Its almost (no, I recant, it is) like the way we were sold the lottery...

Of course I opposed it back then, and have not played it, (except for that first scratch off ticket game, but that doesn't count!;-)...)

The lottery was sold to us based upon the need to fund the state education and other "things" blah, blah, blah...

That general fund where the "money" goes literally has more hands in it than a two year olds birthday cake!

So, I am not surprised at these revelations about the way "things" are funded and sold to the citizens of this state...

And I believe we are way beyond stopping any of this or any other revenue generating project, no matter who it displaces or effects...

I just got through observing a city counsel meeting last night for the City of Manvel...

Seven Oaks Development purchased 2500 acres for a subdivision development that butts right up against my sister's property in that area...

Folks that moved out there for the semi-rural atmosphere didn't bargain for this and are fighting a losing battle against the city (which is broke, and a few of the city counsel members ARE on the take on this one) which is broke, and in need of some moolah...

It just looks like to me if you wanna screw people around this is the kind of template you need to play, to do it...

All of this really motivates me to get my homestead setup on our property up in N.E. Texas, keep my guns, and have a broadband connection to keep up with things in the world from a position where I can see the crap coming, yet not get too caught up in it...
