 Aloha. Thanks for your consideration of the views expressed in this think-tick commentary, which we are calling, we need a fairy now more than ever. We're talking about the super-fairy, or any fairy between the islands of our unique island state. Somehow, after the state Supreme Court ruled against the super-fairy, and the state legislature was paralyzed about it, the idea of a fairy between the islands got to be politically radioactive, and that was, and it still is, a great tragedy for our state. Aside from the environmental impact statement issued that the Supreme Court ruled on to stop the super-fairy, it was working very well. It was cheap, efficient and on time, and served the people well until the environmental groups were able to stop it in court. But those legal problems are not insurmountable. A new inter-island fairy project can and should be undertaken. We need someone, some champion in the government, to advocate for a fairy now. A fairy can transport people to their friends and relatives, and for vacations on the neighbor islands with their cars, better than airlines can. It can help neighbor island farmers take their produce to market with their trucks, better than barges can. A fairy can let us see the mountains, the ocean and the sky, and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of our islands. And it can bring our state and our people together, something we desperately need to do to build our society and our economy. Yes, if Hawaii is to thrive, we do need to build our economy and make things better for our people. We will all be so much better off if we can bring the islands together in a better connected statewide economy. This is especially so in view of the critical need to rebuild Maui. The barge and car rental companies may oppose a new fairy, as they did before, but their concerns are not as important as the benefits that would be derived for the rest of us and for the state in general. It's hard to understand why our state government gave up the idea of a fairy between the islands. There are so many great things that would come from a project like this. We cannot leave it in the dustbin of history. We need to resurrect this very worthy project, and we need to do it right away. Right to your legislator. Right to the governor and to our federal delegation. Talk it up and write it up in letters to the editor and op-ed pieces in the newspaper and other media. And talk to your friends, especially those who would benefit, most everyone would, by having a fairy again. Thanks for your consideration of the views expressed in this Think Tech commentary, which we are calling, we need a fairy now more than ever. Aloha.
