­location of KCC to Fort Ruger.

The move will accomplish se­veral objectives, he said it will provide the eastern sector of O­ahu (Honolulu to Hawaii Kai) with a facility for higher educa­tion, relieve the existing ·pres­sure of providing more adequate facilities at KCC, increase the capability of KCC to accommo­date more students (Approxi· rnately 200 persons were direct· ed to other community colleges last fall because of the lack of facilities at KCC). And provide the students with an environ· ment of natural beauty at the new campus.. site.

Senator Patricia Saiki, a mem­ber of the committee, empha­sized the requirement for pro­viding adequate parking areas and traffic patterns~ She said residents near or adjacent to the Ruger site have expressed great concern for proper plan­ning in these areas. She also suggested meeting with the com· munity associations of the im· mediate area and making a pre­sentation of the overall plan for a community college at the Ru· ger site.

Haehnlen said he plans to make presentations to all of the surrounding community associa· tions plus those extending out as far as Hawaii Kai.

·George Higa, project coordina­tor for the KCC move, has been working with city and county a­gencies to insure proper plan­ning.

Approximately 150 parkiDB spaces may be provided with a capability of expanding in the future, Higa said. This provision should be more than adequate for the first and second incre­ment of students commencing studies at the Ruger site, begin­ning this fall, he added.

Higa assured the committee that there would be no displace­ment of families because of any road widening. Kilauea Ave .• be­tween 18th and Makapuu Ave., will use state property in lieu of private property if widening be­comes necessary.

As for bus transportation, Hi· ga said:

"The agencies responsible for public transportation have ex­pressed full cooperation in pro­viding adequate services to and

from the facility. This may re­quire additional buses, change of present routing, extension of present routes, or a combination of all factors."

It is reasonable to expect that the Liberal Arts program will double l::y 1981, with the great­est percentage being generated from east Honolulu when the new campus becomes a reality, Higa said. The Ruger site would be able to handle this require­ment providing the funds are a­vailable. ·

The primary problem associat­ed with any move of this nature and magnitude is "MONEY". ·Present building at the site are being renovated in stages

BENEFITS

to accomodate a campus popu­lation of 1400 students by Janu­ary, 1976 and a complete phase­down of KCC and phase-in at the new site would be completed by 1980.

However, during the interim (1976-1979) the annual operational budget must be increased to ef­fectively operate both facilities.

Although the present legisla­tors are extremely "cost con­scious", the Senate Committee members present did not ques­tion or express any emotional reaction to the operating bud­get requirements presented by Haehnlen. Community accept­ance appeared to be of prime concern to most.

introduction letter by·JOHN C. CRONIN

I am not going to attempt ro write a letter of introduction full of high hopes or new changes for KAPI'O. Just like I can't run around campus with a stack of newspapers shoving one into the hands of every student I see and forcing him to read it.

This is not the job of an editor. Then why bother to write any­thing at all? For that matter why bother to even have a newspa­per? Is the student newspaper merely a tabloid for dates to re­member a place w.here journalism students can see the ir assign­ments in print?

Is it a useless drain on the activities fee that nobody asks whether you want to contribute? {s it a training camp for the future reporters of the world? Is the student newspa­per a neutral ground where liberal -thinkers vent their gripes against the administration, and then bask in the glow of being on a first name basis with the same people they slammed?

Is a student newspaper a good excuse to create a power strug­gle with everyone but the individual student benefiting? Is H a "learning experience"?

No? Yes? This is beginning to round like an essay contest. Since I've been asking myself these questions, I feel I can an·

swer a few of them. Whatever KAPI'O is, it should not be used or manipulated by

any one man or any organization. It should be a leader and not a follower.

A paper exists to inform and report. All of the other ga.rbage that interferes with these duties are luxuries that those who would oppose the press enjoy as respites.

Survival in a concretejungle by JOHN C. CRONIN

There's a survival course being taught at KCC. It's not jungle training or mountaineering al­though there are many parallels that can be found between them.

The course is being taught by Chris Nuthall, as New Zealander with many ideas on education and teaching · methods. The goal of the course is to train kids in the Food Services field. But it's not just as easy as that.

"I'm given kids that supposed­ly can't make it, can't find jobs and can't function in a high school system. I'm asked to train them in lower Food Service jobs, find them jobs, and work with them on the job."

Nuthall's program of continued counseling is something of his own design. In the past when these special students completed their training at KCC, they were just left to their own resources. Nuthall feels it was like abandon­ing them.

Talking to Chris Nuthall is an experience in itself. He exudes energy and determination. He is a combination of friend, boss, and teacher to his students. He nei­ther pities them nor tries to dominate them. What he does do is give them a taste of what it is

record review

like trying to survive in a world where they have already been made to feel like outsiders.

These students are not only limited to the lower Food Ser­vice jobs. Those showing high · motivation for cooking are put in­to George AuHoy's cooking class. AuHoy is an instructor in Food Services.

Also included in Nuthall's pro­gram is Cassandra Kauwe. Ms. Kauwe has trained under Dr. Ian Evans, psychologist advisor to Goodwill Industries special pro-gram. .

One important aspect of Nut­hall"s program is the the stu­dents feel integrated into Food Services. He does this by encour­aging them to attend school func­tions and some ·Food Service lectures.

When asked how the students were progressing and if they were capable of grasping the fun­damentals of the job, Nuthall re­plied, "My students have broken fewer dishes than the regular · students."

Nuthall likes to break the mo­notony of school work and train­ing by showing movies. His point is that in order to keep these stu­dents interested you have to let them relax. Not everyone thinks

country rock .. by MARK TAKAHASHI . Featured here are two · LP's

from A&M with a special blend­ing of urban country-blues:

Gallag.her and Lyle's . latest called The Last Cowboy hasn't anything to do with cowboy mu­sic, (the kind that Hank Wiiliams used to play,) despite .the title. Instead, they sound like members of a Paul McCartney fan club who learned a good deal of Mc­Cartney"s "cutesy" mannerisms and "oh-so-sweet" lyrics; in short, it's perfect Top-Forty mu­sic. It may be a bit too perfect, an over-orchestrated disc with no ~ough edges and "gut feeling."

There are a few high points w:ith some interesting and excit· ing sax and guitar solos. But like Ray Charles once said, "Mustc has got to jump up and grab you," and unfortunately, this mu· sic does not. It just arouses casu­al interest at best.

The Ozark Mountain Daredev · ils, a six-man rock, folk and blues group have produced a unique hybrid album that contains trates of nearly all the pop IT'USIC forms of the '60's. The album, It'll Shine When It Shines is weH worth the ·growing price of vinyl just to bear the versatility of this group.

There are hard rock songs such

KAPI'O"S MESOMORPH,

a:s · -"Look Away" and "Tidal Wave" interspersed witi1. folk bal­lads like "It Couldn't Be Better," complete with chirping crickets and controlled, peaceful guitar playing. The over-all harmony this group produces isn't revo­lutionary, but it's great for cre­ating a mellow mood for late­night romancing.

Unfortunately, the liner notes delete who plays what, except for some high-strung solos by Glyn Johns, which are quite tasteful.

We should be hearing a lot more from "the Devils," especial­ly from 'lead vocalist John Dillon who wrote most of the material with Steve Cassh.

FOUow the progression of coun­try-oriented rock with these !lew releases.

·CHUCK HIRATA.

by CHUCK HIRATA .. You may have noticed a 200 pound mesomorph cavorting

about the campus with a camera dangling from his shoulder. · classical shutter bug don't yuu think? ·- That person who might intrude into . your privacy is me, Chuck Hirata.

I am . presently Chief Photographer for Kapi'o. Added to my regular assignments, is the general campus beat. I seek out the moods of the students, find out what their gripes are, and make it known. I'll a·lso submit pictures of any condition on this campus that deserve attention.

So, people, if you see me coming, don't hide, confide.

like that, however. "Some people don't think I

should be showing movies. They think I should be showing them how to clean a Jork."

Whatever his methods are, Nut­hall has had 100% success finding jobs for his trainees.

Nuthall has fantastic rapport with his students. It takes a cer­tain kind of person to teach this course. It takes a person with high energy who yet must also have a great deal of patience. Such a person must also be able to gain the trust of students who are already unsure of their places in the world. Chris Nuthall is the man for the job.

EDITORIAL hope that everyone

read the story by Senator Fillicelli. In it he explains how $1000 of student funds are to be spent, pending the approval of the Senate You can call it honest poli· tics, I prefer to call it pre­ventive maintenance.

I was present as a meet­ing where the budgeting for · this trip was being dis­cussed. It was my sugest­ion that Senator Fillicelli write the article. My rea­sons for this were very simple. Instead of coming out . with a smashing expo­se of how the activity fee was being spent and not g1vmg the ASKCC a chance to explain, I felt ffiat" it would be a cheap performance doing nothing beneficial for the campus. It is not the duty of the paper to create an atmos­phere where nothing gets accomplished and nothing gets accomplished when people are at each others throats.

People too apathetic to pay attention to what is happening wait until they feel they have been wronged to become a­roused. The only thing wrong with that type of thinking is that many times it''s too late by then.

There will be no defen­sive positions this semes­ter. If this paper has any­thing to say it will be to state the truth, and the truth leaves no room for argument or excuse. There is no need for defense when there is nothing to fear.

As long as Student Go­vernment and the admini­stration are open and a­bove bOard with everything they do, this newspaper will not sit like a bunch of vultures waiting for some­thing juicy to pounce on.

However, if at anytime it is discovered that the peo­ple in positions of respon­sibility are misusing their power or not dealing with the students honestly, there will be no heated de­bates, no damaging ru­mors, or no sides chosen. All we will do is expose them for what they are and the rest is up to you.

''NtmiALL HERE"

_pro--~r~ger move "The Ruger Campus will defi­

nitely be the most beautiful cam­pus on Oahu," stated Jim Em­bre, director of community ser­vices at KCC and historian of the future Ruger campus.

It will eventually be the most beautiful campus as well as one of the largest of the Community Colleges. It will encompass ap­proximately 52 acres bordered by Diamond Head Road on the ma­kai side, Kilauea Avenue on the mauka side, with 18th and Maka­puu A venue on the Koko Head and ewa side respectively. There is more .than ample room for fu­ture building because a large portion of the land has not been developed .

The reasons for the move from the present campus have been hashed over and over again, but for review, they are summarized here.

This campus is too small. Building on the present site is

unfeasible because noise will af­fect the majority of the students. Also additional students will have to be referred to other schools because there will be even less space to accommodate them. Lack of cilassrooms causes lack of space for prospective students.

KAP/'0

Some facilities, such as lab, are limited or nonexistent.

Parking is a problem because of the congested area the present campus is situated in.

The noise and a nearby high school do not contribute to col­lege environment.

The future campus may solve these problems. It has unlimited space to build. It is quiet and quite cool in relation to the pres­sent campus. Ruger has a tennis court and an athletic field, which could encompass the entire Kapi­olani campus, including the park­ing lots. Some lecture classes will be held in the Fort Ruger Community Theater.

Renovation of the area should be completed in August of this year. Renovation will include five buildings, two destined to hold twelve classes each. Next semester 650 new Liberal Arts students will make the fir~t move. The buildings include per­manent wooden and concrete structure. Initial funding for the renovation of Ruger will be ap­pro~imately $650,000.

This is the first part in a series of articles dealing with the move to the Ruger campus. The next will deal with the reasons against the move.

New• Brew by CHARLEY CONTOIS

Do you sti'll think Pr.imo beer tastes like Ala Wai slime? If so, you probably haven't tasted the new Primo.

The Hawaii Brewjng Compa­ny, makers of Primo beer, has undergone great changes in an effort to again make Primo beer the number one selling beer in Hawaii.

The old Primo was a Hawai­ian tradition for years. Since its introduction in 1897, it was quick to become as much a part of life as a friendly smile, the A'loha shirt, a lei at the air· port, or a warm, sunny day.

Pl'!imo was hoisted in celebra­tion at the close of two World Wars and was around to usher in Hawaii's State.hood. Every­thing was going so well for Pri­mo that in 1964 ground was bro­ken for a brand · new Primo plant in Pearl City. By 1966, the new plant was operating and running three shifts a day to keep up with the demand for the Island brew.

Primo was number one until 1969 and then sales started drop­ping. No one exactly knows why. Maybe the fact that Primo was the only Hawaiian beer or that the pure Hawaiian water came from the artesian well 4,065 feet below the earth, in a sma'll valley in the back of Ha­lawa Quarry.. No longer im­pressed people, Kind of Jike a passing fad.

In 1971 rumors of a shipping . strike struck fear ~nto the hearts of brewery heads as they ordered 300,000 extra cases of beer to make sure they didn't run short. These 300,000 cases sat on warehouse shelves too long and when they finally got into stores the beer had turned sour.

When the shipping strike did occur, Primo was faced with the problem of transporting beer by air freight. This caused great problems as the beer sat

in the hot sun in stainless steel containers at the airport and then again at the warehouse.

Being exposed to the hot sun like this causes a process called "second ferm~ation!" which makes the beer taste very bit­ter. There's a saying about beer, "the fresher the brew, the better the taste" and Primo was not making it. Sales start­ed dropping very rapidly.

On November 2nd .. of this year, Primo came out with the "New Primo", a campaign for a new image and hopefully, new sales.

· "What is the .new Primo?" Well, the brewing process has been changed. Previously, Pri­mo was brewed at the Joseph Schlitz Brewery in Los Angele.:;. After it was br-ewed, all the wa­ter was "knocked off' and ~hen containerized and shipped to Hawaii as a concentrate. Up·;a arrival, water and yeast were added and then the product was put through the fermentation process.

Now Primo is completely 1::· hnd Brewed in Hawaii whic!1 makes fresher beer with fewer possible complications. Today sa'les are up and . again Primo is soaring toward the top.

Having asked a number of students here at Kapiolani, if they like the new Primo I got a number of varied opinions. "I don't drink beer", "It still tastes like s--t.", but mostly "It definitely tastes better."

To my sur.prise the owner of Apollo'·s market in Moiliili, J'Ohn Matsukawa, said "1 still have requests for the old Pri­mo."

"We look around at where Pri­mo is today and we're proud. We've come an awful'ly long way since we thought Hawaiian water would make good beer. And we're glad we were right. So with one foot firmly planted in our past, we look forward to our future," according to The Primo Story.

More benefits for veterans

G.I.'s, the eagle has done it again! The purse strings have loos­ened up a bit and Uncle Sam has decided to generously increase monthly payments to veterans.

The new monthly rates are as follows:

FULL· TIME THREE-QUARTER HALF-TIME

NO DEPS I DEP 2 DEPS EACH ADD. DEP $270 $321 $366 $22 203 240 275 17 135 160 182 11

A retroactive check from Sept I to Dec 31 has already been tnailed out by the US Treasury in St. LOuis, Missouri, com­puter center. Any changes in a vet's credit hour load during his en­rollment peri·od may delay payment because necessary adjust­ments will have to be done manual'ly at the Veter­an's Administration.

Besides the cash increase, a nine month extension of benefits to the 36 month entitlement is now in effect. This extension can only be used to complete a standard undergraduate degree. Those in a graduate study program are not eligible.

Veterans with a ten percent disability are now eligible for voca­tional rehabilitation benefits. This is a change from the previous 30 percent disability requirement.

A $600 loan for an academic year is available for veterans. De­i tails are available at the VA regiona'l office and the KCC Vet Rep.

Imua Diamond Head by JIM E·MBREY

Hauoli Makahiki Hou 1975. It's a New Year, and a very special

· one for all of us at Kapiolani. This is the year we've been wait­ing for--the beginning. of our movement to our new home at Diamond Head. Hence, a new column in our newspaper ·de­signed to keep you informed of the lates happening on our plan­ning for the Diamond Head Cam­pus.

In case you haven't jotted down the address for the campus, take note:

Kapiolani Community College Diamond Head Campus 4303 Diamond Head Road Honolulu Hawaii 96816 The Diamond Head Campus is

located in the Kaimuki area a­bout five miles from downtown Honolulu and immediately north of Diamond Head Crater. 1

Our new campus consists of 51.628 acres and bounded by Ki· lauea Ave., 18th Ave., Diamond Head Road, and Makapuu Ave. Yes, there is a bus line that runs adjacent to the parcel of land e­very 15 minutes beginning at the Koko Head-Waialae terminal and

ending at the Pearl Harbor Loop (Route No. 3)

The state of Hawaii purchased the Fort Ruger land in August 1974 for $5.4 million-appropriated by the State Legislature, following release by the Federal Govern· ment. By the fall of this year we expect to have about 750 students on our Diamond Head Campus (650 Liberal Arts and 100 Health Education students). Originally, we planned for more students to start in the fall, but because costs for renovations of existing buildings has increased since plans were made, we will start with a smaller number of stu­dents.

In the years to come, as we 1 'phaseout" out present site and build at our new site, there will be a lot of adjustments to be made. We will be operating two campuses for the next several years. Perhaps a key word to end this first column on our new cam­pus--a key word to all of us at Kapiolani--is COOPERATION. We have a great and extremely busy new year ahead of us. Let's de­finitely attack the work this year with an IMUA DIAMOND HEAD!

New Dean NEW DEAN

There is a new Dean of Stu­dents in the process of being se­lected. Seventeen applicants an­swered the ad. All applicants had to fulfill this five point cri­teria: 1) masters degree, doc­torate preferred, preferably in student personnel work; 2) mini­mum of five years experience in student personnel work; 3) two years ad_ministrative experience related to student personnel work; 4) experience with organizations serving community colleges; 5) community college phil~sophy

and experience.

The six person committee screening the applicants, will make recommendations on three who are full qualified. These na-mes will be given to Provost Fred Haehnlen. Haehnlen will then send the names of one of the applicants to the Board of Regents for approval.

The six person committee is made up of Student Government Representative Tony Fellicelli; Faculty Senate Representative Donald Chu; Student Services Representative Lydia Leong and Barbara Nomura; and Adminis­trative Representative and Chair­person Harriet Nakamoto.

W aikiki---beaches & hotels by REX CROUCH .

On a rainy, dark and dreary day those of us without cars or other dry transportation are faced with one further dismal disappointment. We have to ride the bus. The bus, as most people are probably aware, is a form of transportation. No mat·e, no less. Convenience, comfort .and courtesy have nothing t•.> do with getting "warm bodies" from one place to another, hopefully on the same day rhey start.

I've always been somewhat proud of the fact that I've been able to iiv~ most of my life with· out owning a car. Mass trarospor­tation always seemed to be a rea­sonable ·idea to me and buses ap-. pear to be the most practicable • form. However, I have never fig­ured on dealing with those friend­ly fellows in Frank Fasi's fleet.

Some people may say I lear:1 pretty s·low, but aft~r several y~ars of trying to leAd an orderly life and depending on tb~ bus for transpo:-tation, I finaliy conclud­ed that the two ideas were mutu­ally exclusive. I finallv broke down and bought a bike. ·It's fast-

er, for one thing. But a bike, even . ~1 fancy French impc.ri, isn't much fun when it rains. Walking c·n the other hand, is just as ~Net, and sometimes takes even more time than the bus.

f.o during the rainy se ·~·;on I'm back where I started waiting for the bus. Or (after the rain lets up a bit) on one of those fellow beasts which is just as bad.

Now, I like to make the most of any situation I moved to Waikiki where supposedly the rain is at a minimum and the bus service is at a maximum. I can't argue with the weather but I've actual­ly heard some tourists comment favorably about the bus service . But too much of even a good thing can be a drag sometimes.

· To the seasoned cynic, a little ex­tra bus service is like a little ex­tra measles.

Boarding or attempting to board a number eight bus at Ala

. Moana Center for "Waikiki Beach­es & Hotels" will provide anyone with a fairly comprehensive view of many of the bus's faults. It ap-

pears that i:1 order to qu<1lify <ts a driver on :his particular route an additimnl shortc\_)l"r.ing !be­yond the usual requirements) must be demonstrated. A feeble sense of humor must be con­stantly inflicted on the poor off­balanced tourists. (I do remem­ber one driver who kept the en­tire load of passt'!ngers, including myself, in stitches for a solid half hour on a q11arL·~r mile trip bul I think he got fired for excessive competency).

Of course, since the Ala Moana route runs more frequeqntly than any other route, artificial means must be employed to simulate the overcrowded conditions found on the "country" routes. The number eight buses are supposed to leave Ala Moana every five minutes. But by careful planning, however, the drivers will allow an impatient hoard of passengers to accumulate for about a half hour. Then suddenly three buses will pul'l up to the passenger loading zone. Pandemonium re­sults as almost all of the tomist;; manage, by various m~ans to cram their bodies into these wait-

ing buses before the drivers dart

closing the doors. The bitterly disappointed few remaining need not fret however, the other three buses will be there within two minutes. These practically emp­ty buses are much more speedy and maneuverable. Why? The better to run down terrified bikers. Although the passangers may not get a laugh out of ter­rorizing bike riders they usually get their quarter's worth by arri­ving at their destinations a little sooner than they would had they walked.

It's more fun being on the crowded buses though prodded you have the time and are in a position to appt"eciate what's happening i.e. ~eated. If the driver's sense df humor isn't enough to keep the passengers rolling in the aisles, their driving usually is. No wonder all those guys have no trouble keeping their balance on a speeding surf­board-they used to ride the bus to school every day.

I find the crowded conditions on the Waikiki buses ncstalgic

parking lot full. • • KCC permits only "Parking Lot Ful'l-KCC Per­

mits Only." To the many unfor­tunates who did not manage to receive the highly prized park­ing sticker, this artir.le is for vou. For those of you who get -out· raged, angry, or irate at the sight of ,this sign, don't take it out on Jason. He is, after all, do­ing his job.

"I get more profanity thrown at me than I knew existed," said Jason Kopps of Hayes Guard Service.

As so people know, there are some parking spaces available, (40 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; and 60 on Tuesday and Thursday) That is, if You're wiUing to pay.

The best time to get spaces if from 0630 to 0730 or between classes. For those of you who try to get be without paying, take heed the people who hand out the tags for vehicular offenses are through being nice guys. "They've started to give out cita­tions and people ·are going to start getting nailed," Jason warns. "People come in and say they're going to turn around but they don't and that's a $2 fine already."

Attn:· KCC veterans

ALL KCC VETERANS Now is the time for you to aid

a Veteran friend. KCC has al­ready received hundreds of ap­plications for the Fall 1975 se­mester. If you know a veteran who is not enrolled in a school and not collecting his ben­efits (sing-$270, married-$321 and one child-$366) tell him to get his application in now. Many who waited missed out this spring. The more veterans we have the more programs we can offer all veterans.

Some new veterans have not yet been certified for their V.A. Benefits. Registering at Kapio­lani does not automatically ob­tain the money for you. If you have not been in to see the Office of Veterans Affairs in the Student Services Center, you should do so immediatedly. Those that received advance checks are already certified.

though I remember the good old days and the two and a half hour bus rides out to Wahiawa after work every day. You know, peo­ple in the country are friendlier. All of the 147 passengers on board are well aquainted. Be­fore boarding at Union Mall the last possible place to catch an outbound country bus-! know they're supposed to stop!) every­one has been asking each other for an .hour and a half if the Wa­hiawa bus has already left. Once aboard, however these veteran bus riders demonstrate consiae~­able skiH at remaining upright. Somehow, though their Waikiki counterparts manage not to pack themselves ISO tightly as to pre­clude a major upset.

Really t.hough, buses arcn'f all that bad. They seldom get hope· lessly lost. And they only break down in isoJated areas out in the country. And they ver1 rarely have accidents. After all, if y•Ju were a Volkswagon or a teleplrone pole, would you want to gt-t creamed by a bus?

Still though, I'm not going to get a car.

a letter Lately the anti-abortion cam­

paign has been C'OJlling on strong in the media and with a march on the ·state capitol Jan. 22. What hasn't been heard is the other side of the story.

The anti-abortion campaign comes on like everyone having abortions are being iorced against their will. It's up to each and every woman to have, or nr..t to

o e an abortio&

The statement made by a spokesman for the anti-abortion campaign was that, "It's the con­stitutional right of the fetus to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.''

What aboUJt the child whose m'Other didn't want to have the child and has to give birth any­way? To be raised by someone who doesn't want you i·sn't my idea of the pursuit of happiness. To be raised without lov~ and with resentment, because the

· child is a burden, sometimes leads to child beating and in some cases the child becomes crippled for life. The fact that a child needs 'love and affection to be happy and wholesome means he needs a loving mother.

The mother should have the right to decide because she has to live with the child until it's old enough to care for itself.

The statement "No man has the right to take another human life" is very hypocritical considering the United States has been the leading power behind wars throug.hout the world.

To raise a child and not want it has proven that a child can harm himself or even give up the will to live if his needs such as, love, affection cuddling, food, etc. are neglected. Is this right? Is this the pursuit of happiness or the misuse of the right to life?

Suffering rejection and neglect ­is n·ot the pursuit of life!!
