This project is the biggest snafu in the history of Hawaii, second to the inter-island ferry.  It would take a miracle to turn this pig's ear into a silk purse.  I think at one time, we really got excited over the prospect of having our own overhead rail.  It didn't look that intrusive on the continent.  But that bubble soon burst when we saw the first concrete pillars rise up to dominate the skyline.  I guess we were really hopeful it would work...but then we woke up to reality!
