While I agree with the gist of your message, it must be noted that the State of Hawaii did not sell an island to Larry Ellison. Rather, most of Lanai, the island you are mentioning, was previously owned by a pineapple company. And Larry Ellison bought that land. I highly recommend spending some time in Lanai if you find yourself on Maui. It’s a short boat ride, there’s a couple good beaches, some interesting geography, and about 1/1000 the volume of tourists you run into on Maui.
