Look at it this way, if someone qualifies at 1/16 Hawaiian blood linage, then the haoles win by legal statute as that person is 15/16th NOT Hawaiian. I understand Geeky Tiki's argument to a degree, but one must remember, the Hawaiian islands are not a contiguous land mass with the mainland USA; it's freakin' 1,000's of miles away! Unfortunatly, it's too late. The barn doors open, the cat's out of the bag, nothing will return Hawaii or the Native American lands to the good ol' days.
