All I can say that Aloha has been lost and I feel sad that Hawaiians can not find a better way forward. The anti-tmt crowd have not offered any solutions other than to drive the astronomy industry away and many hope for various forms of what can only be described as an ethnic cleansing and/or minority rule.
I think if some of these people in glass houses spent time in the other Pacific Islands they wouldn't be so quick to toss stones at the glass walls. There are innumerable benefits with being a US State.
