Foreword to Nahiliolani
By Ramon Kwok
“Nahiliolani”
is a fictional story.
The characters are fictitious any similarity to people or places
is purely coincidental.
This usually is a statement by the author to protect themselves
from any claim arising from the publication of the story. Although,
Nahiliolani is a fictitious name there are thousands of Nahiliolani’s,
in the real world. They have similar names like, Rebecca, Susan,
Margaret, and Jean,
who are trapped in the world of drugs. This story is dedicated to
all the Nahiliolani’s who
become statistics and leave a life time of suffering behind them.
The legalizing of soft drugs is the burning
issue today. Politicians, Lawmakers and Law enforcers and even the
clergy, can never come up with a solution. How can you legislate
morality. Or a more simpler solution. Take away the customer and you
destroy the business. It’s
really up to the individual. I admit this is an over simplification of
the problem.
There is another issue facing
society. Euthanasia. Here
again the politicians lawmakers and now the medical institutions are at
a loss for a solution. “The premeditated act of causing death
painlessly so as to end suffering.” Or the more moral and legal charge of “Premeditated first degree murder.” I leave it to the
reader to decide.
