howzit VancouverIslander, hope the summer is treating you well up in Canada.
well, the whole premise of this thread is a colossally absurd straw man argument now, isn't it. Rene who started this thread kicked it off with posting "So if the State of Hawaii is given back to the Kingdom of Hawaii, do all the welfare checks get cut off?". this being reiterated by quite a few other comments along the same fanciful sovereignty scenario.
i don't know where you are getting the "rush to dump on any level of sovereignty in the assumption that any form of sovereignty means complete nation state sovereignty" thing from. if you feel the desire to hypothesize concretely about some more realistic form with a legal precedent in terms of welfare benefits, then why don't you?
