yeah, Kimo... though as the student who started the petition expressed, while not a numbers contest, maybe this petition will help show support for those putting the TMT together, who i am sure could use the indication of moral support from the community at large.

Over 3000 now.
Some of the comments on the other petition are illuminating.
"must be stopped at all costs!"
"it's an active volcano!"

A salient example of why our founding fathers worked so hard to establish a democratic republic based off of representative democracy rather than a democracy based off of direct democracy.

am i mistaken in having the impression a petition square off more or less carries a weight similar to that of a high school election at this point?

I think it's more of a ratio of the employed vs the un-employed.
Some people generally "ain't got no time go dat"

i think i understand in part where your sentiment is coming from, though i'd rather avoid the employed vs un-employed stigmatization. for many it doesn't take but a moment to quickly soak in the misinformation blitz and sign on to a catchy cause du jour.
