all for one and one for none
I don’t normally address national issues here at Sticks, but there are a few exceptions. Recent news is frightening enough for everyone to be concerned.
The US Supreme Court has decided that your house is not your home. In an outrageous display of imbecility, US Justices Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Friedrich Engels, Leon Trotsky, Chairman Mao, Fidel Castro, Joeseph Stalin, Che Guevara, and Rosa Luxembourg er, make that John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsbug, and Stephen Breyer, have determined that local government, big business, connected developers and anyone with an optimistic business plan can just take your house, your small business, or farm. Through imminent domain, the government – any local government – can force you to accept a fair market price for your home. Can impose you to find another place to live. Can evict you from your neighborhood. No matter what.
Before we go pushing our “democracy” on other nations, it might be a good idea to root out the communism creeping in to New London, Connecticut. Unfortunately, the movement has big-time supporters on the Supreme Court.
I’m just gobsmacked.

You know, it doesn’t suprise me with where America is going.
Yes, the “Liberal” justices were the ones to vote for it — just like they voted George W. Bush into office in 2000 (just heading the Conservative / Liberal argument off at the pass). It’s another ruling that is pro-aristocracy IMHO. “We’ll make life easier for the rich to get even more rich.”
The government component to things makes it look like communism, but the pro-business, pro-corporate component makes things look more like savage capitalism… And the lower classes are the casualties for the sake of the almighty dollar.
