That's plain speaking right there. Good. So, what does a telescope have to do with the overthrow of a kingdom over 100 years ago?

PS Please stick to facts and avoid beliefs

Just taking a guess at this question, PaulW, the TMT will be built on "Ceded" Lands/Crown Lands.

An article of explanation (quite accurate) re: "Ceded" Lands

That being said, TMT should be built, the Hawaiian Kingdom/Nation can claim ownership, as part of the settlement with the USA, among other "Ceded Lands" (Crown Lands). The Hawaiian Kingdom/Nation would be the proud owner of one the greatest telescopes in the world. Stating this with my rose colored glasses on.[]

Mr. Tucker, great questions, and sure hope we get a reasonable answer. Having one foot in each world is beginning to really weigh heavily.

Kane, trying really hard not to take exception with your post regarding our culture, but do understand not being raised with my Kupuna, you cannot be expected to comprehend our "belief". We are a very spiritual people, as many other people are, and my life experiences are very factual. Very factual.

Some of our Kupuna were not Christian at all, but Kahuna. Things you would not believe, even if you saw it with your own eyes (which I have), are "facts". It is just the nature of our culture, Sir. Sorry, rambling in trying to explain the perhaps unexplainable.

I'm going to reread your comment to try and understand what you are saying without taking offense.


Going to make a few spam musubi for the kids, and enjoy the sun.

JMO.

ETA; sentence structure sucks. lol.
