The ranks of those promoting the good in this world have lost a voice and a willing pair of hands. My best wishes and thoughts to her in the next world, and to her family, friends and loved ones who remain behind in this one.
Yep, that's an issue all right. And in all seriousness, I do not mean to discount the seriousness of it -- not one bit.
Then there's the matter of the so-called "Manhattan Purchase". Thinking they were dealing with a bunch of ignorant savages, the settlers didn't bother to read the fine print. What they signed wasn't a purchase, but a long-term lease. The terms clearly state that, upon expiration of the lease, ownership of the land, and all improvements thereupon, reverts to the American Indians.
The lease expires at midnight on December 31, 2010.

You know what's interesting, there's not a whole lot of publicity about this "Manhattan Purchase" lease, I wonder why that is and I wonder if the natives who originally owned it want it back...

that sounds kinda harsh. the land probably wasn't a mess when the lease was signed. let's give it a good cleaning just in case it does have to be returned.

As per the terms of the lease, how will you be paying the additional cleaning charges -- VISA, MasterCard, or American Express? (For your convenience, we are also set up to take PayPal.)
Goodpasture, over the past few days I've been reading the 12 page article that you linked to and although I know a little bit of history about how the Hawaiian islands were invaded and taken over by the forces of the United States for personal reasons I still don't quite understand if it was because of some of the Christian missionaries who thought that the native population and its hierarchy and form of government was not of a Christian nature? Sounds like Christianity was used as an excuse for the takeover of the empire and I'm wondering are the native Hawaiians still seeking to separate itself from the United States and form its own monarchy again and curious enough would our president be considered a native Hawaiian since he was born there?
