Militias, may have replied to YAF: "Standing armies have no place
on American soil..." Granted, times have changed from the days of
British mercenaries, no doubt. But the point here is, that "loathing
for the military" is rooted in the Founders, and very American. As
American as Southern Apple Pie, and the Militia movement. Clinton was
right, and YAF wrong. YAF continues:
"...you're a Bolsa Chica fanatic. I'll
bet you live in Huntington Harbor or on the bluffs above Bolsa Chica..."
Plato distinguishes between forms of government:
rule of the one, few and many. Democracy, the rule of the many, degrades
into what might be called "mob democracy" when everyone pulls
for their own self interest, instead of realizing that our interests are
common. Where ever we live, Bolsa Chica belongs to us, just as the mountains,
valleys, and other majestic treasures are given to us as stewards. This
doctrine goes way back: we can buy land, but only if we use it as permitted
by the sovereign power -- in our case, the American People. The waters
of the U.S. -- that's US. That's purchase "in fee simple" (a
fiefdom is a medieval grant), which can be regulated (by zoning and other
laws) and environmental regulations, and revoked by "eminent domain".
Hence, "this land is your land..." no matter where you happen
to live. Bolsa Chica is a treasure for all.
Some have wondered if the real meaning of
"YAF" was "Young Americans for Fascism".
