No matter how flat the pancake . . .

. . . there are always two sides.

The controversy over the new Hawaiian Registry is such an issue.  A happy day for one faction (a step towards Hawaiian recognition and sovereignty), a wrong move for the other faction (institutionalized racism).  See the Staradvertiser article here and read the comments.

I was rather startled to see Abercrombie and Schatz signing with Mahealani Wendt.

Another, is the lawsuit over Ho'opili.  Clayton Hee and the Sierra Club are suing the Land Use Commission over the approval of the Ho'opili housing project.  The Staradvertiser article is here .  It appears that even the farmers are split on this one, with the Hawaii Farm Bureau supporting the housing project and other farms in opposition.
