I will never understand why people in Hawaii think we should suffer extra for something happening halfway around the world that’s not our business, let alone the US as a whole. If Europe won’t suffer for the mess in their back yard why should we? I guess we can look forward to oil in Hawaii coming from some other unsavory country with terrorist or humanitarian crises ties, cause it sure as hell won’t be coming from North America for some reason that is beyond me…

People are so short sighted.
Many come to Hawaii to escape living in the lower 48.
They never consider that because Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific and has a relatively large land mass, it is a very desired location for a naval/military base by all major world powers.
If it didn't have the status of being an actual state, an actual portion of the U.S., Chinese, Russian or something else, would probably be the major local language.
How long would your house last if there was a contested military takeover here?
Take a look at what's happening in Ukraine.
It could easily happen here.
With the mealy-mouths now running our country, it is still a possibility, although not very likely yet.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
