This will be noticed in Florida too. There is a case right now of several businesses in Daytona Beach who don't want to sell their property to a developer. The developer(s) took the owners to court to make them sell. The judge's decision hadn't been handed down as of last night. Probably, it will today, and we know how he will decide.

There are ranches and groves in our area that have been pressured to sell for development (they are paving over Florida with developments). These ranches/groves have been in families for generations. Now, they will probably go "for the better of the community" -- read to line the pockets of developers.

What can be done about this travesty of a decision? Will it take a law from Congress to over-ride it? To get Congress to work together, how about a developer saying the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port should be turned into a golf course "for the betterment of the entire community"?

What can be done about this travesty of a decision?

Any resistance by homeowners who are directly threatened by this, such as those in CT, I have no doubt they'll be labeled "kooks" or possibly even "terrorists". There is nothing that can be done right now.

What can be done over the long haul, is to put actual Conservatives in Congress, and in the White House. Right now we have mostly pretenders, but nobody wants to risk losing an "R" in either the House or the Senate by splitting the vote between a liberal Republican and a Conservative.
