Wow.
KathyH - that's twice in about a month that we both agreed on something.

mdd, you and oink both, I fear the Apocalypse is round the corner. [8D]
well, if we don't disagree ALL the time, that makes our disagreements more interesting rather than par for the course.

I disagree. I have a current Hawaii Drivers license since September.
that sure doe not make me kama'aina.

I think it does. You get all the kama`aina discounts with it. To be 'local' though, you have to graduate from a Hawaii high school. []

Deb,

You ask for opinions and then argue with them? What do you call that?

Did I read that right? nobody could make a statement like this and realy meen it, that had to be a joke.

How about local kids that didn't make it thru high school?

Yeah, I've been a bit Cranky lately. Current project just keeps hitting snags. Finish nailer just took a cr*p. Things on Punaweb just seem a bit more argumentative than usual lately. More Tuberose please.

As I said in my post, the legal definition of kama'aina for discounts is the driver's license.
The deeper sense of the word refers to an attunement to place and culture that goes beyond.

Local is something else again.

It doesn't matter "what puna webbers think" the definition is still the same. Check the Hawaiian Dictionary.
