13. When I lived in Miami in the 1990s

the company that I worked for for worked at the Ocean Reef Club on occasion. I went out there many times on business. The management and the owners were some of the most obnoxious people I have ever been in contact with. That place wrote the book on "exclusive." Exclusive to the extent of forbidding ownership of properties to minorities and non-Christians. Wealth has is privilege. I remember a story of a boater who had run out of fuel and drifted into their fueling dock. (a long way from any other facility) As I remember it they told him to get lost, they wouldn't take his money and fuel his boat; he was not a member.

They are the kind of people you would like to see busted down to the point that they would be happy to have Jim Rockford's trailer.
