You don't realize that the entirety of the United States used to be occupied by people other than the people who live here now? I have a CDIB card, my ancestors walked the trail of tears. Many injustices were done -- but you know what? They also fought for the US in WWI, WWII, and Vietnam, and I carried on their traditions -- based in our allegiance to our country -- in OSW and OEF. There are reservations in every state in the US, owned by the native tribes who still remain. That does not change the fact that the US is not going to just cease to exist and go back to a tribal plains where we run buffalo off cliffs and forage to survive.

The world now is not the world of the 1700s and the 1800s. Making up stories about why we can pretend the world is the same and the rules are the same and pretending that things that actually happened did not happen is unhealthy. It accomplishes nothing.

I would suggest you would be a whole lot happier if you found another hobby.

The data I provided shows that Hawaii is a net taker of federal funds -- they receive 1.61 from the federal government for every dollar they send in taxes. Pretending the state of Hawaii does not exist when it is clearly a part of the US based on taxes paid and welfare received is simply an untenable position.

I'm done here.
