Meet one such yuppie:
"Waging her battle with money, she said, means she doesn't
have to argue with people about her philosophy of protecting
the land."
Yeah, that's what Breen thought, too.

I suspect, though, that her appreciation and exercise of the
power of property rights is strictly an act of last resort.
If RESTORE could convince a majority to steal the land for
their interests, they'd do it in a heartbeat.
Let's hope that no ironies, no matter how delicious I'd find
them, befall her or her property.
