  1. That is such a shame and so unnecessary. Shame on that local county. God they're all such sociopaths. There was a clear alternative that was less destructive if what you say is true, but that wasn't good enough. I guess it's like they say- a tiny bit of power goes to one's head and always corrupts.

  2. I've never agreed with eminent domain. Let's talk about what it really means. It's merely the State or the feds saying "we have more thugs than you to do what we say, so fuck you. We can take what you have and you can't do a goddamn thing about it." End of story. I've never supported eminent domain, because first of all, a claim of public value is entirely subjective and cannot be proven in any kind of objective way by any outside observer, and even if it could that STILL doesn't justify the forceful taking of one's home or business by an outside authority regardless of whether fair compensation was provided or not. (The State's definition of 'fair' and the owner's definition are probably quite far apart from one another.) An unwilling taking is a theft plain and simple; it's Might makes Right, nothing less, the underlying foundation of all so-called government actions ("do what we say, or else!") I do not believe eminent domain has ever been needed, let alone justified. Since government is just the assembly of force directed towards a particular goal for a particular interest, and these interests are usually based in corrupt cronyism, I do not believe an ethical argument could be made for any incident of eminent domain over the past 200 years. I find ED to be just dressed up bullying. It's the schoolyard bully taking the weaker kids' lunch money, nothing else. Let's not be fooled; those making public policy are usually nothing more than a bunch of corrupt pieces of dogcrap who don't want to play fair, ergo they try to dress up their wrongful behavior with fancy words and special procedures in order to make what they are doing appear more palatable or morally justifiable. Let's be smarter than that. Eminent domain is the State using its excess of force against an individual or a group for any reason. I can't possibly support that; I don't care how supposedly publicly valuable the planned project is, as I've already stated, perceived value is purely subjective and nowhere provable. I'm literally a communist but that doesn't mean I believe we should all be slaves to government bureaucrats and pseudo-dictators. If any citizen does not wish to sell then that should be their right, end of story, no more discussion, PERIOD. The individual should have some rights in this country and right now, we don't IMO. (I can't believe how property taxes are used to literally violently take homes from hard-working families who worked all their life for them and I truly hope this is not done elsewhere. I find this to be a monstrously evil practice that is somehow so normalized to the point I feel as if I'm living in bizarro world when I encounter it.) The greed-obsessed filth who gain power here are literally doing everything in their power to take EVERYTHING we have by any means necessary. (It's always easier committing grand larceny to another then putting in the hard work of earning it oneself.) If we're not getting reamed by Wall Street, it's the local county, state or the feds coming around. I don't know if we can change any of this in my lifetime but I would sure like to try. I find the current status of what government superfilth gets away with at the moment quite intolerable. The amount of intentional destruction, harm , and larceny from the State to the average citizen in this country is just beyond, IMO.
