Momi, I have enjoyed your openness and truth from a Hawaiian perspective. I have been married to one local for over 30 years and although I'm not Hawaiian, I know that the views you are expressing are shared by many including my Hawaiian family and friends. Actually, what you have expressed is quite mild in comparison. It's not what many mainland transplants want to hear, however, so you are receiving criticism for your candidness. For me, it's refreshing to hear. Mahalo.
