Then I take it that you favor the privatization of that public property. Or do you instead expect to alter human nature? Bribing public officials to secure an advantage in their management of public property is SOP. It has always happened and it always will. The officials have control which is of no value to them unless they can use it to get payolla and corruption deals from the private parties that have a potential commercial use of that public property. They're just doing what comes naturally. >People routinely get beaten and murdered by the fascist State for the >audacity of living -- squatting -- on public lands that by rights are >supposed to be the property of all the people. If that land is the property of all the people, how do you justify appropriating any of it to your own private use as a squatter? Whatever you squat on is no longer available for the rest of the public to use. Or are you just unhappy about not having as much money for bribery as the timber and resort companies?
