Aaron, having lived in Kailua Kona, which in our lifetime has been given entirely to the ways of the first world, US economy/culture etc., surely has blinded you to the real Hawaii. I left there in the late 70s when I built my house in Waipio Valley, and thankfully have been neighbors to, worked with, and a part of an extended ohana of Hawaiians ever since. And I can tell you from my experience, my long lifetime of associations, you are way wrong in this regard.
You can quote me on this. I will spend every waking moment of my life fighting against the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom - if it reached that point. It would be huge mistake on several levels and would benefit everyone that lives here. I'd rather be US citizen and have the rights afforded me instead of being a citizen of a kingdom that will likely restrict your rights.
