"Respectfully disagree with your take on "ohana" (and the rest of your post). We have hanai ohana that is not blood, nor born here, but have the essence of true aloha in spirit and actions.
Fortunately, some of us can accept this position, however inaccurate. We're used to it. Funny thing is, the people who are born and raised here know how to cope without FEMA. In fact, were some of the first ones to gather up supplies and necessities, to help our neighbors and strangers, not just ohana.
This comment is so sad, and reflects the continued separation of our communities, and perpetuates the anger on both sides of this perceived "them and us" mentality. Auwe!
In my book, we are all ohana on some level. Hope you find aloha in your heart, protoss. It worthy of finding. More important, worthy of sharing."
Opihikao, I've said this before but want to say it again: you are a breath of fresh air. Really appreciate your posts and perspective.
