Both parties were absolutists about their imagined powers..

Owning land doesn't give you godlike powers over your peers.

Nor does administrating our laws give you godlike powers over your peers.

We've written a Constitution to guide us about abusing power. Amazing how so few of us admit we are ALL bound to honor the document.

What is "godlike" about trying to use a legal easement in the maintenance of the system for which that easement was legally granted?

OBTW, you keep ducking my earlier concern where you called me a gun-grabber for agreeing with the GA bill. Does that mean you have retracted your support for the GA bill?

But owning a gun does?

Absurd.
