The whole democratic old boy network is entrenched and systemic throughout every state agency. Although not as dominant as before it certainly was built upon one ethnicity. To ignore this basic fact is sheer dissonance. John Burns deal with the devil in the early 60s led to our current dismal and corrupt economy today. The Japanese vote controls this state and although diminished by the haole and mixed race vote today it's still pivotal in every election with a Japanese candidate. In a state where only 30% of registered voters actually vote any conjecture about the weight of voter ethnicity is misguided and without foundation. I'd like to see a honest discussion of how the dominant population during post war years led to Hawaii's current pitiful state of being.
