TMT Construction Can Proceed

[MarkP]

I know people who have spent years, decades even, on the mountain and they saw very little traditional cultural activity. Granted they could have missed alot but they should also have seen alot too if the claims of protesters are true. They didn't see much of anything so there's that. Hawaiians from all the other islands would not have had any cultural practices that involved Mauna Kea so there's that too. Also I must admit that if I think the Catholic church should be bitch-slapped into the 21st century it stands to reason I would feel the same way about any other cultural group on earth no matter how genuinely traditional their cultural practices are. That's on top of how ungenuine and untraditional I find much of the present day theatrics.

So I also don't think an amphitheater would be any more culturally appropriate than the telescopes. An amphitheater and the telescopes are both part of history as history includes now.
