Yeah, I don't know that I'd cancel my vacation just because of the fires. If
the resort I was staying at still had power, water, open restaurants, etc., I
don't see any reason to just pack up and leave, especially considering things
like non-refundable deposits, charges for changing plane tickets, etc.

They're saying it's disrespectful for people to be swimming in the ocean and
recreating after this tragedy occurred, but that's what happens everywhere
else. We have wildfires all the time in L.A., some of which are deadly and
burn down hundreds of homes but no one suggests it's disrespectful for the
tourists to be using our beaches or that they should pack up and go home early
because of it.

It depends on what the situation actually is. If they are truly
running low on various resources and the tourists are using up those
valuable resources then I would agree that they should leave or cancel
their plans. If on the other hand the tourists aren't impacting the
resources needed to take care of the locals or to help recover from
the damage done by the fires than I'm not sure what the tourists
leaving is going to accomplish.

So you're too stupid not to conflate "Hawaii" and "Maui" too? Yeah,
that tracks.

Did I hear that the state wants to buy all the land?

I noticed the usual suspects are outraged about Paris Hilton remaining on the
island after her vacation was interupted to help hand out bottled water.

I am outraged that Hilton Hotels are using that worthless slag in their
advertising.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it is still on my list.
