So with what is Daryl Hannah standing in "solidarity?" With the proposition that if someone moves onto your land and squats there, and if you don't immediately summon the cops and have him evicted, but rather make the mistake of letting him stay for a few years while you get the land ready for sale -- then the squatter now owns that land, even if you told him all along that he had only temporary permission to stay.

This actually is the law in Costa Rica. I think it's six months of squatting gives you legal ownership. It supports two cottage industries, one squatting for profit and the other running squatters off. This is true. Maybe they just got confused as to what country they were in.
