Gettin' Poetic on the Justice

Good evening to all,
hope your day was a good one.

By now, you all know how I feel about the Supreme Court's decision to expand the powers of eminent domain, I think it was just plain wrong for the highest court in the land to allow the erosion of property rights within our great nation, for with the stroke of a pen anyone's property is now subject to being seized if some company decides they want to make use of your land, and if their proposal promises to generate more revenue for the city, county, or state. It's all about money, and that stinks.

Here's where the title of this latest entry comes from.....

It seems that a very wealthy individual who is in the media business, has decided to petition a small town in New Hampshire for the right to build on a small parcel of land with a single residence structure, tucked away in a rural part of the state, and scenic in it's beauty. The man's company plans to put a hotel on the property, which would surely bring in more revenue than those measley property taxes being paid, the proposed name for the hotel would be "The Lost Liberty Hotel", complete with a coffee shop named the "Just Desserts". Attempts by the media to contact the present owner of the property have gone unanswered. But who is the mystery owner who refuses to speak out against his property becoming the proposed site of a new "revenue generating" hotel, you might ask? Well it turns out that the home belongs to an Associate Supreme Court Justice (one who happened to vote in favor of expanding eminent domain). Word around the internet has most everyone wondering how he will be able to fight the proposed takeover of his property, the decision will untimately rest in the hands of 3 positive votes on the 5 person city council where the property is located. I guess what's fair is fair, and it's only fair that if all of us would have to pack up and move, so should one of the people responsible for us having to do so. This will be one heck of a story to keep track of, as it's certain to open up new dialogue on the controversial matter which has received too little media attention. Could this be "poetic justice" coming into play? My best guess is that only time will tell....

I'd be mighty nervous right now if I lived next to Disneyland.

Hi Mrs. T, and welcome Lone Ranger,
thank you for the good comments you both sent, good points and very true !

@Mrs. T :
I can't believe some of the stuff going on nowadays either, it sure makes me wonder why more people aren't asking the important questions.

@ Lone Ranger:
*LOL, I hadn't thought about that, but I'll bet you're right about Ol' Mickey knockin' on a few doors someday soon.

Have a good day,
and a Happy July 4th !
