real point
If you didn't understand my original comment, let me explain in detail. There have been several people (or perhaps I should say several 'usernames' as some are the same person), who go on at length with no basis in fact that the telescopes should not exist on Mauna Kea because as far as they're concerned, there are not enough Native Hawaiian astronomers working there.
By that logic, if the observatories shouldn't be there because of the lack of Hawaiian astronomers, I half expected those same 'usernames' to suggest we should close down medical facilities on Hawaii Island because Hawaiian doctors did not play a prominent enough role in our healthcare history. If Hawaiians chose not go to medical school, we should all suffer the consequences.
But the topic is the history of healthcare, which in the article linked above, described the complete lack of Big Island emergency care on weekends back in the 1970's. Can you imagine?
It... lends weight to Goethe's felicitous description of architecture as 'frozen music.' ... Does this, I often wonder, make music 'defrosted architecture?' Listening to Bach's Goldberg variations as I often do on walks when motorway noise and other auditory intrusions preclude the music of silence, it strikes me that it might. - Pub Walks in Underhill Country, Nat Segnit
