"Is it "might makes right" or "we are a nation of laws"? Can't have it both ways."
The current circus is neither. While acknowledge that many people find value in the traditional ways and while I would accept considerable legal concessions towards Native Hawaiians, I consider that the current circus is an example of wild extrapolation from what some people think some version of the past was, not necessarily even the past as it existed just prior to the overthrow, and I don't see justice being done here. The current hodgepodge of extremists trying to actually run the show on their own would be a spectacle I might pay to see from a safe distance, but I have property, friends, and family who don't deserve that.
