51. I understand your

adamant desire for scientific inquiry but I also am very interested in protecting indigenous rights. If you can, perhaps, recognize that your zeal for this facility is much like that of gun humpers in the US... "Screw anyone who doesn't want what I want and I don't care bout your culture cuz mine rules." Reminds me of the bison wars up in my neck o' the woods... people build their trophy homes in prime habitat then bitch about bison crossing their yards when in reality, they could have built their trophy homes just about anywhere else on the planet and not had that problem.

Personally, I am not so concerned about all of the universe out there when we continue to trash the planet we inhabit, disrespecting those with whom we disagree and denigrate their rights for the sake of "what if" kinds of inquiry. What could we have spent all that money on besides a spy glass that pretty much tells us we don't know what we don't know?

I'm not anti-science but I think some respect for those whom we have oppressed for over a century should be offerd here. Go put your expensive toy someplace else.

I just don't agree with your sentiment on this issue, especially with your "fuck 'em" attitude.
