Hawaiian sovereignty

Hawaiians are likely to be given more freedom. This illustrates one of the ways that "choose your own government" could come about.

Choosing your own government is a key part of the land rent site. But how do you persuade governments to give people freedom? Hawaii shows one solution. If a government is sufficiently powerful (like America), it may feel safe in giving a tiny bit of freedom to some distant part (like Hawaii), in return for popularity or convenience.

Each freedom is a very tiny step, but if it can be shown to be harmless, and to benefit the parent government, it will be followed by more tiny steps. Each tiny step may not give obvious benefits. But we need to keep our eye on the eventual goal: economic justice - and hence freedom.

"Texas--it's a whole other country" used to be a tourist slogan. Perhaps they'll make that a reality someday. God help us.

As long as all the Texans want it, and they are willing to pay for any inconvenience, they should go for it! They would soon learn if their standard of living went up or down.
