TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

[beepbeep]

Admittedly I was no fan of hanging chads.

But I think everyone who lives in Hawaii has some rights. I could see a time period required of living in Hawaii to be considered a resident (a reasonable time period, a few years, perhaps.) But percentage of any bloodline, no. Reminds me of the one drop rule in the time of slavery in the US which was used to decide who was a black person. I think Nazi Germany determined who was Jewish with a rule that anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents was Jewish. These groups were not considered to have the rights other residents of the US had, or other residents of Germany had, respectively. The kingdoms, if you like, determined membership based on bloodlines. Not something to emulate, in my opinion.

I know Dory might not agree with me and sometimes people have to agree to disagree. We all have our points of view. I happen to have always considered racism to be vile, evil, execrable.

So the question is, whose votes count, and who gets to vote, when it comes down to making decisions about TMT or anything else?
