For one thing, I'm not in favor a a border wall. Secondly, did I say anything about boycotting a business? I still use the USPS when I send out Christmas cards. And I even rode on AmTrack once.
And parks, police, fire dept, library, roads, ..........

DanaMarie, yes we do agree on something :) Probably on many things! I do not disrespect your opinions and your beliefs. I think this thread was hoping to create a divide between us. Many words being tossed around like socialist and capitalist are used in political theater to divide people. We should resist being divided because it makes it just too easy for those who abuse power. Think of power like an entitlement. Think of who benefits most from entitlements. Who holds the most power from entitlements like tax breaks, tax loop holes, corporate welfare etc.? Not the working class. Not the middle class. I am not a socialist and hope that we all wake up before there it is too late. I assume that you and I are both registered republicans but I do not let anyone speak for me not even my party. I am very disappointed in my party. Actually neither party has represented the middle class for a long time IMO. My only message about politics is to think for yourself and have a voice.

Post 2101 “The Middle Class and the Working Class is the back bone of this Country and you are doing your best to break it by hoarding resources like the coastal sandy beach.”

This is not a “hoarding” issue of the sandy beach. There are many parcels available for purchase today which include deeded property boundaries from the toe of the dune to the MWHL.

Why is there such a huge push back from BPO in a court case costing an estimated $50,000,000 (although the Plaintiff filed a lawsuit claiming it is “without dispute”)?

Because the BCC is trying to TAKE (acquire without expense against the will of the property owner – AKA stealing) exclusive control of the “right to exclude” from the private property owner for the exclusive control of the BCC for their financial gain. They are trying "own" without buying.

You personally can purchase “dry sandy beach” today and donate it to the BCC for them to manage, or the BCC can purchase, or the State can purchase and turn it into a State Park (which would be much better than the BCC).

Just don’t try to STEAL it (AKA redistribution of resources)

Yep, I'm in favor of those things too. I also supported the purchase of Camp Helen by the state. Capitalism doesn't mean privatizing everything. Funny that you mentioned the police though. Law enforcement seems to be a target of the socialists these days.

Suing their a$$!
Yeah. Lawsuits tend to cause division.

Am, I thought you wanted due process? Now you say you don't!?! I also think you are the one who said that the sandy beach is not Realestate right? The solid ground underneath is used how again? So what a$$ are you talking about? Maybe your unhappiness is misplaced. Talk to your representatives.

I don’t believe this thread was started in order to create division. I believe it was intended to foster conversation, which it has. I believe it was intended to provide a voice to both sides of the customary use issue. And it has. As for division, you say that words such as “socialist” and “capitalist” are used in order to divide people. But what about words like “elite wealth”, “power broker” and “abuse of power”? Or telling people that they can’t handle the truth or don’t want to know the truth, just because their opinion is different than yours? Or saying that those who want to exercise their private property rights, or believe in another’s ability to do so, are thinking with their money, abuse power, have elite wealth, don’t have anyone’s best interests in mind other than their own, believe in their greatness, etc… I could go on. Aren’t those statements divisive?

I personally don’t have any power to abuse. I don’t have elite wealth. I do have other’s best interests in mind above my own. And that is exactly why I don’t support customary use. I don’t own beachfront, but I believe in the beachfront owners’ right to private property.
