However, for a subsistence-based culture as Hawaiians were (and are), sand was the least economically profitable landscape to use. It's "easy to dig" but more importantly, not usable for agriculture or animal domestication activities.<br /><br />Sprit world versus reality I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-78954663635683945552010-08-22T09:38:08.427-10:002010-08-22T09:38:08.427-10:00"But only half of that is actually going to b..."But only half of that is actually going to be used to change the utility lines that are killing birds. Much of the rest will be spent on studies with one primary purpose: trying to show there are more birds out there than currently estimated, so KIUC can justify its high take."<br /><br />Thank you for exposing this. KIUC has been profit-obsessed since the beginning. The directors make a fortune. Reforming this "coop" would do far more good for the island than stopping a bike path, or TVR, or maybe even the ferry. Imagine - millions to prepare a slick report aimed at avoiding the environmental law - instead of caring for land and animals and just complying with it. And this, even after they were indicted. Please dig more - and look at the directors personally too - very suspicious company - that kills any company that come close to competing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
