"Our fishponds, archaeological sites, kalo terraces, springs, navigational skills, mo'olelo passed down are enough for sustainability and set knowledge for the betterment of Hawaii nei."  With all due respect I disagree.  I'm part-Hawaiian and like it or not at the present time with the internet, air travel, etc..... we are part of the WORLD economy.  The telescope MAY give your children a higher IQ level or scholarship as I understand money from the TMT project will get set aside for Hawaii's student's for education.  I'm all for keeping and not losing our culture, yet "we" need to join the rest of the world.  If we hang on to the past and try and make that our future, we'll get left behind.  Aloha.
