Aloha, MarkP. It's not really in the details (too many to type and videos all over the place. Lots on youtube, social networks, main stream media, etc.) and fulfills no purpose for me to discuss here. I was just pissed and disappointed in general at the manner this whole thing is being handled, and I wear my heart on my sleeve. That's all.
Some of us (Hawaiians) do support the future of science, but "the Hawaiians never had a massive telescope (or twelve...)". And it goes on and on and on, for both sides of the argument. [xx(] In my view, this is one of several platforms for Nation building/Kingdom reinstatement, and it's a big platform. In the coming months it will be very interesting to see how this all will tie together for Hawai'i. (*Sorry, little OT, but relevant to my concerns here.)
There was no point to Canada directly, it was "an aside". However, Canada's lack of funding is being touted as part of the protestor/protector claim to a small "win". It may just be Canada's financial decision for purposes not related to any protest whatsoever. You're right. It has no bearing on the situation on Mauna Kea today or next week, just didn't think it should be used as a "win" for the protestors/protectors.
Completely agree with you and the keiki being used to hold signs, be on the front line. Sadly it happens all to often at present day protests all over our country (and other countries). Even in war.
This protest coinciding with the Merrie Monarch is no mistake for sure. Hopefully, positive comes from so many people not only watching the Merrie Monarch hula competition, the world is watching Mauna Kea being protected. (TMT also promises to protect the environment at Mauna Kea). I must say, there are warriors both kane, and wahine, up there. On both sides of the issue.
Mahalo for your mana'o, all of you. This subject has obviously jolted my na'au out of sorts. Taking a time out from this thread to reflect, ponder, go with ohana to Mauna Kea sometime this week. Need to center my na'au.
Mahalo ke Akua. Mahalo to all of you who bring balance to my thought process.
JMO.
