BIG BROTHER HAS ARRIVED
Today the Supreme Court, in a vote of 5 to 4, ruled that the government can take your home away if it deems appropriate. What is appropriate....well, let's see. If enough money changes hands from a developer to the city government, then the government can take your house and demolish it so a shopping center or a hotel can go up. Yes sir....Welcome to the good ol' USSR!!!
What the hell is going on? Oh I know...Americans are too busy watching Desparate Housewives to give a shit about the government encroaching upon their rights.
Remember the Bill of Rights? Ever read the damn thing? Here is an excerpt......"nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
I don't think our founding fathers had a mall or hotel in mind when they were addressing "public use". But, hey, that's just me.
