Lapis,
Mahalo. Sounds like you could be now or have been in the past a Kama'aina.
Aloha nui aloha, Blueduck
"We shall extend and display respect to all others which reflects our own appreciation of humanity. We shall carry our pride quietly, neither boasting of ourselves nor speaking badly of others - often a dishonest method of self-praise. Yet we must be unashamed of our principles and honest in our criticisms."
~ Hawaiian Code of Conduct
