Whatever, If the kapu system was reinstalled you would leave these islands at a fast run.
In the past all the land was owned and controlled by the ali`i. A small number of self entitled people who ruled over everyone else. That was replaced by the Hawaiian people themselves with the people in control instead of a small clique of rulers dispensing death by clubbing on kapu breakers.
So in the here and now you are free to cherry pick which individual segments of the kapu system you want to worship and you can reject the ones you want to (and do) reject. In the old way you would be clubbed to death. In the today way you get to complain all you want. Who really wants o go back? You? Really?

Assume the best and ask questions.
