The flying part is easy.It's the landing part, straddled with the additional party baggage picked up inflight that will be an Icarus like event.

Many folks see Hawaii's full tilt to the Democrats deeply running the State as a continuation of government handouts to the out stretched recieving hands of entitlement. I guess if everyones happy and safe and likes big government running their way of life why rock the boat? Im thinking a balance of government works better as long as it works for the people, not a division of "tribes". The biggest issue in these beautiful islands seems to be homelessness and substance abuse, are we getting the job done to make better or worse? How did HI get to where it is now?
