Aloha everyone,
I would love to put my 2 cents into this discussion.
My land is close to Thunderfoot, but I do not live there yet. The reason I selected this area was for the peace and quiet and I would not like helicopters buzzing my place either.
There is plenty of National forest, so there doesn't seem to me to be a problem of either flying over ocean, lava or at a higher altitude over developments. If you are not bothered by the tour helicopters because of their altitude then you have no problem where you live, but apparently it is different according to where you live on the island. Maybe there is more flights because of the change of lava flow. Don't know...

Wow, maybe I am missing something here since I am a fairly new member. I didn't see any aloha there.
I think that statement was judgemental and rude and my gut is telling me that someone else follows a flock... of closed-minded people...my gut also tells me maybe of the same flock that voted our president in office and still defends him.
Maybe the Sierra Club has made some mistakes, don't know...but it seems like they are trying to help the world, even the conservatives!
I have received literature from them and am thinking of joining.
What is so wrong with them?
Can anyone fill me in with the truth?
