Momi, please note:
Hawaiians are 20% of the population of the state, and Hawaiians of your political outlook are far less than that. Demographic trends are not in your favor. Survival dictates moderation or you guys will lose what little remaining sympathy you have. Re-read my last post. Your are completely unwilling to see the positive gestures so many of us have made toward Hawaiian culture. If we don't agree with every aspect of your agenda, then we must be the enemy. So sad.
Meanwhile, more of us are coming. How they are greeted and treated will have a tremendous effect on your future as a Hawaiian. It will be a shame if your are swept away into the recesses of history because you can't handle your own anger. Time is running out. Jared could well be right about your future.
Oh, and by the way, a lot of the people you have come into contact with in your life will lose all respect for the Hawaiian culture as a result. Anyway, I don't have time for a lot more of this. I have to help my neighbors distribute the produce from our community gardening project. That will do a lot more good than trying to argue with you.
