”"End period..."

I'm not so sure. The government has to pay for the property, first of all, and when they zone for businesses, those businesses require workers. Some places are just zoned wrong, filled with section-8 housing, crime-ridden, etc. So long as it is used sparingly and intelligently, it can be a good thing.

Unbelievable but I found a freeper that likes the ruleing, post number 8. Been a freeper Since Mar 17, 2004

mudblood read article five of the Constitution please.

I floated right by this poster. I don't think he understands the reason the founders covered this to begin with. The rights you are willing to give up are the rights you will never regain until you have no rights at all.

Without rights to protect us from oppressive government, we would become surfs, slaves, etc. at the mercy of a government no different from that of Saddam, Stalin, and others who demands unchallenged control of their country and their people.

What would this person think about rights if the one in question was the right to vote? Some people are willing to give up rights they believe do not directly affect them and only clamor when it does. That is when they scream for help and fear for what they will lose.

Very selfish attitudes in a me first society unwilling to care or fight for all rights guaranteed by our founders because they do not understand their rights.

Most people have never read the Constitution, or any other founding documents that give us our freedom. God help us from this type or ignorance for it will destroy us.

Artile 5 only seems to deal with the ratification of new ammendments and changes to the constitution. I didn't see anything about emmenent domain. If you are saying that the supreme court shouldn't be inventing laws, I agree, but it seems all they did was uphold the right of city governments and not the federal government to determine when it is necessary. They didn't make any new laws. I'm not terrified of this ruling - I'm not about to head for the hills.
And yep, been a freeper since last year. I don't agree with everything I read here. But on other things, like abortion, I've actually switched my original opinions. Regarding abortion, I'm now thoroughly against it where I used to think it was perfectly fine. Same thing with "assault weapons" - I now know this is simply the dems' way of spreading fear and gaining more power. I could go on. Convince me how this ruling is bad for America. I believe in trusting our government, for the most part, and changing the things we don't like.
