In the link TomK provided (above), on page two I read the following comment:
"Petitioners further propose that, given the holiday season, evidentiary hearings be scheduled sometime between January 16, 2017 through January 27, 2017."
Do I understand this correctly? The petitioner, who wants to prevent the TMT from being built on his holy mountain because a telescope would be a desecration of his beliefs and religion, has asked the court for a scheduled recess to celebrate the (I assume) Christian holiday, so he may personally take part in the festivities to perpetuate a religion which did everything in it's power through missionaries and lay followers to destroy all aspects of the Hawaiian culture, language, and religion?
Please someone, tell me I read that wrong.
No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly; and this self-deceit is yet stronger with respect to the offspring of the mind. -Miguel de Cervantes, novelist (1547-1616)
