E kala mai, rainyjim, with respect, the "majority" of Hawaiians could not have supported nor been against the TMT. The "elected officials", and the self purported representatives of the Hawaiian Kingdom/Nation (whatever it is) are not representative of the "majority".

I'm afraid we've drifted into semantics...

The point I was making is that it passed all of the permitting and decision making processes.

I think indeed that the majority could have either supported or been against in theory, however, I do recognize as you appear to indicate that their input is not necessarily recognized by any representative group.

That said, the fact that it passed and with input from the recognized political representation of Native Hawaiians it is much more indicative that it was supported by the majority rather than it not being supported by the majority.

Again...semantics...they are not the most productive area of discussion for this particular discussion.
