Democracy dead in Hawai`i?
Seriously, I had no idea we were ever a democracy. I thought this was an oligarchy from the get-go, only the names have changed.
Even the USA is not a democracy. It's a representative republic. There's a big difference.
Sadly, for the government to bypass the will of the people in Hawai`i is not exactly a precedent. A precedent would be if an administration actually carried out the will of the people and was not concerned with any other interests.
