It took us a couple months of a lot of people hounding the HDOH and me actually asking Lt Gov Aiona’s office if he is directly legally responsible to make sure that the Administrative Rules for each government agency is posted online as required by law.... to get them to either post the rules online as required by law or to tell us what rules are even in effect.
That was not an accident. Those rules were deliberately removed, in violation of the law. They knew all along they were required to be posted and it took several months of us reminding them over and over - and them ignoring our requests - for them to even post them as legally required.
You can call them stupid and inept but I have dealt with them extensively and I’ve known worms who would never be that stupid. It is physically impossible for anybody not in an institution for the profoundly disabled to be that stupid.
I am a patient person. I generally give people the benefit of the doubt, even to the point that some think I’m crazy for doing it. But there is no way even I can excuse what these people are doing. No way.
Computer print-outs don’t happen by accident. The computer does what somebody specifically and deliberately tells it to do. The date range heading appears and disappears only when somebody tells it to appear or disappear. And back a long time ago when I first referenced briefly the fact that somebody was listed in their birth index and yet they told me that they didn’t have a birth record for her, you immediately asked whether the date range heading was on the index, because without a date range heading the list is legally useless; it could represent anything.
And now we find out that the list really DOES represent “anything”. They have legally non-valid records in that list. Maybe that’s why they don’t call it the 1960-64 birth index on the pages. They present it in person as the 1960-64 birth index but the pages have been manipulated so that they never make/document the claim of being the 1960-64 birth index.
None of this is an “accident”. Every single thing about that print-out had to be decided so that the computer would print it out exactly that way. The only index that is that way so it is different than the standard/default format.
So we have a state that is more than willing, eager in fact, to break their laws to accomodate the affirmative action bastard. Now, how does one go about prosecuting such a state if the people in that state don’t care that their government personnel are braking the laws to do someone a favor? hawaii was handing out HI citizenship to any who would apply back wehen they became a state, to up their demographics! Nothing has been or ever will be done about that, except for a few obamapologists working the Internet to make the reality go away by lying about it.
I suppose because I have worked for several bureaucracies, I have seen just how stupid and inept they can be. Non standard formats that vary from department to department, multiple violations of posted P&Ps, P&Ps so badly written that they must be violated just to get work done, etc.
