A slippery slope would be a luxury. We have no such luxury.
With the Kelo decision, I figured we were fast approaching the end of government protection of personal property. which is really the lynch-pin of liberty and freedom. With the government takeover of GM & Chrysler, we saw rampant lawlessness by the government in the breaking of bankruptcy and contract laws... Given that the government was supposed to protect the individual from these sorts of things, while both were perpetrated BY the government on individuals, the end was near.
Robert's decision was the last nail in the coffin of personal freedom and liberty, in granting government total control over every aspect of the individual's life through taxation.

We were made slaves on Thursday.
There is about one thing we can do at this point, and that is await our orders from our owners.
