On The Hawaiian Palace Hijack

For those of you who do not know, people who claim that the State of Hawaii (formerly the kingdom of Hawaii) should be given back to the Hawaiian people and have the monarchy restored have instead decided to take it. For this reason, a group of native Hawaiians have taken the Hawaiian Palace (Iolani Palace) briefly in a political stunt.

I think they are stupid, selfish and naive. I myself am native Hawaiian, and like many people in Hawaii, native or not, I believe that Hawaii being a member of the United States in much better than returning to monarchy. Whether the inclusion of Hawaii into the United States was right or wrong is 100 percent irrelevant.

Hawaii is a state now, and a vast majority of its inhabitants feel that it is the way it should stay. In fact, many of them, like myself, are proud Hawaiians who are also patriotic Americans.

These separatist buffoons would gladly turn our land back into a monarchy, taking the power away from the people, and giving it to those who do not respect the will of the people. If they did respect the people's will, they would not be trying to reverse our land's great progress.

If they truly want to make a difference for the lives of our Hawaiian people, they would instead devote themselves to charity for helping to educate our vastly uneducated youth, encourage education in their heritage and culture as well as important educational skills, provide nutrition and fitness assistance for those effected by extreme poverty and teach the keiki (children) that they have all been born equal, so that no single man or woman could claim unchecked dominion over them.
