Has this Priest never heard of the commandment: "Thou shalt not covet?"
If there is any Freeping to be done--it should be directed against this Christian. He may have more of a conscience than does a politician.
Conscience? This is NJ. We have gone so far past pathetic....I don't even have the capacity for sarcasm to laugh it off.
In principle, I must oppose this Eminent Domain action, but if you can't read between the lines at what the real motivation is:
Tam opened up his bar next door to a school, which had been there since 1872. He offers "lunchtime drink specials," aimed at the construction crews he work at the school! When the crews screwed up and built the school field seven yards too short, Tam refused to sell some excess garage space.
Now the city doesn't just want to acquire the extra seven yards, they want the whole property. Can you think of what interest the CITY might have in forcing a BAR that specializes in serving ALCOHOL for LUNCH to relocate away from a HIGH SCHOOL?
Don't condemn the priest. His school's field is just a pretext.
