The Maui News Hawaii should be free and independent of domination Thank heaven that Ronald Regan is buried and the Memorial Day weekend is over. I couldn't take one more speech of freedom, protectors of liberty, human rights, American heroes and arrogant Americans saying how great the United States is! Give me a break! This great nation is the country that jailed and kept our beloved Queen Lili'uokalani in chains. This great nation held bayonet-fixed rifles to our beloved king's head and told him that they would blow his head off if he didn't sign over his power. This great nation brought in Marines, gunboats, and tons of weapons and said to our beloved queen, "What's yours is now ours or watch your people die." My dad told me once, you can always pick out the bully, he's the one who picks on the littlest and the most peaceful. The great United States will never find peace because of its greed and deceitful leaders. A free and independent Hawaii is the only way. And remember to say "no" to the new but same old garbage Akaka Bill! Gaby Gouveia |
