@curatrix2008 i never said that

[curatrix2008]

@h9stjarr well by all means like all lil boys, dream of being king without any of the responsibility

[curatrix2008]

@h9stjarr Ahupua`a

The concept of private property was unknown to ancient Hawaiians, but they did follow a complex system of land division. All land was controlled by the highest chief or king who held it in trust for the whole population.

.

They paid weekly labor taxes and annual taxes to the konohiki, or local overseer, who collected goods to support the chief and his court. The konohiki supervised communal labor within the ahupua`a and also regulated land, water and ocean use.

@curatrix2008 no I do have ideas. I am not an authority on these matters so I can only put forth ideas. Obviously your intent is to exhaust all the negative comments you can, so this is going to go NOWHERE. Also, you aren't even relevant to this situation so It doesn't really matter what your opinion is. It's worthless here.

[curatrix2008]

@h9stjarr healthcare for children?

.

i can see why you don't want to talk about your plan cause you don't have one.

.

you are dreaming like lost 20 year old men around the world do that you will take over and be king, in charge go sit in the palace hahaha

.

or were you planning to make cleaning WOMEN'S WORK? hahahah

[curatrix2008]

@h9stjarr you obviously have never read your history if you think you were all just sitting around equal putting flowers in your hair and making luaus.

.

so you don't believe or embrace capitalism or anything haole

.

tell me how this is going to work

.

your kids trapped in hawaii with no education or knowledge of the world

.

sincerely, how to you envision pulling this off. Closing down the docks?

[curatrix2008]

@h9stjarr WHAT DO YOU EMBRACE? aaawww and before white man came, women worked 14 hours a day, were routinely tossed into volcanos and the islands and kingdoms were constantly at war.

lol or are you going to forget all the war, the wa r weapons

.

the royals had life and death power over you. you had no personal property, and remember how people would run like hell to get to a safe zone.

.

not you, any property including your children, the land belonged to anyone but the royals.

[h9stjarr]

@curatrix2008 no. See the problem we face here in this discussion is that our views are fundamentally different. You embrace this capitalist, Imperialistic view of the world. We Hawaiians are naturally collaborative. Back before the white man came, our communities were called "ahupua'a", which were basically strips of land from mountain to sea. Everyone was needed and benefited. That is how we will solve problems. TOGETHER. Don't ask me for MY plan. I only have ideas of how to make it work.

[curatrix2008]

@h9stjarr you going to have courts and prisons for those that steal and hurt others? how you going to pay for it.

.

you going to pay for roads by selling puka beads?

.

You just going to mimic U.S. law but YOU GET TO BE THE BOSS?

.

I dare say you've never even thought, waste disposal through ahahah you not going to have anything that can't disintergrate in a compost? there goes cell phones, tv, cars, moder houses hawaiian telcom, verizon, a t & t radio towers.

.

what's your plan

[h9stjarr]

@curatrix2008 you obviously have no understanding of Hawaiian culture if you think getting rid of technology is going to mean women working harder. Each person in the community is of importance, the land is even MORE important, and it is mutually understood by the people of the need and importance of the opposite sex. Your life is what you make it? Typical capitalist attitude. Your life depends on those you surround yourself with. It would seem to me that you surround yourself with idiots.
