At one point, Noa said, “I’m not making this stuff up” to chuckles from the pro-sovereignty crowd filling Council Chambers....

Go for it. Third world paradises are still third world. And that’s what Hawaii would look like in a decade or so. Want to see poverty?

Yeah I’ve just declared myself King of the World and appointed my dog Prime Minister and my toaster Finance Minister.

And, I think your point is spot on. America has clearly given much more to Hawaii than Hawaii has given to America.
I suspect, China would quickly come and swallow Hawaii up if they became independant.
This clown has no authority to make such a proclamation - it’s like a Dungeons and Dragons game for royalty wannabes. ;)
Hawaii has give a lot. Just think of all the Spam that would be around the world of the Hawaiians didn’t consume most of it.
I thought the Japanese already owned most of Hawaii.
California would become a state of Mexico before Hawaii would ever become an independant nation.
Morons are born and those idiots who let the evangalists take over the islands deserve their fate.
The amount of aid could double. But, wait HI is already nothing but another NO with a better climate. Why would they ever want to get off the the “dole”. Their private schools produced a president or facsimile there of.
No problemo so long was Pearl Harbor area gets a 500 year lease along the lines of the old Panama Canal Zone.
That may be the only way we’ll see the real BC.
Where do I send my contribution? Bye bye two Democrat senators and three Democrat Congressman.
If Hawai’i seccedes, is Barack Obama still an illegal alien?
If Hawai’i seccedes, is Barack Obama still an illegal alien?
If Hawaii is independent we don’t need Pearl. Just make sure we demolish all the facilities when we leave....
Two less Democrats in the Senate, go for it.
True!
