Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen wipes out coral reef with his superyacht

I don’t know why I never get these memos.

From the website:

Some say it's the island's ultra-exclusive status; others credit its natural beauty. No matter the reason, everyone agrees that Figure Eight Island is special spot that inspires intrigue, mystique, and a touch of envy.

Pardon me, I just became a little ill. And not just b/c I’m reminded of South Florida’s delightfully horrible “gated communities” (hey, Parkland, how are you this fine wealthy evening?), as well as the sad ostentation of the South Florida intracoastal drunk scene. A dirty brackish sea of bad tattoos wearing sailor caps who park their rental boat at Shooters or Hooters to sip lukewarm $7/can Bud Light by the glare of their sunburns and unpolarized sunglasses. Blech.

Senator Edwards was a member. That’s probably not changing your reaction, is it?
