"The USA would never let Hawai’i leave" sounds like the outdated mindset that said Blacks would never be freed from slavery in the USA or that women or Blacks would never get the vote. The people who think "never" are those who forget that they, and other human beings, have free will and responsibility for creating a just society. While naysayers, who uphold the USA as the almighty continue kidding themselves, we, who remember that we the people have the power, continue to push for change and continue to make it happen.
