For the second time today Critical Reader is trolling, focusing on me rather than the issue in the article.  But I'll take the bait and give you some homework, although I wonder if your next shot will be to demand that I take a stand against the crucifixion of Jesus.

Here are my 5 fundamental philosophical principles related to civil rights:

1. Aloha for all.
2. All persons are equal in the eyes of God regardless of race.
3. All persons should be treated equally under the law by our government regardless of race.
4. Hawaii should remain unified with the United States.
5. The lands and people of Hawaii should remain unified under the single sovereignty of an undivided State of Hawaii.
