Thanks for the mini-modding advice rainyjim - I'm sure Rob will step in if needed. There have been several other threads on these topics - just answering the questions raised here. If you don't think the "no treaty of annexation" is central to what is happening on Mauna Kea then you've really not been keeping up.

@HOTPE - of course some people have made all those denigrating comments - plenty of them seen here. Same goes for the anti-TMT folks, regardless of what is espoused by the movement leaders. Is the MLK comparison a stretch, of course. Going to jail to demonstrate the injustice of the law, in order to get it changed, is part and parcel of civil disobedience. Being allowed to circumvent the law is something else entirely and will likely come back to bite everyone.
