TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

Thanks for the link, Opihikao. Much wisdom there. It reminds me of an eye-opening experience I had a couple of years ago. A neighbor who was working with honor students at Hilo High had a luncheon for the 32 graduates who had won academic scholarships. She asked them how many expected to be living and working in Hawaii ten years in the future. Exactly one student said she would, and one other said "maybe." The best and brightest of this island see no future here. Like Mr. Walter so wisely points out, cultures which embrace modern technology and change thrive. Those who reject it wither.

It will be a hollow "victory" if Hawaiians block the TMT and further limit chances for economic advancement in this state. If there are no decent jobs, only dependency and decline will be awaiting any Hawaiian sovereign entity that might be created.
