Wave your signs, post your blog comments, use lots of CAPS and "!!!!" to express your angst.<br /><br />Then, get over it.<br /><br />It's coming and you will have to reconcile yourself to its presence. May as well do that in a way that doesn't cause you continuing internal strife.<br /><br />You use the H1, H2 and H3 freeways when you go to Oahu, right? Driving over all those bones...<br /><br />Some of you play golf on Kauai...putting over all those bones...<br /><br />Sane people get over it. The "new clothes" start to feel good after a while. Because you can never put the "old clothes" on again...they were "burned".<br /><br />I always think before talking or writing.

Making believe that deep beliefs don't matter? Saying, "Oh well, at least the resort development built on my ancestors' bones is providing employment?" <br /><br />The unconscionable essence of the colonial mindset is that it is purely self-serving. Its very language is a grab bag of catchphrases that encode convenience for the self-proclaimed conqueror. It is intellectually impoverished, morally bankrupt and culturally narcissistic. <br /><br />To that end, it is even devoid of good grace to prescribe the position that those who "need to get over it" should assume while they, their culture and those things they hold most dear get fucked.Dawsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-46974910488222947342010-05-27T13:57:44.057-10:002010-05-27T13:57:44.057-10:00I'm already over it.
