Dejah, don't ever in life give your power up to someone just because they hold a higher position than you. And never listen to people who just want you to keep quiet. You shame Dr James with that type of defense. He is not greater than you or anyone else. He is just like all of us. Try not to let a person's position sway you. Be strong and don't look for friends where there are none. <BR/> KimoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-82924348106298421652008-11-01T19:09:00.000-10:002008-11-01T19:09:00.000-10:00Dr James, please respond to Dejah's post.

Is this the way you think of us here. God has created us all in his image. Maybe you should learn the same lesson the Dr. is learning. Pick you word wisely. I am sure the Dr. has thick skin and will learn from this. Everyone needs someone at some point in time to help them grow. Just be happy that he sees his errors and is willing to improve. I am sure he will not be happy to see your post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-20039889371043612202008-11-01T18:54:00.000-10:002008-11-01T18:54:00.000-10:00Dejah, you are not helping matters. The truth is ...Dejah, you are not helping matters. The truth is that a person with a PHD is held in high esteem and people should be angry when comments are made which are not true but are said as if it is fact. You dilute the Doctors credentials by stating that we should not test his words even if they are false. When you have a PHD you need to act with care in your choice of words. Remember, you are in the islands now and the word of someone is important. Don't talk down to us and don't diminish what he has worked for. Let him learn and grow and then we will all be better for it. He is trying and we love people who learn and keep going. Your statement suggests that he does not need to. You are in error and it is this type of reason which brings about untouchable people in power. We do not want in Hawaii what you have in Washington. If you can't take the heat get out of Hawaii. But we will not shut up to please you or anyone else. We hold our leaders, and he is a leader in high esteem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-82703327849913269052008-11-01T18:13:00.000-10:002008-11-01T18:13:00.000-10:00I apologize for my omission of Dr Coleman in my he...I apologize for my omission of Dr Coleman in my head-counting, and I will do more research to try to find out the exact numbers. <BR/><BR/>In case, the bottom line is I want to increase the number of people of Hawaiian descent getting into higher education and into professional science careers. <BR/><BR/>I definitely do **not** think anyone in the local community is dumb, and I will try harder with my choice of words to make sure that this is not the impression that I give off. <BR/><BR/>Aloha<BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752958130527744394.post-81651869767296882008-11-01T16:48:00.000-10:002008-11-01T16:48:00.000-10:00I think you people want to find fault with this sc...I think you people want to find fault with this scientist and therefore nothing he does will please you. You're nitpicking. <BR/><BR/>In fact, he set the record straight on what HE said about the building, but you insisted on busting his chops about the Hawaiian astronomers. You know that there have been very few native Hawaiians go through to become PHD astronomers; most of us in the community would not have known it either, particularly if that scientist didnt' make a big deal of it himself. <BR/><BR/>I think you people would make more friends if you stopped chipping away at your own credibility by attacking a man who is trying to do something good.<BR/><BR/>Now, why not grow up and accept that it's entirely possible that he really didn't know there was ONE Hawaiian PHD astronomer in the world; it probably wasn't out of malevolence... we don't all sit around delving into people's ethnicities in the astronomy community. It would be rude, and no doubt some of you would then bitch about how we were nosing into people's backgrounds. <BR/><BR/>Sheesh, I can't believe you people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
