You are right...Steeler, I may be naive!   I only know what I experienced growing up in Kaka`ako, the good and the bad of Hawaii.  Moved away from that reality to a place where I gained a whole new perspective on life.  I only speak to my time and place in history, where I witnessed the changes.  I find comfort in knowing that we are still evolving as a culture...and that we are witnesses of change from whatever our viewpoint may be.  Mine is of one that I lived.
