        Hawaii is a state? Trump taught us that Hawaii is part of Kenya.

        technically it was another "colonization." The U.S. took it over from the natives.

        United States annexation of Hawaii not much different than Putin's annexation of Crimea: strategic location, excellent port, American business (sugar cane, et al) thinks it's a good idea.

        When Queen Liliuokalani moved to establish a stronger monarchy, Americans under the leadership of Samuel Dole deposed her in 1893. https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/gp/17661.htm …

        First visit to Hawaii in 1969. Moved to Hawaii in 1970. Stayed for 20 years and loved every one of them. Went to school at U of H. Mahalo Mr. Beschloss.

        Oahu got really crowded. I wanted to go back to school and get my Masters, and Cal Poly accepted me, so we moved to California. I do miss Hawaii, but not the crowds and traffic.
