Brush Battle Pits Rastafarian Against Tax Collector (Former Marine Fined $27K for Weed Removal)

You don’t like it but you’ll defend it? Like I said, the Founders would not recognize America.

I didn't defend it; I merely stated that it was clearly legal. If there are laws on the books we don't like, there is a process for getting them changed. If that distinction is too much for you to manage I suggest you get help.

Could you show me the enumerated power in the california state constitution that gives the state the power to regulate the type and density of brush as it pertains to fire safety?

I'm not going to bother. The reason is simple: there are several different ways under which it is legally justifiable, all of which are arguable. It could be under public safety, environmental protection, forestry management, insurance regulations... That means we could be here for days discussing what did or did not apply. I don't have time for that.

My original comment was not addressed to you. You didn't like what I said about the Founders and freedom so you post nonsense then tell ME "too much for you to manage I suggest you get help".

You need more help than I ever will.

Good day.

"...*The .223 or even the .17 works on the yotes...

I found a spent .17 (or more accurately .177, I think) round in my back yard last week. It is hard to think that tiny round would even kill a squirrel, it is so small.

But it is apparent that someone in my neighborhood is trying!

I had a rough time accumulating enough to pay property taxes this year. As soon as I had funds last Monday I tried to pay online, but the website didn't work.

Today, my daughter took a check to the tax collectors office.

My handwriting has become hard to read, and I print. I can't handle small print. I filled in the numbers, easy to read, when I wrote out the sum I ran short of space. I finished the line with numerals. It left no doubt, just unconventional.

The little government dimbletwit gave my daughter 10 minutes of crap, didn't want to accept the check. Mary got pretty puffed up and the dimbletwit backed down. It's a 30 mile round trip to the office.

Some people get their kicks abusing their power and a lot of them end up working for government. I called the bank, they said "no problem"

When you pay online they charge a $35.00 "convenience fee". It would be worth that to avoid having to deal with the bastards, but the website doesn't work!

Anyone wha tries to justify the amount of government, at all levels, we are saddled with is an idiot. Anarchy couldn't be worse!

It doesn't matter, if they can do it to him they can do it to you!

I don't fit in to the suburbs. I bought 5 acres of land so I could be left to Hell alone. Now they're catching up, but I WAS HERE FIRST!

The only planted grass on this land is on top of the drainfields. The rest of it is 100% Florida.
