I’ve been reading some of your posts on Hawaii, and it’s interesting the level and style of corruption going on here in government - it reminds me of the issues that have come up in Canada in regards to Federal money released to First Nation reserves. Corrupt leaders keeping exorbitant amounts of government-distributed funds in the hands of a select number of leadership/official families through corrupt contracts, bids, etc., while the majority of the population are living in total poverty with no access to social programs of support. Actually, I’ve lived here 4 years, am leaving, and have often told my friends back home in Canada about the place, comparing it to a Reserve. Rough!

i am a local born and raised in hawaii, and living/working here. unfortunately, most of what you say is completely true. hawaii is a third world country in many aspects and the democrat-run state/city government is the root of the problem. the old school union mentality results in tons of money being wasted, corruption, and poor results. hawaii spends the most per child on public education and receives the worst results, nation wide. nearly 1 out of 10 people in hawaii is employed by the state/county government. and you’re right, people don’t know how to merge. when i livd in california for college, i fit right in, driving wise. coming back home i get furious at how retarded people are when they drive, among other things.

That’s funny. when I was living in Hawaii, I googled “I hate Hawaii” or “Hawaii sucks” too! LOL. I thought that I was the only one feeling this way until I googled. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who sees what I see!
