Superferry foes gathering to fight special session

[Thunderfoot]

This is a good thread and the meeting in Kona reflected the majority were opposing the superferry.And yes it isn't about treehuggers,not that there is anything wrong with that.What is sad is that people that care about the environment are somehow degraded to a tree hugger by some people.The issue is about how will this for profit eneterprise affect the environment,a National Treasure and resource(protected by laws).And does the luxury of this transportation override all other parameters that are superlative to luxury.Whales and turtles can not attend meetings.Hawks can not attend meetings or sign petitions.They have a right to live and raise their young as much as we do.Hawaii will loose the very beauty that people,and tourists, come here for in the first place.Plus,what about the influx of vehicles on this country highway.Where are they all going to fit?There are many issues here, like gov.corruption.

Capitalism helps liberty die with tremendous applause,when we begin to covet luxury over all other things.
