Discuss the author's negative view of the state of Hawaii and the political party in power.
Even though I'm a 3 rd. generation kama'aina, this story is a great example of EXACTLY why I left the dysfunctional state of Hawaii, my life long home, and moved to the mainland a year and a half ago.   The entire State of Hawaii, guided by the illiterate, uneducated, brain dead, teat-sucking democrats, is in an irrecoverable death spiral that's going to take everyone with it.  Get out now while you still can!!
