An august body such as OHA having precipitously reversed their decision, one made after seven years of informed deliberation and then remade after a few weeks of protest by fanatics who could have been speaking up all along, is hardly something to celebrate even on the part of the protesters. OHA can't have much credibility left. The protesters never did. Why such eagerness to give up the gravy train that has been sustaining us all? Can they not see that nobody would want to do business with people who could screw up a deal like this? I pretty much DO think it a given that they would fall under the influence of one power or another. They are like the scions of a wealthy family who upon inheriting the wealth would soon lose it because they clearly have no idea how it was generated in the first place and what was at stake.
