"It is from the heart."

Guys, A heart of gold, and just as cold. Especially when it comes to the rights of others. Peace and love, George.

"Caroline Getty is deeply committed to land conservation,"

Yes we must conserve the land so that the peasants don't use it! Neo-feudalism is just bustin' out all over ain't it?

Thanks for the ping ES.

My Mother is visiting CA and mentioned she would visit the Getty Museum.
I’m assuming it’s connected.

The King's Woods must be protected at all costs! No hunting or anything else unless you are part of the ruling elite. If the bi-otch cares so much, she should pay ALL the costs of their "conservation" efforts. But no, of course not, she just puts down some seed money to promote the campaign to let we peasants pay for it.

I am really getting tired of people trying to pull up the drawbridge of success behind them after they "have theirs." Kennedys, Rockefellers, Gettys, all the same. They are NOT capitalists! So many children of successful people want to use their money to change the rules to prevent us from doing the very things that their successful ancestors did to strike it rich.

When King John and the Sherriff of Nottingham become too oppressive, Robin Hood will appear once again.

Thanks for the ping, these sneaky hypocritical trust fund babies don't know a damn thing about what it takes to make it today. I don't resent their wealth because I am working on becoming rich myself one day. I do resent what they are using their wealth for - to restrict what I do.

If enviralist whackos had been in charge many years ago, the lives and the names of Getty, Rockefeller, and Kennedy would be meaningless today.
