Boiled it down to brass tacks, and the results of this poll shows, that the people of Hawaii had no input on whether they wanted to see the name change happen. Sure we can talk about it, and we can even suggest it, as what the legislature did in 2016 in passing a resolution. But talking about it, thinking about it and then taking that suggestion and changing the name stripped out a great deal of the voices in this state. 

The legislature and those who voted for the resolution should have known better than to pass the resolution and then go about having a fight on rail. They should have known that if the name change happened without any real input, the people would not be "going for" the change. 

Well, the poll truly shows that. 

There is only so much that the people of Hawaii is going to stomach, and they won't care about being reverential when they (on whatever day the new sign is revealed) say that this change is not pono to them, at all.
