no chance, the US is the first almost purely market-based society. Our civilization will adapt to any situation as it happens because someone will find a way to make money and everyone will follow. If there's no way out for the US then that means there's no way out for the world and we're all toast anyways
its not about adapting... there are so many words that come to mind..
After the Hawaiian royalty was overthrown by American plantation owners and businessmen, Japan sent warships to scout the islands. There was fear that the Japanese intended to take the islands as part of their empire. The American businessmen pleaded for US intervention and this is why Hawaii was annexed. If not for the US annexing the islands, it's likely that Hawaii would be part of Japan today. There would've been no Pearl Harbor and thus, no US in WW2. The history of the world would have been much different.
The push for the annexation of Hawaiʻi to the United States began in the late 1840s during the reign of Kamehameha III -- 50 years before Japan obtained warships capable of posing a serious threat to any nation. Kingdom of Hawai'i
Moreover, even at it's military peak, Japan probably would not have been able to successfully annex Hawaiʻi because of the lengthy supply lines it would've entailed. In any event, the Japanese occupation of the Philippines and Guam would've have been enough of a pretext for the U.S. to enter WWII.
Native people need to concentrate on getting the E.P.A. off their land before the government poisons them ...
The ACA will hand out pox infected blankets next ...
IMO "independence" as many separatists view it nowadays - be it in Quebec, Scotland, Catalonia, or closer to home in Hawaii and Puerto Rico - is largely a fictitious romantic pipedream that hasent been reality since the 19th century if it ever was.
Fact of the matter is that if Hawaii did become independent the Chinese would swoop right in. Same for Puerto Rico.
So in other words; you have no idea.
Why couldn't you have just said that or not have responded to my post at all?

can you get the E.P.A. to go check out China... how about India too
Hawaii has only 30 native residents and Alaska's Eskimo are few as well.
Hawaiians are super lethargic and lazy and want a free chunk of the tourism industry.
I don't know what Alaskans have a problem with. They can go for days still without seeing people.
