TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

Somebody has dragged a canoe up to Mauna Kea (symbolic of Noah's ark on a mountain?).

It's not about the telescope.
It's not about the movie "Aloha."
It's not about the word "Aloha."

I can understand what the protestors intended to do when they built a canoe at 9000 ft in elevation near the top of Mauna Kea. Culture. Heritage. If you want to stretch the point some, they could claim there is the connection between voyaging canoes and navigating by the stars. But the ancient sailors didn't begin their ocean journey at the top of a mountain.

If the protestors wish to make a point, the construction of a canoe as far away from water as possible (with the exception of Lake Waiau) only extends the disconnect between their message and their actions.

I know this canoe building demonstration is only one example, and maybe an isolated example at that. But someone needs to step up, bring one or two of the top issues of the protestors front and center, and place those concerns in context so they make sense, not so they're made fun of.
