quote:C'mon, ohiagrrl. How do you get from what I said to the absurd assumption that I agree with Jeff Sessions? I don't. In fact, one could even make the argument that some of the TMT protesters who deny the fact that Hawaii is a legal part of the United States are closer to that point of view than I am.

C'mon Chunkster,Do you also believe that Judge Derrick Watson had no right to overrule the Muslim Travel Ban? Opposition in the Jeff Sessions camp has the same arguement, "Who is Hawaii to make decisions for the Mainland??"
Assuming that the tourist industry is all Hawaii needs to survive economically is also fallacy. We have a serious brain drain of young, well-educated people, both ethnic Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian, leaving Hawaii for better job opportunities. Those tourist jobs changing beds and serving plate lunches to visitors don't cut it for them. It's not just the TMT jobs alone, but all the other businesses that will never come here because of the unfolding debacle.
