there are already measures to come into effect that require visitors to Mauna Kea to be educated about the mountain by the Office of Mauna Kea Management (OMKM). I don't agree with charging for access, I think that would be seen the wrong way and making access more difficult for local folk, but think I would favour a fee for the tour buses. The observatories already pay for the upkeep of the road and summit services including the excellent rangers. I don't think the tour companies do although I might be wrong.

How would the education come into play, Tom? Good to know.

The new trend in the state is to charge Non-Resident admission. That way it doesn't impact local access. I should have specified, but I was talking about tourism. It wouldn't have to be much. Akaka Falls is $5 now for non-residents.

I would like to see them control the people who are driving up in violation of their rental contracts. You know, that violation means their insurance is void. That means if there's a collision, that they're an uninsured driver ... putting all the burden of insurance on the local driver.

A lot of people plan to drive up there who really have no idea what it's about. Many think they are going up to look through a telescope at the summit. Many don't know anything about potential altitude sickness either.
Oh well ...
btw, it's possible to have a conversation on topic by ignoring what isn't ... one doesn't have to abandon ship.
Especially not you, you work up there!

Once again, orchidlandguy, you show your ignorance and obvious bias towards others.
It was your fellow cyber bully, kathyh, who made the comments about rental cars on the road, which was not completely true.

As posted in the reply you are referring to here is YOUR quote:
posted by mdd7000 stating we were talking about insurance:

here is what my response was:
actually the topic is not insurance companies at all. that is what YOU were discussing. the topic thread is about the telescope, not insurance companies."
---------------------------

As usual, you are again calling me names. I am not "cyber bullying".
See my comment, it is not bullying you in anyway.


As usual, what you do is try to turn it around and make your victim be your bully. You have victimized me over and over on this blog. You have lied about me and when confronted you say you are not wrong and then make up more lies about me. That is bullying and you do it to me, not me to you. I have made no lies up about you.

You said I am posting under other names. You accused me of being mauka, silverpenny and others. This is a lie. I am posting under orchidlandguy only.

You accused me of working for Dell computers.
That is a lie. I have never worked for any computer company, ever.

You stated on punaweb that my name is David and I am Scottish and 60 years old.
All of those are lies and real far off the mark.

You stated I post on other blogs. I have NEVER posted on any other blogs, ever.

These are examples of being a "cyber bully".
That name you call me is yours, buddy.

Orchidlandguy, Do you really want to play this game?

[silverpenny10]

Rob, it's really tough not to take the bait. mdd7000 is extremely abrasive, obsessive, spreading lies and rumors about many. This shouldn't be tolerated.

Have you taken a long hard look in the mirror lately; you may just see your own reflection.

Orchidlandguy and silverpenny need to share a fatty

[silverpenny10]

Bob, Do you have any PROOF of this? If you did, put up or shut up. I've provided proof and references for EVERYTHING I've stated. Sorry your boy lost the election, but unfortunately, I can't take credit. He did that all on his own. Don't shoot the messenger.

[Kelena]

I still think the telescope is a really good idea.

[JerryCarr]

Yes, Glen, the telescope is still a really good idea. Why don't we talk about that instead of finding new ways to insult each other?
