MarkD, Thank you so much for your well thought out article, I agree with most everything you say, whole heartedly but your final statement that Mauna Kea's spiritual value has been exxagerated is from a perspective that lacks an appreciation or reverence for spirituality. This is an important division that we can identify that will keep these two groups from ever uniting. Mutual respect is the only way forward and not just on the Universities/TMTs terms. This is THE issue that has pushed more than one solid TMT supporter over to the other side.
