It just seems leaving is a ticket downhill. But I don’t know anything about life there.

We have a park, Thomas Square, named after a British person who protected the Kingdom of Hawaii’s sovereignty. There was a branch of our ali’i families here who were Anglophiles. I wish those ali’i had won.

To the best of my knowledge, both current law and science do not say that being in or out of a mother’s body is what determines whether someone is a person. I do know a near- or full-term baby before a cesarean section isn’t a tissue mass and a human being after.

But if I recollect, discussing abortion may be against the TOS. So we should probably break this off and agree we’re not going to change minds anyway.

capital punishment as a penalty. Guess they don't get irony either.
