yes, I think it's that kind of accountable
Perhaps "should be" is more accurate; what we seem to have is
- people desecrating the land and the law in the name of protecting sacredness
- a legal system which refuses to prosecute them because the desecration is sacred
I'm reminded of the famous quote: "It's just a bunch of people doing whatever they want." -- while this was originally applied to Puna, it seems to be the general state of the Big Island.
Put another way, "permits are for suckers."
