All aboard
Let me say right up front that I am not a proponent of rail. This tiny island needs a $5-10 Billion Portland Rail system as much as Babe Ruth needs a colonoscopy. What Hawaii does need is a better education system, a genesis of thought and new ideas as a ways and means of pulling itself up by its own boot straps.
One does not have to have kids to understand that a child’s right to a good education, a thorough education far surpasses in importance; any way you want to look at it, the right to less traffic.
Some think procreation is building rail and some believe procreation is allowing our children to be smarter than we are. Neither is easy. Only one is necessary for the future of these Islands. Can someone tell me how rail and managing Hawaii’s traffic is more important than our children and giving them a better education? Someone? Anyone?
