Science Prevails

Make no mistake the opposition were nothing but meddlesome Luddites who wrapped their backwards views in a thin film of "heritage."

From the Science Magazine article:

Update, 28 September, 4:40 p.m.: Hawaii’s Board of Land and Natural Resources today voted 5-2 to approve a permit to build the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). The vote follows retired judge Riki May Amano’s recommendation this past July to approve the permit. Amano’s recommendation came after a lengthy and often contentious hearing forced by opponents of the TMT, who successfully argued that the land board had not followed proper procedures in 2011 in issuing its first permit for the telescope.

And here is the agenda giveaway:

Lanny Sinkin, who represented Temple of Lono, a Hawaiian faith group based on Hawaii Island, says TMT opponents will continue to challenge the project. “This is far from over,” he says.

They are saying stuff like that but it's just SJW types hoping for go away money.

Wrote the last section of the American Revolution UU speech. Boy our ancestors liked listening to a long speech. The farewell address is 6500 words long. However it wasn't given aloud but published in newspapers.

Rob Dawg said...

Blackhalo won't admit that he banned me by using standards applicable only to me. Ask him why tuck still posts.

I too appreciate Outsider. I hope she takes my kidding about New England as the gentle chides they are.

Cinco-X said...

IIRC, she grew up in Central Florida not far from where I went to High School. I doubt she has any peculiar attachment to New England
