"Statehood"

Aug 16, 2007 14:30

So tomorrow some businesses--including my place of employment, praise Ba'al--are closed for HI's statehood admissions day.

My one coworker, whom I like but who occasionally breaks out with some of the most herdlike and inane cliches, feels the need to announce something like, "And tomorrow the Hawaiian interest groups will be mourning. Pretty crazy."

Exfuckingcuse me? Corporate bastards from the US basically set up here, overthrew the native monarchy, subsumed this land into a country so far away as to be foreign after the native people had been economically and socially subdued, and it's crazy that some people have a problem with this?

What the hell did they teach you in history classes in the 60s? Oh, right, the same lies most primary education spews forth concerning this sort of imperialistic rape.

thebox, hi, wtf, spleen
