Semmen’s [Satire]-tagged posts are always labeled Semi-news/Semi-Satire for a reason: they are always hyperbolic reports of actual news with words put into the mouths of actors to make the outrage of their outrageous positions or actions more humorous or obvious. In this case, there is real eminent domain abuse going on in Philadelphia, and the real story without satiric embellishment is in one of the posts just down from the thread-starter and is quite outrageous.
As an old Penn man (Grad A&S ‘84), with a fondness for West Philly where my first apartment after leaving college was, I signed the petition. I encourage you to do so as well.
Okay, thanks.
I live in Maryland, so I don’t know what good my signature will do, but I will sign.
Thank you, TRD — go Quakers!
