HAWAIIAN KINGDOM HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Honolulu Star-Bulletin - Letters to the Editor
Wednesday, November 17, 2004
With the majority of people having concentrated on the presidential race, I think they forgot about local politics. I strongly feel we are on the brink of being "paradise lost." Things like housing costs have shot through the roof and the future for the youth seems really grim.
I strongly feel the Hawaiian Kingdom should be instituted soon so we can save what paradise we have left. Such a government also would not entail exorbitant taxes and high property costs. We could become self-sufficient as far as food goes with a big emphasis on agriculture.
And we definitely need to bring the Hawaiian culture to the forefront, which would boost tourism immensely. Take for example the Merrie Monarch Festival, which gives the Big Island a huge economic boost. Imagine hula being an everyday thing and tourists flocking to the Hawaiian islands.
Let's rise up in unity and have a better way of life for everybody and not just the rich.
