toot toot for new King Canute

Hey, maybe I’d make a good journalist after all. I thought of King Canute halfway through this article. He was the old king of England famous for demanding that the tide go out. (actually, everybody gets the story wrong; not only was he a Viking, he did the thing with the tides to show his fawning courtiers that their flattery was too much).

Anyway, now we have King Obama, having his Royal Fit ... and he’s closed off the ocean as part of it. Because he is that omnipotent.

right.

Just before the weekend, the National Park Service informed charter boat captains in Florida that the Florida Bay was “closed” due to the shutdown. Until government funding is restored, the fishing boats are prohibited from taking anglers into 1,100 square-miles of open ocean. Fishing is also prohibited at Biscayne National Park during the shutdown.

The Park Service will also have rangers on duty to police the ban… of access to an ocean. The government will probably use more personnel and spend more resources to attempt to close the ocean, than it would in its normal course of business.

This is governing by temper-tantrum. It is on par with the government’s ham-fisted attempts to close the DC WWII Memorial, an open-air public monument that is normally accessible 24 hours a day. By accessible I mean, you walk up to it. When you have finished reflecting, you then walk away from it.

At least that Memorial is an actual structure, with some kind of perimeter that can be fenced off. Florida Bay is the ocean. How, pray tell, do you “close” 1,100 square miles of ocean? Why would one even need to do so?

Apparently, according to an anonymous Park Service ranger, “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”

Maybe it’s high time (or high tide?) that We the People remembered what “federally owned” actually means ... it means owned by the People. Us. We. No, up until now we haven’t bothered tipping over the folly that this was somehow different from “public” lands, also owned by the government, but somehow “allowed” for us mere proles to use. But there is no difference. Sure, military bases, CIA headquarters, etc. Don’t be a moron. But parks? War memorials? The damn bay in Florida? HELLO, MR. ALARM CLOCK IS RINGING!!

Wake up, stupids. It’s all ours.

All federal land belongs to all the citizens. Especially the parks, forests, beaches, lakes, rivers, and OCEANS. Get out there and use them. Happily, peacefully, laughingly. But use them, yellow tape or no. Barricades are for walking around.

Fuck this pissy little vajayjay and his team of raisin face crones. They’ve vajazzled themselves right off the edge this time, into total un-respectable laughing stocks.

Close the ocean! The God King is mad!!!  Pppfffft. yeah, got that one right.  BS.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
