Just because.. if you think the issue of the TMT is limited to a telescope and it's place on our Mauna you are missing the point entirely. If you think the 'rule of law' is a fixed unchanging, rigid, modality in which we all live, you are missing the point. Hawaii is the home of the Hawaiians, and they are getting stronger, and more centered, more grounded, and proud in themselves with every breath they take.
As I said, the whole thing is in motion. The brothers and sisters that occupied Kahoolawe are saints. They sparked the renaissance, the people have their language, and with it their minds are being formed not as Americans but as Hawaiians, and there is no stopping them now. It may be unfortunate that the TMT has become the icon, but it has, and it will not be built unless someone grows a pair and addresses the core issues, and the people, involved.
Look at these people. Face it. It is not going away..
And for god's sake, as kalianna pointed out, would you really want it any other way?
