Before surfers and friends celebrate their victory over venture capitalist Vinod Khosla regarding access to Martin's Beach through his land, they would do well to consider the following: now that the Governor has chimed in, threatening the use of eminent domain, what we have is the State controlling and/or taking someone's private property. Recall that the function of our government is to protect our freedom, lives and property. So the government should have stood firmly behind Vinod Khosla and his right to use and control his own property as he sees fit.
