I wish you would share that with us, Summer!

I would like to write a book about that someday. A la Animal Farm, but it would take place in NY, where the government has a VERY heavy hand controlling private property. And, not suprisinigly, corruption ABOUNDS...

suprisinigly, = surprisingly

(BTW, it's not my spelling; it's my typing!) And here's why: I once had a great job, outside of education, where my terrific boss told me, truthfully: DON'T learn to type, because otherwise you'll NEVER get promoted! (You'll be stuck as an admin assistant forever) So, I didn't learn to type -- and, I got the promotion! :)

However, I am thinking, now, I SHOULD learn how to type! :)

(Sorry for the delay, had to go shopping.)

You just said the magic word, corruption. Once upon a time we, the private property owners were the environmentalists. Then organizations started popping up that promoted basically the same things we cared about. But corruption crept in and those once sane organizations took it too far.

Just like the anti-smokers who "only wanted an area set aside in resturants where people wouldn't smoke." Look what a monster that has turned into.

This is why I and many others call them "enviro-nazis." They want total control of everyone elses property.

What does control equate to? Power!
