Kind of like fake news, don't you think?
It's a factual quote from the mayor of Maui, the highest ranking public official on that island.
You may not agree with what he said, and you may even have information that in your opinion proves him incorrect, but that still doesn't change his words from real to fake. Now, the content of his quote, sacred rocks, that of course can be debated until kingdom come. Along with the parallel or tangential discussion of... which kingdom?
My original comment was meant to show that not all islands have the same approach to handling situations like the TMT construction. The Iao Valley cleanup has taken a different approach as did the planning and development of the Honolulu rail system.
"If you build it, they will come."
Is that the tagline for a movie that's a heartwarming drama, a political potboiler, or horror flick?
TomK makes an important point however. Both sides are entrenched in their beliefs or their logic, and logic will not affect the minds of a believer or vice versa. It's a fruitless, disheartening discussion.
No child will ever again doubt they could grow up and someday become president of the United States
