State Judge rules Hawaiian Kingdom still exists

I'm saying that when O2 binds with Carbon to form CO2 the oxygen still "exists", but if you try to breath it exclusively YOU WILL DIE. It isn't oxygen.

Kaimana,

Treaties are broken all the time. Nothing too sacred about them. Like all written documents they are only as good as your ability to defend them.

CO2 ... It isn't oxygen.

OK, OK. I sorta get that scientific example, but in the real world, if I put a Confederate $1 bill in a Coke machine in Pahoa, will I get a Coke? It's money, it says $1 in writing, it exists.

What about in a Coke machine in Alabama?

[MattKarma]

Twenty of 'em you might get a coke. Better still, use twenty thousand and put in a machine in Columbia or Venezuela. LOL.

Rob I understand that and have conceded numerous times that if the US is just going to come out and say might makes right then I have no argument for that other than it's ethically wrong. My argument is only against the US' official stand on the subject.
