Thank God we are not debating "Diversion of lava" anymore!
Ah yes, the good old days.
We were all so young, so optimistic, and some of us thought if we couldn't change the world, at least we could try to divert it!
It was a simpler time, back in the good old days.
But that discussion only involved our little corner of the islands. Now this new controversy takes us from Pu'u O'o to Mauna Kea, and people on every mountain from Hawaii to Kaua'i have chimed in because we all live on mountains in Hawaii, don't we? Everyone builds their home on a mountain, works on a mountain, and dies on one of Hawaii's mountains. Mauna Loa, Haleakala, West Maui Mountains, Ko'olau, Mt. Waialeale... Just as sacred, or forgotten?
