My first house was seized to make room for a park bathroom and parking lot. I despise government with a red hot passion. All because a city council member didn’t want to have to look at our houses from the river walk. That was my first experience with how corrupt and filthy any one in government becomes.
When i was a kid our friend’s house was seized to build a highway interchange that never happened. Fifty years later, the house still sits there, abandoned.
I decided, back then, that government should not be trusted with too much power.
