        Malignant capitalism monetizes EVERYTHING whether it's rightfully owned or not.

        Sorry, being a Yank, my attention was caught by a bottle of beer with KAVA clearly visible. Are the naugh on the other side? His beverage of choice, he still loves it.

        If that was the case, I think "Aloha" would have been trademarked a long time ago.

        Fiji should trademark its know traditional medicinal plants and flowers...Tagimoucia for example ...anything that has cultural meaning & value to Fijians. University could undertake this as a law project . UNESCO could assist . Non- Fijians should always seek permission

        Earth could have a planet killer asteroid 24 hours away from imminent impact but half the world would be still suing the other half for trademark infringements, we'd still be figuring out FY budgets for next year, worrying about stock market performance, mid-term elections, etc.
