Triple A, If this is true, someone should try to get in touch with SEALs. These guys could put a bee in somebody's bonnet. Peace and love, George.

Yeah George, he's talked to them.
They have enough problems getting people to show up at their reunions and stuff. They're very timid about getting involved in things that could be perceived as political.

You do know that the government will kill him if he resists, dont you?
Keep us informed about his situation.
To: Tailgunner Joe
Thanks for the ping...
Because greedy Florida legislators over the years have allowed over-building to go on throughout the state in sensitive areas, suddenly it is the unassuming Mr. Hardy who is called upon to cough up and sacrifice his homestead, while the darter snake, and "rare" tree frogs get more respect than a U.S. veteran.
And funny how 'Eminent Domain' is never enforced anywhere near a Congressman, Senator, or Martin Sheen's home or town...

"Any other useless, unhelpful or loaded questions?"The article states that he was offered 5 million dollars. Why don't you read the article before laying into people.
To: AAABEST
I sent this email to Jeb:
Dear Governor Bush,
Please stop the illegitimate use of eminent domain in the "hole of the donut" and the property of Mr. Hardy.
I sincerely hope you have not fallen under the spell of the Gaia worshippers, who believe we need to make reparations to animals for what's happened over the last 300+ years by setting aside land just for them, with no human presence. Those who advocate vast wilderness areas are not operating on any scientifically sound basis, but rather on religious zeal. Animals believed to need undisturbed areas have been found over and over to exist near development, and even in the suburbs.
Protect the rights that god granted us, that made us the greatest nation on earth. Don't put animal rights ahead of human rights and aid in the creation of "no humans allowed" areas.
Thank you.
To: Mr. Quarterpanel
I agree with you, that the Everglades are worth saving; but it seems silly to me that all the money and effort is going into this problem, when our local government is still allowing overdevelopment and the impact on the environment that goes with it. Have you heard of the "black water" and "red tide" problems we've had here in SW Florida? These are algae blooms that are occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. The red tide is particularly offensive, it causes respiratory problems. Apparently the research has said these algae blooms are related to all the fertilizer runoff into the Gulf from the manicured lawns and golf courses that are in abundance here. The County keeps letting them go in, though.
To: AAABEST
Yours is the typical blockhead worldview. "They told me they're saving the environment so it must be true". No facts or science, you just know what you've been told. That's why we have policy that puts turtles and frogs before children, too many morons who believe everything they're told. Keep sucking up all that green gook you've been fed. You don't know the first thing about .....the first thing. You obviously know nothing about the the Everglades, the situation in the South Estates or Florida politics. Thanks for the personal attacks. Don't read the text, don't form a conclusion, don't think for yourself...Attack me and call me names because I DARED to question your self serving vanity post about your million dollar friend, being thrown off his land with a huge pile of money. Boo Hoo!!
You got something? Post it. I did not make this stuff up. I took the time to wipe the tear from my eye to research and read what this was all about, and link it. You respond with rhetoric, inuindo, trash talking.
My understanding of the situation, barring your millionare friend's feelings, is more than you think. I understand the history of the Everglades. I don't care about the politics of south Florida. I care about clean water for millions of people, not millions of dollars for some Vet.
To: AppyPappy
Despite talk of offers of up to $5 millionNote: "talk" of up to $5 million. "talk" is cheap, deeds are all that matter. The point of this thread is not amounts of money but the loony greenie weenies that are trampling the rights of an individual (in this case a veteran).

The Sierra Club sounds like a group you would fit into quite nicely. I hear they are looking for people to sit in trees in California. Thanks for the advise. I will give it the consideration it deserves. If you want to speak to the issue, read the link, and then lets debate it.
FWIW, I would not consider the SFWMD and the USACE an "Environmental Group"
To: AppyPappy
S
o I don't see the urgency to save a poor disabled vet who is sitting on a $Million plusIf I had a 50,000 dollar car and the state offered me 1,000 dollars for it, would you say I had to take it? There is no difference in this case. First, the state is only offering 25 to 30 percent of the value of the property, second, the value of the land is further enhanced by the selling of fill, and third,(and most important) HE DOESN'T WANT TO SELL. PERIOD.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO SELL. PERIOD. Yeah right? Why is this very simple concept so freaking hard to understand?
Used to be if they had to bulldoze a few home for an interstate, it was a big deal. Now, they can roll over thousands of property owners using "saving the environment for future generations" as the excuse for the power grab.
And we have dipsticks on a supposedly conservative forum who cheer it on, for some odd neurotic reason. It's all upside down for cripes sake.
These people are freaks.

What about the other residents in Florida?
The ones that Klamath Falls farmers went to support.
What about the people affected by the federal heritage site programs?
What about the buffer zones around federal land?
What about the coal mines shut down by clinton?
And what about the Klamath Falls farmers?
COME ON ! People this isn't an ISOLATED INCIDENT.
It's all part of the program.
But hey let's keep hiding our heads , hoping that it won't affect us..................
CONSPIRACIES are NOT theories , they are plans. Plans people make to make gains.
READ THE TEN PLANKS OF COMMUNISM AND LOOK AT WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING. THEN SERIOUSLY ASK YOURSELF WHO THEY REPRESENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bush is throwing Gods' name around more and more , because he NEEDS you to think he is on your side to achieve his (masters) goals.
I said before his election and still say "There is not a Christian bone in bushs' body."

"Wasn't this guy offered several million dollars for the property?"Ah yes....the class distinction over principle arguement. This is a beloved tool of the extreme left. You've been outed dude!
