"If you have followed and have knowledge of all the implications behind this push for a sovereign Native Hawaiian nation, you will realize there is no place in our society for �sovereign nations� within our United States of America.

It's not diversity; it's divisiveness � a new and growing form of apartheid (separation/segregation) within our so-called democracy. . ."
