Trying to get laptop back up to speed. Had to reinstall mail program and open office and delete a lot of unwanted stuff.

People who just can’t let go.
That was my thought for the morning. Then I spent three hours going through DNR files. The operant rule seems to be that public records are made up of information provided BY the public; not records produced by public servants to validate their performance. So, for example, follow-up reports tend to be missing.

The presumption of probity is inappropriately applied to corporate entities, which are organized for the expressed purpose of avoiding individual risk and liability. SCOTUS needs to correct. A corporate body is by definition not an individual.

Going to collect documents from DNR

As an abuttor to the subject property, I certainly hope the decision is appealed. Glynn County’s cavalier attitude towards providing public notice needs to be challenged at every opportunity.
The DNR conditions its permits one a certification from local governmental agents that a proposed project does not conflict with local regulations. Simply doing away with local regulations to remove a conflict is not a proper response. Rather, it is evidence of frivolous and/or capricious decision-making.
Perhaps a deprivation of rights suit is in order.
While some people might argue that having waves crashing on the edge of one’s property instead of being protected by dunes is an improvement. I do not think so. Waves crashing on my horizon are not reassuring.

Comment on the FB post:
Sidney Lanier Oddly, rejection is necessary for a matter to proceed through the court system. Most challenges to local governments are dismissed, in part because we do not have a robust history of case law that supports citizen initiatives. In zoning law, most of the emphasis has been on preventing loss to individual property rights. Also oddly, that precedent is actually going to be beneficial when the migrants’ challenge to the arbitrary taking of their children works its way through the courts. As it stands now, the law says that if parents are to be deprived of their children, they must be provided legal advise, if they cannot afford to hire their own. That our Constitutional provisions apply equally to citizens and other nationals is a persistent burr under the saddle of segregationists‘ keen desire to be somehow special and enjoy status they have done nothing to earn. “Exclusive” is the new term. Exclusion was always the objective. When the behavior is observed in other species, it is called “teritoriality” as if birdbrains had a sense of geography.

Excluding the public is what the Sea Island Corporation is about. It is what they expect them to provide effortless income. Never mind that Exclusive Resorts is pandering to the mindless hoi poloi all over the globe that’s going to be impressed by experiencing the lives of the semi rich for a day, a week or a month.

If reciprocity and gregarious behavior are basic to social creatures, then exclusivity and rejection would seem to be aberrant. But, what is the cause?

Abortion is a spontaneous natural response to about 50% of all successful inseminations before or shortly after implantation. The effort to impose legal restrictions on a natural process is basically dishonest, as are all proposals to affect a result by targeting the wrong cause.
Why promise something that cannot be accomplished by law? You’ll have to ask the legislators that. Maybe because it’s easier than actually providing for the general welfare?

The name of the giant swamp in the southeast corner of Georgia, Okefenokee, is generally interpreted to mean “land of trembling earth” because of the unstable substrate upon which the watery woodlands and marshes rest. Thousands of years of accumulated muck. Further north, that same muck is mostly submerged under tidal waters and marshes from which islands of swampland rise as the so-called Golden Isles. Some have even captured enough sand to reach a height of twenty feet above the sea. The ground water table can be found at about five and at seven feet pine trees grow just fine.
