****Human rights is not a game of comparison.*****
Ofcourse it isn't....ecspecially when it's the United states who is being slammed.
***democracy is a political philosophy BASED on INALIENABLE HUMAN RIGHTS.****
Thanks for the lesson brain-child, Tell me how they are being hurt then? one example will do....and what right do they have to suceed(sp)?
****If we insist on being content as the lesser of all the world's evils, then we will be pretty damn evil,*****
Cry me a fucking river, It's pretty funny that they're countries such as Germany out there who killed 6 million jews and countries who bomb other innocent people in shopping malls and people like you seem to be on a crusade as to how evil we are...give me a fucking break.
****because you're right, there is some pretty fucked up shit in the world.****
you're right there is and no country is perfect but the united states has one of the top human rights policies in the world. To deny that is just plain ignorant
****Personally, I'm not willing to play the comparison game to defend the fucked up things WE do****
ofcourse you won't because it would make all you rants useless....but i can understand why.
****I love my country, and I feel justified in holding it to a higher standard BECAUSE it is based on higher standards.****
we agree on something outstanding.....however with that said don't bury your head in the sand when complaining about how bad we are. It's usually done by 16 year olds who think they have the world figured out.
***Democracy is only as good as we make it, my friend.****
First off we're not a democracy, rather a representative republic. Democracy is mob rule (look into it).

Democracy doesn't exist in the United States? Is that REALLY what you're claiming?
And...HEY!!...Now that you're awake, go back and read my post. I said that the move to secede is NOT the aim of most Hawaiian activists.
Actually, you know what? Never mind. Keep up whatever it is you do.

my post is'nt the most accurate with facts. hongomon probraly know more about native Hawaiian then I do. My post was about political isolation, I think its' more adaptable like the New Zealand's natives' rights. Not more like a succession.

I went back and reread your posts, nugs, and I don't find anything wrong with what you said.
In fact, you said it's different from secession and you're right. They are pushing for federal recognition of a native Hawaiian governing body, not of the state of Hawaii, but of the nation of Hawaiian people. Like I mentioned, the Office of Hawaiian affairs is as close as the federal government has allowed, and it's an insult to the Hawaiians as it stands.
Your original post is about the latest tactic used by the federal government to keep them down. It's common knowledge that people of pure Hawaiian lineage are nearly extinct. By now they might be, or there may be a couple of really old pure Hawaiians. Then you have the remaining Hawaiians that are of some mixture, some mostly Hawaiian lineage and some with a trace and all kinds in between.
Back in the 1920s there was a congressional act of contrition (an apology of sorts) that "promised" a lot of Hawaiian land back to Hawaiians. But at that point, no one thought to complain that it was only for pure Hawaiians, because there were so many, and basically every family line had land promised, because every family line had a pure Hawaiian family member--a dad, a grandmother, someone.
Then the promised land got stuck in beaurocracy that lasted until the 1970s and 1980s, and of course by that time so many of the entitlees had died still waiting for their homestead, and the remaining Hawaiian community was so much more mixed with Portuguese, asian, caucasion, Puerto Rican, etc. that this new tactic of questioning "who is really 'Hawaiian'" has become the federal government's latest ploy.
Shameful, man

Let me guess they were assimiliting with the polynesians, every hawaiian has his heritage that the polynesians came, settled peacefully, and brought with them 12 principle crops. Some of the best plants growing in Hawaii, Kava being one of these used for spiritual guidance between hawaiians and polynesians together. I keep on thinking back in time, wondering what it was like, and for some reason I believe the white people for all their industrial inventions were not really good farmers! You ask a hawaiian about the first white people who came, and they say "My grandfather ate Cook". I keep on looking through history, and for all the bullshit that people spew here about u.s. is in the same about wars and genocide, and they are wrong. Alot of wars have been waged, however to judge a countries genocide, or assimilation philosphies, one can just look at how many native ethnic languages survive

You see, I happen to be 1/4 hawaiian. I like on the Big Island of Hawaii in a town called Kamuela until I moved to the mainland when I was 11 years old. Now, You see, I'm also half Norwegien, so I guess I naturally felt a bit detached from whatever 'ethnic' roots I have by blood.
Anyway, interestingly enough, I came to my hatred of the fucked up, super-masculine trip we call 'imperialism' in the manner of all my white upper class friends and white-culture figures like bob dylan, abie hoffman, george orwell, noam chomsky, and more recently people like alan watts, herman hesse, aldous huxley, terrnace mckenna and tim leary. My point is that when I read soul on ice, I really could relate to eldrige cleaver, but not in a racial sense, but in the way jerry rubin must have related-- as a fellow outcast of this fucked up control freak thing called indrustrialized western society.
I think that it's important for my fellow hawaiians that being outside of society and demanding justice can be a consentual thing, a world view that is brought about not by their surroundings and the way that other people act toward a colored person-- anger, in short-- but through natural self awareness. The problem is that most people living under imperial yoke don't have the kinds of opportunities that I did. Hence the need to change. Hence revolution. Hence the desire for freedom, the light to live in a sovergein land. All people want to be able to choose their way of life. One things for sure-- the way hawaiian culture views drugs is vastly, VASTLY different that the way Amerikans view drugs. Hawaiians are dealing with epidemic levels of high purity crystal meth.We this shit that the houlies (whities) shoot in their arrms is fucked up-- my family lives with the land, growing 'awa (kava) and marijuana. Pot is a way of life, not perceived as a back ally 'drug', but what it is, a plant that's good for stopping the inner monologue and clearing the mind, so that the more aware levels of awareness can peak through. I want to live in this manner freely, without the forgeiner rules that the white oppressor has brought to my people's more sane cultural perspective. Not that I don't like computers and fast cars, but as eignstein said, 'it has become appalingly clear that our technology has exceeded our humanity'-- he was talking about the west, of course.

The ultimate meaning of our being can only be fulfilled in the paradoxical leap beyond the tragic-demonic frustration. It is a leap from our side, but it is the self-surrendering presence of the Ground of Being from the other side.
