The more compelling it is for our self-help, the more derelict the Federal Gov't is in its duty.  The Fed took Hawaii's best land and resources since 1900 and developed them for waging wars over the next 116 years into today's policy that the best military offense is having an indomitable military defense.  So, where is this "defense"?  The Fed should be FULLY PAYING us for any "self help" we are compelled to pursue.  Our self help is directly proportional to the failure of the Fed to be accountable for putting us in harms way.
