Excellent posts and gets to the core of our problems. My generation of the 60's has been a huge disappointment as I see it. We started out to save the world and ended up becoming the "I want mine generation." I believe this attitude has found its way into following generations. This statement is about the group in general, please take it that way.
We tend to believe that the government, County, State, Feds can solve our problems, when in fact the record is clear that their programs are half hearted, costly, and non-productive.
Although not a fan, I think Hillary Clinton had it right when she said, "It takes a village to raise a child".
I do believe many good things can be done in Hawaii with community or individual efforts. I am lucky enough to have made my home here for 25 years (haole). I find that much can be done when respect and humility is shown.
My suggestion is for all to do something to help another.
Small things count big.
