What if all the outrage that's developed over the past few days were directed, focused, and concentrated on the perpertrators of these wanton acts of legalized theft that have been going on for longer than most of us realize?
That is, shine a bright light on the corporations, real estate developers, lenders, leasing agents, and particularly government employees ("economic development specialists") who have conspired to separate landowners from their homes, businesses and underdeveloped property.
These are people who should have to answer for their transgressions against the Constitution and against their fellow citizens. Their names must be made public in letters-to-the-editor, on the Web, at meetings of homeowners associations and service clubs, in church if it's allowed.
The fact the Supreme Court has ruled cities can get away with this doesn't make it right. Most citizens -- even those living in Blue Zones -- will agree it's entirely wrong to take someone's property for another's benefit.
We need to start a nationwide boycott of all businesses involved and recall or otherwise remove from office any elected officials who vote to authorize government-sponsored land redistribution.
Impossible, you say?
More likely to have a positive outcome than threatening to condemn a house in New Hampshire.
What has been going on is wrong. What the justices did on the 23rd, is give official sanctions, to what has been going on. Don't tell me that the SCOTUS is so stupid that they really think its ok for local government to ED someone's property and give it to developers.
And this is, short of the second amendments, the most appropriate way to show the SCOTUS how criminal and stupid there decision was.
And if it goes nowhere, well - at the least, it felt good pulling my masters chain for a bit!
