obvious, right? for some reason, this doesn't happen... "the people" keep sending the same officials back... it's a phenomenon...
Must be not enough people know what the officials have been doing to them, instead of for them. Folks who want to live there need to either like it, fight it, or leave. I say this as a former Californian. I didn’t like the way California was going, and saw that I couldn’t stop it, so I left. I don’t know if Hawaii’s problems have reached the point where it’s time to leave or not. I do know that the Internet has given people like you and I a brand new way to get such messages out. If it had existed back then, I might not have given up.
