Oh my goodness. I think a hooligan would be an improvement over an "obnoxious two faced jerk" or "predatory pervs" etc. Your nasty image of the people are in your own words and you still don't see it. It is like you have a complete disconnect from the people. People are generally good at behavior. There are exceptions of course but when you compare all the respectful beach user enjoyment over our entire human history I think you will find a very very very small fraction of the people disrespecting and misbehaving. I challenge you to find one disrespectful public beach user in even 10,000 public beach users. Please don't include the few bfo's who rant and rave about having to share the beach. It would skew the numbers 
Hmmm.....it’s what EVERY private property owner (or renter thereof) is GUARANTEED under the United States Constitution, rich or poor. You think that you have the right to use our property without permission because you believe you are morally superior.
Tell me if I missed something that doesn’t include your previous words:
selfishness
superior beliefs
power brokers
building blocking views or exclusive views
exclusion is what rich people want
disconnected from the people
not using your real name
individual power believes in their greatness over people
sharing the enjoyment
true greatness does not hide their identity
you believe in your greatness
attacking the people
people who hide their name
abuse of power
higher purpose
On and on.

I love social media. I am learning so much about humans every day. Mputnal avoided the whole point of my post. Of course. He didn't bother to answer a single one of the key questions. Instead deflected to a minor side comment about "predatory pervs". (Which btw, Sheriff's office will confirm there are some real creeps in our area. Who would be naive enough to think they never go to the beach? And, why is Watersound locked?) Mputnal just needs to have the last words. Tossed like a salad.
Also, I am completely fascinated to see who took these questions so personally.
Ask yourself why.
Add that to your Thanksgiving conversation.

You and "Surfer Dude" have already decided that, right? He addressed me as "kayti anonymous", so name calling is not reserved for the infidels. And I applaud people who have become rich, like restaurant owners who built their businesses from the ground up. And for the record, I've always wanted to be able to surf. But, hey' go ahead and have the last word. You're good at that, aren't you?
Think that was about the time that all the beachfront owners were scrambling to shore up the "cliffs" in front of their property and we had a commissioner with a seawall side business that was more than happy to push "permits" through without going through the state like they were supposed to.
Yes I think you missed
Welcome to the thread Alex! Is this your real name or a moniker?

Those power brokers intent on denying the public’s right to use and enjoy our beach as we have since time immemorial are determined to paint this as a private property rights issue. Customary use is not an attack against private property rights; it is an affirmation that regardless of ownership of the sand we all have a right to access, use and enjoy our shared coastal American border.
“No entity, regardless of ownership, may deny or exclude Americans or international visitors from freely and lawfully accessing and using our American beaches from the dune line to the mean high tide waterline.” These words should be all that is needed in a federal or state law.
Private property in the conventional sense, beyond our coastal borders is not in dispute. Reams of legal and layman’s arguments have been and are being written to paint non-beachfront owners’ use of our beaches as an attack on private property. It is not because our beaches are very different from conventional private property.
We all own private property and the law is clear on Americans’ right to preserve and protect their private property. That is rarely if ever in dispute. The reason this issue IS in dispute is because we have truly shared our beaches for centuries. The claim of exclusion on beaches, couched in private property rights arguments is a fairly recent development in American history.
We have a shared coastal heritage on our beaches. Clearly our coasts have value, as the closer one purchases to a beach the values are highest. The value and strength of coastal economies depend on the use of our beaches for all. For a finite group of citizens to claim exclusion of our beaches to the rest of all Americans is an affront to all non beachfront-owning Americans.
Those powerful and well-funded people wanting to change a balance that has existed a very, very long time bitterly claim their private property is being taken away. No. They purchased the convenience of being steps from the beach and the view. They can’t build on the sand and there is no tax assessments directly attached to that sand. It is not private property in the conventional sense as it applies to all other land that is private property.
No, this is not about private property, it is about excluding all of us from enjoying and using our most treasured and beloved beaches. Our beaches, the shifting sands of our common Coastal American heritage. Perhaps, besides it not being buildable or taxable, it could be argued that the sandy areas of our beaches may never be called “private” because the land they purchased is constantly on the move by tidal action, wind and storms. How can they claim ownership and exclusion on shifting sand they can’t contain?
Alex Miles I have been around a block or two with you power brokers. You are not asking questions for civil discussion, community feedback or anything positive. You have one point. One principle. One purpose here on this forum. This is about whether or not the beaches should be shared enjoyment or private enjoyment. Or as you put it exclusivity. All the other stuff is bravo sierra. I have offered more than a few times to sponsor a community gathering like a redneck fish fry and class it up with Reggie/Regina's favorite and vastly superior drink so those questions could be asked and answered by real people. Those questions coming from you and the other power brokers are nothing but a trap. You do not care about an answer for those questions. You hide your name. You post nothing but shame. It is your game. It is really lame. If you really want answers to those questions why not show up in person. I wonder if you would have the spinal fortitude to ask anyone if they are a two faced jerk or a predatory perv to their face. I wonder. Just something to think about at Thanksgiving
Kathryn, I am not sure what you mean. I have no judgement about you or anyone else. I might disagree with you. I might not understand you. But I do not judge you. I am a small business person and have been around the economic block or two. I understand how our economic system works and it is not working fairly or equally. Reggie/Regina even admits this. Elite wealth does not pay the same fraction of their income as you and I. Many have off shore bank accounts or take advantage of loop holes that are not available for you and I. I do not protest their wealth and I do not admire their wealth. I am too old. Too tired to care that much anymore. As long as they leave me alone I am good with their success. But now they are wanting private enjoyment of a unique and limited resource that has been shared since the beginning. They shame the people and type bold statements meant to drown out the little ant voices. Stand up for yourself...
