Superferry sea change

I used to be "against" the Superferry. Now I'm beginning to support it. More precisely, my reservations were not so mueh about the Superferry itself as the high-handed manner in whieh the owners started doing business in Hawai'i. When I first heard the words "pushy haole" nearly 40 years ago, I had one of those proverbial "light-bulb moments," and certain changes started to eome about. To judge from the mueh smoother sailing the Superferry has had with the puhlie lately, perhaps a similar adjustment in attitude has occurred. Bill Brundage Kurtistown, Hawai'i lsland
