Is the government loosing its touch, hell they could have just planted a few pot plants on the property then simply seized it. The lunk-head nanny's here would then be praising the governments heavy-handed tactics.
This is very similar to another discussion on another thread about sodomy laws and the right to privacy within one's own property.
The common denominator here is the refusal of the State to acknowledge there are any boundaries that exist within the individual's right to property ownership.
And I would not have been rah=rah for taking property w/ a few pot plants on it either. They could have been planted by anybody.
