"It's mind blowing how nothing gets done in these days of Contrarians, Yuppies and Hippies arguing over every new project..." Aloha, check out my opinion article in the (03-22-13) edition of the Kaua'i Garden Island news, "Imagine." http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-friday-march/article_41ac66b6-92b5-11e2-bc49-001a4bcf887a.html |
Imagine the time is many years ago and Kaua'i is about to construct the Kuhio hwy, imagine the anti-development people of today living back then? They would say to no to a highway, because they hear cars cause cancer from the exhaust and prefer to stay in their horse and buggy.
Imagine the time comes to build an airport and the people are concerned with noise pollution and the potential of birds crashing into airplanes?
Imagine when telephones became popular and telephone poles needed to be erected, what about eye pollution, what about the radiation put off by the wires?
Imagine any of the modern conveniences of today having to be approved by environmental impact studies back when they were first introduced into society?
I am thankful the people of today did not live back then, otherwise I am sure we would still be using the pony express! Not that's there anything wrong with that. ;D)
