"Just think: my house used to sit where that parking deck is now."
...okay, anybody got knitting needles they can spare? I need to poke my eyes out...
OK, someone had to do it.
Govt can just put your property up on eBay, set the reserve at slightly higher than your current serf payments to them, and when the reserve is met, throw you out.
It's for the "greater good".
Now move it along and get yer skinny little can off that park bench before we have to give you a wood shampoo.

Not with a bang but a whimper.
This nation was built on the minds wills and hearts of some of the most amazing men and women to ever grace the face if this earth (to the extent i have the Declaration of Independence on my wall since I just cannot help but marvel at it). And it was always thought that the only way this country can be vanquished is by crushing it with a force so overwhelming that naught could stand before it, and not only that but the force would have to destroy all free-willed people in this country (since no true American, it was believed, would ever let their legacy be extinguished while they did nothing). I thought it would take a huge bang.
However the more I look at things the more I realize that if Ragnarok (from Norse mythology when the heavens are destroyed and the rule of the gods ended ....Ragnarok means 'destruction of powers' even though most popular translations say 'end of the gods') ever befalls the United States it will NOT be with a bang ....nope. It will be accompanied by a barely audible gasp ...a whimper ....as all that this great nation stood for is extinguished while the very people who stand to lose the most sit in situ and do nothing.
True, many will wag their tongues and 'tsk tsk' time away (as I am right now, even when it is way past my bedtime) ....but how many will even do something as simple as writing their congress rep? And the thing is many people think that as long as it doesn't affect them directly then they can afford to offer silent sympathy to those affected and then look away. The fallacy of such an approach is obvious ....it would be akin to a finger saying it doesn't care about an aching tooth because the pain afflicts the tooth and not the digit. The sad thing is that what affects the tooth affects the whole body, and thus affects the finger.

LOL!
Yeah, but nobody else had in-hand photos skipping around the back yard with which to digitally airbrush in Judge Ruth's head.
Hmmm,...well,... that's okay. I have some personal photos that I guess I'd prefer not to explain, too.
Freepers! It takes all kinds! ;0)
Ooops, sorry!
To be honest though, I weren't all that scared or judgemental about the pic when I thought it was you. But now that I seen the site,....scared and judgemental,...yep, that's what I'm thinking.
Anyway, if this Pixiedude is a conservative let's move him out to the left coast and bump Boxer or Pelosi out of their seats.
Thank you for such an eloquent, heartfelt and very APT reply, spetznaz. I think that citizens ARE awakening. What will show us just how much we are awakening will be the coming '06 midterm elections.......and, as Robert Frost said in "STOPPING BY WOODS" - we have "miles to go before we sleep."
Liberalism, socialism, creeping marxism must be defeated. America, as we knew it and want it to be, must have a true spiritual and intellectual renaissance.
God Bless America.
Thanks for your reply.
Sincerely,
Char :)
