I agree with the essence of this thread. But I would like Glen to explain his statement about Hawaii having a culture of larceny based on Captain Crook, oops I mean Cook's visits to the island. Was Cook himself not here as any other "explorer" on a real mission of conquest? On his last and final visit to these islands the Hawaiians began to get hip to that possibility and began to see Cook as the threat he truly was.
I know you meant no harm with your statement Glen, but a lot of Hawaiians may take such comments as an insult.
