This is My 53 acres on the Beach
Vinod Khosla is being attacked for managing his personal property in a fashion completely consistent with the law of the land.
Khosla, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, paid $37.5 million in 2008 for a 53-acre tract of ocean land that includes the beach and the road. He then chose to close the beach gate, posting armed guards and signaling that he was prepared to spend what is required to keep the public off of his private land.
We all know that much of the American public litters and and makes messes they do not clean up on private property all the time, but this does not stop the poor hippies with no personal initiative to scream that their rights are being trampled on by preventing their access to what they perceive to be their beach.
Maybe if you long haired, dope smoking, counterculture types had expanded your vocabulary beyond cool and far out man, you could have afforded to purchase that beach property yourself. Personal property is the way the world turns. Live with it or move to country who cares what you think.
