A Hawaii lawmaker whose solution to dealing with the state's homeless problem was to take a sledgehammer to shopping carts says he's putting aside the hammer -- for now.State Rep. Tom Brower, a five-term Democrat who represents Waikiki and Ala Moana, had been going block by block during his spare time in search of stray shopping carts used by the state's estimated 17,000 homeless people, smashing them to pieces. The tool-toting legislator, who says he's "disgusted" with people who live on the street, reportedly smashed 30 carts in the past two weeks.
