I was little miffed over something else when I made that post. But some points for you to consider. If I did own the sand to the high tide mark I would be just as tenacious about keeping folks off of it. Not because I am an A$$hole ( which is debated regularly among those than know me) but because we live in a litigious society. If I own it, I am responsible for what happens on it. Something bad happens to somebody, even due to their own foolishness and irresponsibility, they still want to sue. And with juries, you NEVER know what will happen. Does McDonalds and hot coffee ring a bell?

Secondly, there is the "I got mine syndrome". I am sure it comes into play with beach property just as it does here on the lake. What I mean is there are some folks that once they acquire their dream, all future development and progress should immediately STOP!! No more condo's, no new subdivisions, no more this or that, and as we have seen lately, certainly no more industry. These folks want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor (or inheritance) and look down on all the 'other' people.

There is a lot more property and people off the lake in this county than on it, but some of the ones on the lake would rather these people not have opportunities to better their station in life with good manufacturing jobs. Those folks are only supposed to be around to serve them when they decide to go out to eat or buy groceries, etc. New industry MIGHT pollute the lake and that is unacceptable. Russell has done it but that is OK, he 'gives back' to the lake.

OK, I will step down off my soapbox now.
