TMT construction begins Monday 15 July

[glinda]

If someone decides to go on a hunger strike and starves to death it's on them.

IMO, you give lawyers far too little credit.

reni - I posted about it a few months back. The story is here:

an agreement in the lease to return the environment to a state as previously found

What if were acceptable to return the environment to a state of rip-n-roll cleared pad for new construction?

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

The news lady asks him if someone of the protesters gets sick or injured or dies, would the TMT accept responsibility?

Perhaps the news lady implied that a group of people who can’t or wouldn’t take personal responsibility for their own well being, and would expect the TMT to act as caretaker & check writer, might already be at their practical limit.

Dan - for various reasons I'm not going to answer your question as it can be taken the wrong way and twisted by certain people, but the cost to taxpayers, caused by the protest, is significant.

[TomK]

geochem - I suspect you are correct.

"And beside, considering all the ways a billion plus might be spent to help those in need, or to develop alternatives to CO2 emitting devices, or a myriad of other more worthy causes that a bunch of rich folks staring at the stars. I mean gee, you all go on and on about that f*cking telescope as if its a god. Some deity you all jack off to or some such. Sure staring at the stars is all fine and good, but my god, people are suffering, the planet is being raped, and you all squeal, like stuck pigs, whenever someone disses your sacred telescope!"

Tom, from my perspective, a perspective I know you are loath to acknowledge, and feel, as you apparently do about so much, is beneath yours, you are a great spokesperson for those who have risen up against the telescope industry here. Seriously man, your lack of humility serves those you speak out against far more than the cause you speak for. And I know you'll never understand that. But keep in mind, and again from my perspective, if the TMT has to go, you contributed to its demise far more than you would wish.

Glinda, if you are going to persist in attacking a member personally, because of their views, you will soon be taking a Punaweb vacation.

Assume the best and ask questions.
