Pingaroonie!
you betcha!
the supreme court communist 5 are going to regret this decision.
it's big news all over. homeowners feel threatened. elderly feel threatened.
If President Bush would actually stand properly in his office....this ruling does NOT make it law...the executive office can disregard it totally when it DOES NOT line up with our ORGANIC CONSTITUTION....
More barf - this time from my home. Surprised me Baltimore celebrating this wasn't the 1st headline I saw on this forum!
I am sick of this BS - repeated on the Pittsburgh paper - that "it'll create jobs". So that makes it right to take away the most fundamental natural right any1 has? To have possession of something and be able to do w/it as he wishes?
But oh no, in this selfish Marxist society hand-wringing so much about employment rates not being less than 2%, the "needs of the many" (jobs!) outweigh the *rights* of the few (owners).
Jay Brodie is a socialist pig. Having him discuss this ruling is like asking Hannibal Lecter for an objective discussion of the merits of cannibalism.
By the time of Henry II, the system of law in England had been improved because Henry sent out his own judges from London to listen to cases throughout all England’s counties. Each accused person had to go through an ordeal. There were three ordeals:
* Ordeal by fire. An accused person held a red hot iron bar and walked three paces. His hand was then bandaged and left for three days. If the wound was getting better after three days, you were innocent. If the wound had clearly not got any better, you were guilty.
* Ordeal by water. An accused person was tied up and thrown into water. If you floated you were guilty of the crime you were accused of.
* Ordeal by combat. This was used by noblemen who had been accused of something. They would fight in combat with their accuser. Whoever won was right. Whoever lost was usually dead at the end of the fight.
In 1215, the Pope decided that priests in England must not help with ordeals. As a result, ordeals were replaced by trials by juries. To start with, these were not popular with the people as they felt that their neighbours might have a grudge against them and use the opportunity of a trial to get their revenge. After 1275, a law was introduced which allowed people to be tortured if they refused to go to trial before a jury.
If you were found guilty of a crime you would expect to face a severe punishment. Thieves had their hands cut off. Women who committed murder were strangled and then burnt. People who illegally hunted in royal parks had their ears cut off and high treason was punishable by being hung, drawn and quartered. There were very few prisons as they cost money and local communities were not prepared to pay for their upkeep. It was cheaper to execute someone for bad crimes or mutilate them and then let them go.
Most towns had a gibbet just outside of it. People were hung on these and their bodies left to rot over the weeks as a warning to others. However, such violent punishments clearly did not put off people. In 1202, the city of Lincoln had 114 murders, 89 violent robberies and 65 people were wounded in fights. Only 2 people were executed for these crimes and it can be concluded that many in Lincoln got away with their crime.
Has anyone seen the pictures of the houses that are being stolen in Conneticut? They are certainly not blighted.

Aren't you just "renting" it.?.
Must be WHY.. currency is/are called "BILLS"...
Socialism is, so weak, in so many ways, they are past counting them..
Socialism is indeed a social disease.. usually caused by "A" democracy by the way..
Few know the difference in meaning between the words, "A" democracy and democratic..
So much so that "democratic republic" which is redundant must be used by some to express what the United States "IS".. instead of just saying its a "republic"..
A republic is democratic or it wouldn't even be a republic..
A Banana Republic is not a republic at all.. it's a democracy.. meaning all powerful federal gov't with weak states(provinces) as vassals(branches).. when a real republic is powerful states with a weak federal gov't.. as a vassal(ombudsman/agent).. as the U.S. Constitution states..
The american people have been dumbed down so greatly. They can't even understand anymore what the Constitution says.. or appreciate the genius of it.. or even KNOW the United States Constitution is unique among any gov't that ever existed to this day.. They don't even the difference between "actual RIGHTS" and gov't granted privileges.. No country on earth has ever had any "rights" but instead gov't granted privileges... except the United States.. Much to the chagrin of Urp'ean countrys.. whom only have gov't granted privileges.. and much more primitive gov'ts.. "democracys"..
Three words are not present in the U.S. Constitution at all, anywhere.. ON PURPOSE..
1) democracy...
2) democratic...
3) democrat... did I say "on purpose".. Ah! yes I did..
This is not taught in american schools, even Universitys..
ON PURPOSE...
I guess that's the role of guvment...as opposed to protecting individual liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Jefferson would be taking inventory in the armory about right now.
