Superferry, is it good or bad for Hawaii?

[Greg]

I first thought the superferry would benefit me by my traveling to Oahu to deliver product and get supplies. Them I found out how expensive it was going to be, and because of the schedule, two nights on Oahu were required. I'll keep shipping USPS. Then I thought maybe people visiting from Oahu would pump up our local economy by spending their money here. It was pointed out that these folks would more likely gas up, and buy all their supplies at the Oahu Costco and pretty much leave us with just their opala. I don't see how the HSF benefits anyone other than the Oahu multitudes looking for other highways and parks to choke.
