I have a better one: any old oak trees on the properties? Rare plant species? Historical landmarks? Spotted owl nests????

US Code, Title 18, section 242:

DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW

Statutes, acts, ordinances, regulations, and decisions are NOT *laws*...just government policy, and only governmental entities must adhere to them.

"Statutes, acts, ordinances, regulations, and decisions are NOT *laws*...just government policy, and only governmental entities must adhere to them."

They are laws everyone is subject to. That includes gov, unless exempted explicitly.

Seriously, I was making a little joke there. I live in the desert. We've got mice, turtles, and "rare" joshua trees that are protected. I read where they were going to shoot and poison the ravens to protect the turtles. My first thought was how to make turtle soup.

I was just thinking it would be funny to turn the environazi crap on the government for once. :-)
