Nice, eh? A perfect view of paradise. A lot can change in 1000 years. Used to be nothing but taro fields, far as the eye could see. Agriculture was just about the only industry keeping Hawaii floating. That is, until the white man crept out here. They crushed the fields, brought in sand by the boatload from Sunny California. All for some useless hotels thought up by even more useless bastards. That striking view you see is an illusion, a landscape of smoke and mirrors. - Dwight to Ichiban
