Had our rock in the middle of nowhere not been stolen by American
businessmen, we might be celebrating Victoria Day today. The Hawaiian
Royals were enamored by the British Monarchy and modeled their rule
after the Brits. We're a part of the United States and yet our state
flag is dominated by the Union Jack. I always thought that was kind of
weird.
