			<description><![CDATA[It is a very noble effort of Guampedia to add more influential women in Chamorro history to the webpage. Too often we assume this monopolization of male influence and forget that the culture of written history has been written in favor of them. Where would we be today without our mothers, grandmothers, autnties, wives, and godmothers after all? If anything more effort should be put into including women in Chamorro history, for without them we would not be here today.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tunnel vision, or a mental deficiency? Romanticizing a virtue less society exhibits a lack of understanding of a progression of civilization. Back “then,” would he have been among the numerous and countless Chamorro who converted and changed their lifestyles knowing full well what they were doing (or were they just as ignorant as the modern Chamorro?)? He has certainly embraced and benefited from western civilization today. Why keep portraying the Chamorro as an ignorant group of soft belly cowards? Why can’t he accept that most Chamorro chose the conversion? Is it the same contempt he harbors for those Chamorro who don’t align with his mindset today? How different is he from the arrogant “colonizer” he maligns for knowing what’s best for the Chamorro more so than the Chamorro themselves? Does his activism extend only through pen? Has he ever endorsed reclamation through force? This is not his only forum. Ironically, how else would he have been able to pursue the western education and academic privilege he exploits in the present if it wasn’t for Chamorro conversion in the past? Is he any less of a Chamorro for doing so?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I remember some folks such as yourself and others, frequently referred to as "activists", went to Okinawa and took up their cause. And did it work out for them? I think so. Half of their burden is now being shifted around the Asia-Pacific region, under the Obama Doctrine of containing P.R.China, and half of that is headed to Guam. Democracy has come to Okinawa, but not yet to Guam in this context.]]></description>
