Just out of curiosity... How many would stay and apply for Hawaiian citizenship to live here should the State of Hawaii be dissolved? I for one would go back to the States because I'm not interested in giving up my U.S. citizenship or dealing with what ever birth pains might develop here. Plus... I don't see a lucrative future for the Islands economically speaking and with public assistance and all the other moneys sent to the State pulled by the U.S. it may get real ugly here very quickly. I envision something similar to what happened in Cuba - financially speaking that is. No real natural resources here of significant value for export, etc. The island would have to compete directly with South America etc. in produce and fisheries etc. What a cluster F. No thanks, I see the U.S. as the glue that binds these islands socially and economically. The late 1800's have come and gone along with the minimal expectations they afforded a less demanding populace with far more simplistic lifestyles. Anyhow, just my initial thoughts.
