You would not BELIEVE it, but there's FReepers here that think this is no big deal...

Well, just wait and see what happens when every corrupt local government starts trampling on people's homes --- this is such a HUGE ISSUE relative to the OBSCENE AMOUNT OF POWER THIS GIVES to governments...this is very bad.

You notice don't you that none of the councilmen lived in the neighborhood they stole from the owners who live there.

They salve their conscience (if they have one) by saying the owners received fair compensation. Fair by who's standards? Who decides what is a fair compensation for a family's home?

I just see blood being shed over these actions before it is all over.

"this is very bad."

And the very worst part of it is... With the old status quo, we didn't really feel like we had to trust government not to bulldoze our bedroom! We had a constitutional leg to stand on... Now that leg has been amputated and thrown into Saddam's plastics shredder!!!

Now we really are "subjects" and "serfs" and really "slaves" to the BLEEPIN COMYOOOOOONUTTY!!! Now we're all in one big miserable tyrannical Home Owners ASSosiation with Bobbie Doolie as el Presidente!!!

Screw this!!! This sucks untreated canal water!!!

Has Bush come out to condemn this yet? What happened to his "Ownership Society"?

[Frank_Discussion]

Exactly... Of course, we're just chicken littles...
