I second what ibu70 says. It is a free country Jeff. A free country. You do not in any way own the island. People have the right to live whereever they want to live, on island or on mainland. You can move to any desert where population growth is not a deal there. Your words raise hate and racism among the islanders. Just a reminder that the native Vashonian are the S'Homamish, Salish and Marpole people. Do you belong to any dude?! 

Shame on Beachcomber to publish such words.
