I would rather see Hawai’i secede rather than have my pocket picked. My wife and I have vacationed in that state five times during the last 15 years and have always been polite and low-key in how we moved around the people there. We never, ever experienced any hostility from the true Hawaiians. But, if they truly do hate us behind our backs, well I’m all in favor of letting them leave the country. Be glad to sign off on their independence. It is far better for them to be independent than dependent upon the Jesse Jackson shakedown in order to make a ‘livin.
Let them go back to the kapu practices of strangling people and bashing their heads in, if it makes them happy. As long as we are long gone, they can do whatever they like to each other.
I just don’t have patience with politicians who posture and try to play the morally outraged shuck and jive artists who want to take our money, but first make us feel morally clean first. Let them be the first ones to let their shadow pass in front of the ali’i.
