An Assignment
Will you accept a research assignment? I hope so. Here it is:
When, if ever, has appeasement ever been effective as a government policy or practice? Why or why not?
How does that relate to the Akaka Bill and all that has occurred before it was introduced? Senator Dan Inouye has said that the Akaka Bill is a “first step.” Is that relevant?
Send the results of your study to this blog, or if you wish to do an essay, send it to the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, grassroot@hawaii.rr.com and we will consider it for publication.

President, GRIH

Well, France is still around, if you consider surrender the most sincere form of appeasement…:)
