SHOULDN'T HAWAIIANS BE GLAD THEY'RE A PART OF THE U.S. ?
Here's How Hawai`i Nationals Feel About The Overthrow Of Their Country
Let's pretend I visit your house.
You offer me food and rest. I decide to stay.
Then, I order you and your family around, use your things and rearrange the rooms.
I take down your photos and religious symbols, replace them with my own and make you speak my language.
One day, I dig up your garden and replace it with crops that I can sell.
You and your family must now buy all of your food from me.
Later, I invite my father and his buddies over.
They bring guns. We take your keys.
I forge a deed and declare my father to be the owner of your house.
I bring more people. Some work for me. Some pay me to stay in your house.
I seize your savings and spend it on my friends.
You and your family now sleep on the porch.
Finally you protest.
Being reasonable, I let you stay in a corner of the house and give you a small allowance, but only if you behave.
I tell you, "Sorry, I was wrong for taking the house."
But when you demand your house back, I tell you to be realistic."You are part of this family now, whether you like it or not," I say. "Besides, this is for your own good.
For all that I have done for you, why aren't you grateful?"
