I think maybe I do. Wielding power can be fun and the Hawaiian protesters
proved that a very small handful of average people who have no special
skills or insights can totally derail a mighty 1.5 billion dollar telescope
and plunge a lot of non-average people with fancy booklearing degrees into
despair. That's a lot of power and some people in the Canary Islands were
playing close attention to how it all unfolded, and after that ... well...
monkey see monkey do.
