kind of makes you wanna puke, don't it?

Sure does.
This whole business can be undone with jury nullification.
Instead of puking, how 'bout fighting! Don't you think it's time yet or shall we wait until we are all in some stockade.
And so it begins!
Frightening.
If this continues un-abated and un-challenged, the War on Terror is going to be just a distant blip on the radar.
Private property rights- a worthy hill to die on.
Anybody out there still think the next few SCOTUS nominations aren't important?
It makes me ill. Just who will be using these private marinas?
Is there any way that a class action suite could be brought against this court desision on behalf of every property owner, including all future property owners?
Now we get to find out whose city offficials are enlightened and which skipped ethics class.
The trend on much of the private development projects are for malls, restaurants, hotels, and other retail like , consumer oriented business. The wishful thinking is that this retail trade will somehow revitalize a depressed area. Yeah right! Just like the next shot of Heroin revitalizes the drug addict. come back a few years later and many of the developments are doing poorly. To revitalize, you need real industry, production, and entrepreneurship. The retail developers make their quick profit, and the town is left holding the empty dime bag when the still depressed economy can't support all this extra retail business. Town officials are not businessmen, they are usually public employees or town politicos, the developers steal their shirts then get outta dodge. This is not worth giving up our liberty for.
The toothpaste is out of the tube. Sooner or later these slick politicians will try to confiscate the wrong guy's property. Sooner or later... sooner or later.
And if that guy gets caught and arrested for defending his property, and I am on that guy's jury? There will not be any conviction, period. I don't care what he did.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
I consider it immoral to steal private property for the so-called public good of someone making more money out of said property.
Apparently 5 fiends who wear black robes are intent on turning all the rules inside out.
I won't ping any more articles about this, I figured this was representative.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
Note: My only hope is that with decisions this insane, this evil, this obviously fascistic and anti- Constitutional, that more people will wake up, more people will decide "enough is enough" and do something. What, is the question.
Wow, another Democratic City in Texas.
Libertarian ping.To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message hereMr. Hiram Walker Royall is a rich man. A very, very rich man. 34-year-old Walker is the heir to two family fortunes:
- The Hiram Walker whiskey distilleries, and
- The Humble Oil Company (now ExxonMobil).
He boasted to his friends in high school that he inherited $16 million through his trust fund on his 18th birthday. He now lives in Dallas in this $1.25 million dollar home.

Walker drives a $67,500 BMW 850 and a $72,000 Range Rover owned by his company, Briarwood Capital.
Around October 2002, Walker also inherited a large amount of waterfront property in Freeport, as well as the former Intermedics site. He hasn't exactly spent much money or effort beautifying his property, as shown below:

Yeah, like they're going to let a stinky shrimp processing plant operate right next door to their upscale waterfront development. The next move will be to shut it down as a public nuisance.
And this is in supposedly conservative Texas.
