I did not participate in the Pahoa Fast Food protest, such as it was. I had no problem with those who did. They have their points of view and are entitled to them.
I saw a phrase on another site that did, for me, sum up my uneasiness with these fast food joints arrival. That phrase was...
"...just about every town in America."
Until now Pahoa Village was definitely not in the ranks of just about every town in American. I am not going to celebrate as and when it makes the list. There are a lot of things wrong with Pahoa Village and there are a lot of things right about it. Pahoa Village has been expert at being itself for a long, long time.
So now the corporations have arrived and life will go on. It just won't be the same being just like just about every town in America.

Assume the best and ask questions.
