I have lived in Marin off and on for the past twenty five years. Marin is indeed populated by transplants. And yes, most have benefited greatly from the capitalist system yet it is very fashionable here to speak out against that which has made their lives comfortable beyond compare. Many moved here with mommy and daddies money in hand via trust fund or inheritance. Many others are flower children who just happened to “get lucky” in the arts (think rock band) or other similar professions. I have lived all over the world and can say without a doubt that the people of Marin think quite highly of their rights but very little about their responsibilities, such as military service. That is something very much beneath them as the self centered nature of the “me” generation is very much on display. Bravo Sgt. Eck!!
