The site atop Maunakey is unique in the world in its scientific importance for astronomical observation. It has no peer in the N. hemisphere.

TMT is the crown jewel of 21st Century high-technology and its loss is not only a huge loss for all the people of Hawaii and future generations here, but for the USA and ultimately, for the human race.
The time for playing lawyer games with neurotics and children is over. If Hawaiians want to follow someone who is not even ethnic Hawaiian and curl up in a foetal position and suck their thumb for the rest of human history that is fine, but they do not speak for the human race on issues of this level of importance.

You can't fix Samsara.
