Isn't this a beautiful, unspoiled place?  It's called Captain Sam's Spit, on Kiawah Island, SC.  It's enjoyed by people, turtles, birds and is the only location known where dolphins strand feed.  Sounds like a place that should be preserved, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, this precious piece of sand is now in limbo.  "Big Money" folks are trying to build McMansions on it, accessing it and ruining it by building a road straight through Beachwalker Park's parking lot and board walk.  The state of SC court system has gone back and forth with approval of this project.  Pray that this little piece of natural heaven is preserved.
As Dr. Suess says in his story of abuse of power, Yertle the Turtle,
"Then again, from below, in the great heavy stack, came a groan from that plain little turtle named Mack.  Your majesty, please....I don't like to complain, but down here below, we are feeling great pain.  I know, up on top you are seeing great sights, but down at the bottom we, too, should have rights."
