Mauna Kea and a third way

[Kalena]

It is day 14 of the protest on our mountain. As time goes on more and more people join the protectors. Why is that? Are these people ant-science? Ant-knowledge? And are the people who support the TMT anti- justice? I don't think so. But we are so accustomed to binary thought of an antiquainted kind: there's always a winner and that means there's always a loser. But wait. Maybe there's a third way. The Hawaiians call it Kapu Aloha which means all are treated with love, respect and empathy in a dispute. Yes, empathy. That means that every effort is made to walk in the shoe of the Other. That may mean there is a third way.
