T*he Honolulu Advertiser *doesn’t exist anymore, but it used to publish a regular “Health Bureau Statistics” column in its back pages supplied with information from the Hawaii Department of Health detailing births, deaths, and other events. The paper, which began in 1856 as the *Pacific Commercial Advertiser*, since the end of World War II was merged, bought, sold, and then merged again with its local rival, *The Honolulu Star-Bulletin*, to become in 2010 *The Honolulu Star Advertiser*. But the *Advertiser* archive is still preserved on microfilm in the Honolulu State Library. Who could have guessed, when those reels were made, that the record of a tiny birth announcement would one day become a matter of national consequence? But there, on page B-6 of the August 13, 1961, edition of *The Sunday Advertiser*, set next to classified listings for carpenters and floor waxers, are two lines of agate type announcing that on August 4, a son had been born to Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama of 6085 Kalanianaole Highway. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2F7jD3t&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=bkSI3AgLwZPj3U7G5APzpoVtEQXDdjushX5BSsIVQE8&s=ycWeNB0b4nDQpjgmIdATnVBOgoZwqx2WXrkP6cQQ-2g&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2F7jD3t-2B&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=bkSI3AgLwZPj3U7G5APzpoVtEQXDdjushX5BSsIVQE8&s=ruHbYSoEDeCY_mzFSZaCprkqQ3hothS2rsNje5yhrCA&e= -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emailcharter.org&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=bkSI3AgLwZPj3U7G5APzpoVtEQXDdjushX5BSsIVQE8&s=lWUiD_y7opnpDijqVhZPvFlZWlgK_-FGwjBx2EWj1W4&e= “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
