For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts (赊购账 ) are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders f
32、eel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.

This is position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs(OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives interests and w
46、hich has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.
