...welcome consequences of the regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI)-three years on the ground and counting-is how the presence of foreigners has opened local eyes to the shameful inadequacy of Honiara's politicians. The nominal Big Men who hop on and off the capital's political merry-go-round cannot deliver for their own communities nor for the nation as a whole. Unlike, for instance, a judge from Suva, a Canberra auditor, a Nuka'alofa constable or a Wellington diplomat-all the quiet, efficient public servants from around the region who have volunteered to help a troubled...

This is actually the second time it has had to do that...

Chamillionaire is ridin’ the airwaves with his Houston swagger; Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, two producers-turned-rappers, have made hip hop accessible to a wider audience through their collaborations with rock and pop artists; and Jay-Z continues to rep Brooklyn on the mike, even though he supposedly retired three years...

...people are pleased with what they hear, why should we care about how the artists live their lives? The answer is simple: Hip hop demands the public’s respect. When rappers act foolishly, they tarnish the legacy of all those who built hip hop into the dynamic and vital institution that it has become. And when they pose as gangstas, they betray the memory of the real Bronx rebels who started a movement called hip hop 30 years...
