"Private property rights- a worthy hill to die on."
Man, I don't know. I got flamed on a thread this morning for being one of those gung-ho people who's just iching to start a war. When I said that there are worse things than dying in a just fight, all I got in response was, "Oh, puhleese!" in a very condecending tone. Better know where your neighbors stand before going up to the roof.
AMEN!
Don't worry about the flamers, bee. I think it's horribly sad that some people don't have something in their lives they feel worth dying for.
You have to see them for what they are....PINOs. (Patriots in name only)

[A] law that takes property from A. and gives it to B: It is against all reason and justice, for a people to entrust a Legislature with such powers; and, therefore, it cannot be presumed that they have done it."

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God ... anarchy and tyranny commence. PROPERTY MUST BE SECURED OR LIBERTY CANNOT EXIST"
John Adams
----------------------------------------------------------
Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.
James Madison's Essay on Property (1792)
