Call me ignorant, then. 
I've lived in other places and even with all it's warts and all, I do feel lucky to be living in Hawaii.... kinda. 
I have a rule,
Never live more than 50 miles from an ocean.
This is due to a winter spent working the flight line
in North Dakota.
Hawaii was not my choice, I wanted to go to Alaska,
but Wife said otherwise.
Hawaii is ruled by Tyrants.
Japanese, Chinese, and Filipinos don't have any concept
of personal rights. I was raised to oppose government,
you guys were raised to worship government.
That is why you hate Haoles. We are free.
you are slaves.
I love the land of Hawaii, but despise the people,
I have to live with.
