According to the Press Democrat, the California State Parks are planning to charge $8 a day to use the state beaches in Northern California. This will screen out the those with part-time jobs, children on welfare, the riff-raff and what is sometimes referred to as "the element." (You might not be familiar with "the element;" it is a polite reference to black people like Halle Berry and Barack Obama.)

A recent study has shown that roughly 1% of the people in this country are clinical psychopaths and that about 10% of the people who work on Wall Street fall into this category. You might not be astonished to learn that a system built on greed pushes psychopaths to the top, but I have to wonder where state leaders fit on the chart. My guess is that about 40% are psychopaths intent on keeping the state beaches open for the elite. As our climate changes, the poor can learn to play in the crumbling inland streets.
