Waikiki must never become a place where only those people and activities sanctioned by the visitor industry are welcome. The ACLU of Hawai'i couldn't agree more.

Liberals walk to work, use candles and take a cold shower.
Regarding carbon dioxide emissions. Anyone who thinks CO2 is a harmful gas should hold a CO2 detector in front of his mouth when he exhales.

In fact, consumers have been victimized by the existing system, a fact that Democrats and Republicans alike realized when they voted to change the law.
