More on Homeless Native Hawaiians

[MarkD]

OK. And I will clarify that my "taking" statement refers primarily to the taking of land. And it happened a long time ago, and much of the land has new owners, who paid for it. (The first "owners" just appropriated the land.)

And the same pattern of land appropriation occurred around most of the world.

But this observation goes a long way in helping explain why some native Hawaiians, American Indians and similar peoples who historically had a "you do not have to be rich to be happy" outlook are having major problems competing.
