Questions from Leilanidude and comments:
1. Does it make any difference what size the house is? A large house signifies an affluent owner, and these folks have a track record of commandeering the shorelines (I discussed details in other threads).
2. Do Hawaiians not ever build big houses on the shoreline and try to block access through their property? Sure Hawaiians sometime do. But if one goes to Alii Drive or North Shore Oahu or North Shore Kauai and surveys the shoreline ownership, Caucasians dominate.
I look for patterns of behavior in most things. We can ignore these patterns, but I see more value in noting them.
Another comment on the race thing. If we dispensed with this we would not have affirmative action in college admissions. If we selected students purely on academic achievement, the ratio of students would be something like: 90% Asian, 7% white and 3% other
Several days ago, another access issue on Portlock, Oahu. The landowners are at it again.
