Now Really. Who is surprised at any of this?

[rktman]

Yup. The guy from the TV series “Mountain Men”.

[txrefugee]

Think of this man and too many like him the next time you hear someone yodeling the last lines of the National Anthem. “The land of the free and the home of the brave” is no longer the USA.

From the time your Daylight Savings Time alarm goes off in the morning until you use your low-flow toilet and shower at night, the government controls your living in this country. And you pay more to these rulers than serfs ever paid to their lords....but the sheeple are ordered not to complain lest it be a “threat” to someone in government.

[rktman]

Anytime you expose yourself, as a lot of these people have done in the name of “reality” tv, the powers that be WILL take notice and pay you a visit. Just like “Gold Rush”, “Bearing Sea Gold”, etc. No doubt the folks in Tannana, AK will be getting a visit before too long. (Yukon Men). All of a sudden the DNR or OSHA or epa or some other intrusive govt agency will show up to determine if you are “in compliance” with some obscure rule or regulation. Simple rule, don’t draw attention to yourself, keep your mouth shut, dig all night.

The Watauga County Planning Department in North Carolina has found...

Well there's your problem!

What were these people doing on his property in the first place?

[illiac]

Working with building and planning departments a a regular basis and this does not surprise me. What I have garnered through the years is that it all depends on who you are as to how much you can get away with.

We have several large developers in our area, and they run roughshod over building and planning. If I were a prospective buyer of these properties and they knew what they should know, our real estate market would be dead....

Turtle Island?????
Sounds like a page from the “WILDLANDS PROJECT”!
I’m suspicious of old Eustace and his motives.
Just saying hey, look this one over really good.
North Carolina is pretty far down the slope when it comes to personal property rights.
Left and haven’t missed the corrupt place one bit.

[Dr. Sivana]

The rugged outdoorsman who has been dubbed the 'Last American Man' is facing a government shutdown of his camp in the Appalachian Mountains for not adhering to building codes

He's been there for 30 years and there's no be grandfathered in?

I can't speak of North Carolina, but I can speak of sections of Hitt Street in Columbia, MO, and the Chinese owned rooming house I lived in. It wasn't up to code, but it was CHEAP. Or, perhaps try, say, 47th street WEST of Cottage Grove in Chicago, just a coupla miles from Bammy's Kenwood Crib. Pick a few tenements at random. The Mountain Man will come out looking better, I guarantee you.

The difference to the hundreds of Obamavilles all across the US?

This guy actually owns the property he lives on. Hence he must be punished.
