That's right, and we're desperately in need of some humor! On many fronts.
I think the majority of people I meet who are moving to Puna at the moment, especially to "Puna Mauka,"--which is rapidly becoming so culturally different than Pahoa and HPP that it's amazing--really are moving to the area to make some sort of "last stand" against what they see as a very uncertain future. There may be varying levels of certainty and urgency, but in common is certainly a acknowledgment of a reasonable possibility of societal disruption--and the possibility is high enough that real tangible action is warranted. It's a very reasonable and practical group, and SCOPE is a good term and fitting.
It's why I'm here. That much should be obvious by now.
