True, but we have much less power or potential to change the law since we aren't Hawaiian. The only way to effect change is to to try to get the word out to those who are most directly impacted by the law. Whether you gave up on journalists or not, they still provide one of the more effective ways to reach the public at large. A letter to the editor might be good. Write some of the reporters at the Honolulu newspapers or TV stations. Maybe someone will actually listen.
I’ve done that. I have written to easily 30 different news organizations: only one response which was a ‘pass.’ The reset didn’t even acknowledge my communication.
I’ve wasted too much of my life on ‘journalists’ already.=) When I say I gave up, it’s because I exhausted my efforts and gave up with good reason.
