They want the money tourism and military provide. They want to buy their groceries at Costco, etc.<br /><br />How many people, really, want anything different than "the American way" here in the islands?<br /><br />The answer is: it doesn't really matter, because the American way is going to continue. All the powers that be currently, and most likely will be elected in the future want it that way. They will pave the way and put up the welcome signs for off-island money to be spent and mainlanders to build their own "dream" just because they can.<br /><br />Try to change that. Just try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-57267147332677977092009-05-22T23:05:28.343-10:002009-05-22T23:05:28.343-10:00i dont live up north; cant say what all is right o...i dont live up north; cant say what all is right or wrong there now. i did hear it was pretty lawless not too many years ago from people that lived there in the 60s and 70s and a number of the drug houses were smashed down and nice homes put in their place, so that is a positive development<br /><br />localism as practiced on kauai often seems pretty stupid. also noticed and shown here is how quick people are to blame others for their poor station in life or other problems<br /><br />good weather on kauai tho, its got that for suredarwin_was_pretty_smarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324633324529713961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-90822944344459654962009-05-22T19:22:57.790-10:002009-05-22T19:22:57.790-10:00Tourism invariably destroys the very amenities tha...Tourism invariably destroys the very amenities that made a location a tourist attraction in the first place. <br /><br />Read Hal K.

Oh, what, some haole's are better than others?<br /><br />I did notice they left out the water quality thing. Water quality is a problem around the island, not just Hanalei bay, after it rains because of all the septic tanks and no systematic wastewater treatment system. That's something the longstanding residents (the good haole's?) could have done something about long ago, but didn't, 'cause they just like complaining unnecessarily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-28388423378812703182009-05-22T11:01:21.167-10:002009-05-22T11:01:21.167-10:00No wonder they hate us.
