"Because we are a nation of cowards."
I don't believe that for a minute. What we are is not organized.
Then let's GET organized.
What irritates me to no end is some of our national "leaders" alleged Conservatives, have set squat about this issue. The Rank and file have talked about almost nothing else since the ruling came out. But our leaders? Mum
Here in Dallas, a portion of land containing 140 or so homes is being taken to build the new DALLAS COWBOYS STADIUM. A homeowner of 40 years is planning to chain himself to the tree in his front yard, a way of protesting his loss, when the bulldozers come.
This is the way I think we should handle this. I plan on boycotting the Dallas Cowboys, no stadium tickets, no watching of the TV games, no buying of the Cowboy's paraphenalia or whatever that concerns the Cowboys. This may be tougher on someone else, someone who loves football, but I will have no problem whatsoever. Will the rest of you guys do the same?? I think it would be an excellent way to get the point across!!!

Politics makes strange bedfellows.
Recall how, during the initial organization of labor in the US, the tactics of the management forced labor into the camp of La Cosa Nostra simply so they could compete on the same playing field.
Now envision 1000's of little zoning commissions behaving like Child-Protective-Services-on-Steriods.
The possibility of this turning ugly is very real.
