I was being sarcastic.  The above comment was a crass, reductive generalization.  Yours is rather sweeping too.  There are plenty of people in Hawaii that care about their community.  The idea that Hawaii people are exceptionally apathetic is a myth.  There's a great deal of apathy, entitlement, and disillusionment in the US as a nation; there's also a great number of caring, altruistic, and committed people in the US.  Hawaii is not exception to those trends.
