A war I never heard of.
They have been fought over less.
A windfall for lawyers I am dure.
Odd that a lake is a person now and has rights, but a baby isn’t and can be murdered on a whim.
I liked America better when it was in God we trusted...
Those human “blobs of cells” still haven’t been granted personhood rights.
Can I now legally marry Lake Erie?
Summary of the environmentalist movement written 2000 years ago, coming into very plain sight now:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
What the stupid law says is that anyone with an opinion can claim to “represent” Lake Erie, JUST because they have an opinion.
If that’s what they want, I suggest all the commercial interests that use the lake suggest in counter suits that THEY “represent” the lake, as surely it is the “natural right of the lake” to host navigation commensurate with its means to do so.
Not a single shot was actually fired in the Toledo War.
The only casualty was a guy who got stabbed.
The Michigan Militia did occupy Toledo, but the Ohio Militia got bogged down in a swamp near Bowling Green. Before they could make their way out Andrew Jackson had fired Michigan’s territorial governor and Congress was working on a fix.
