Oh, and another thing. Look closer - there are native Hawaiians in
the group of friends. Open your mind a bit. These kids are probably
giving us a very honest look at what life is like for them living on
the island. And you've got to be crazy to believe that this is the
only group of Hawaiians out drinking and being involved in
otherwise "illicit" behavior. I have a good friend in Hawaii and I
just know better than that. There are people doing the same sh*t
everywhere.
