TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

There are some people who say Native Hawaiian people have more rights than others on the island. Then there is the "Grown Not Flown" philosophy.

Question:
Using that logic, wouldn't it follow that if a person is not Native Hawaiian, wasn't born here, and doesn't live here, that little or no importance should be attached to what they say about events on Hawaii Island? Wouldn't it be right at rock bottom in terms of relevance and importance? Let's say they lived here for a time, but decided to move somewhere they've said is better for them and family, turned their back on those who remain, like a deserter or a traitor, no better than a defector or a turncoat. Doesn't that choice make every opinion uttered no more than a hypocrite's wanton gibberish?

If we saw the car a person like this drives, would it proudly display a bumper sticker:
