“So do you think we all should just give ourselves squatters rights to whatever chunk of federal land we’d like—I’d rather fancy the Lincoln Memorial—and call in a ‘militia’ to defend our claim?”
My town has 10 miles of clean, flat sandy beach on the Pacific Ocean.
I’d just like about an acre or two, and the rest of you can argue over when you get to use yours, for how much in fees, etc.
But I want mine, because I’ve been here since 1968. Oh. My grandfather was a cowboy (true), beachboy (not true), so laws, regulations, fees don’t apply to me.
Ooh—good idea! I think I’d like Assateague Island—and a few of those adorable ponies, too.
All I’d need would be a free, permanent lease, mind you.
