Access to Mauna Kea

[Tink]

A few thoughts here that are bound to piss someone off. Sorry for my ignorance, but why are their two laws to go by? I can understand if the entire island is classified by the U.S. As a"reservation", and Hawaiian law takes precedence, but if it is not then why a "double standard" instead of DHHL land under "reservation", or Hawaiian law, and non DHHL land under U.S. Law, as on the mainland.
If they cut the food deliveries and periodic "star" appearances would there really be that much of a draw for the cause?
What if we did "go back where we came from". What would be the outcome if we packed up all our "Western" big box stores, car dealerships and let them become sovereign without U.S. Support? Could one survive without welfare, EBT, etc.? What if another Country like Japan, who already has vast real estate holdings here, and has overpopulated and ecologically trashed their island and desperately needs to find another home, or China. You can bet they don't have programs like the U.S. gives out, and you can see how China deals with protests.
In all, one should be very careful what they wish for. The U.S. may not be perfect, but it sure is a lot better than other places.
