You are welcome randomq. I too, if given the task, might craft a different document, but it is not my, or your, kuleana. As such I refrain from even considering the merits, from my subjective, and admittedly foreign, point of view, of the Hawaiian’s concerns. Instead I applaud the Hawaiian’s efforts on their own behalf and lend my support as I would anyone striving to be made whole again after an injustice has been perpetrated on them.
The thing that gets me is why are so many afraid of the Hawaiians? Why are so many afraid of the possible changes that their re-emergence as a sovereign might bring upon the islands? All things considered I think they might bring positive change. They might have something unique and wonderful to offer mankind. I don’t know, but suspect, based on what I have experienced and learned from them already, that they have the potential to create a society that is exemplary, that may be an important contribution to the human endeavor. As such I continue to remain open to their concerns and hope that they are successful in their efforts.
Will all that include me? Will my deeds be honored, and I be free to continue in my pursuits, will I want to, here? I don’t know. But feel that is secondary to the larger more important question of what the Hawaiian’s, as a free people, have to offer all of us. Is that idealistic, sure. But hey, the USA as a political entity is a failed state in my opinion. It’s government is abusive, supports the rape and pillaging of the planet by its corporations over the wellbeing of its people, and as such, imo, doesn’t have the moral ground to stand on. As such I lend my support to the Hawaiian people in the hopes they may find a better way.
