Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1038873, member: 405"] I think the issue Moqui is concerned about is the taking of private property - but if you want to see where a slippery slope started, just look at that Sup. Ct. decision Justice Souter authored a few years ago where he justified the government taking someone's private property (lake front or ocean front, I forget) and justified giving it to another private party because they promised to develop it and generate tax dollars. That would be like Congel being given the land in the town of Salina where those 27 businesses are located that he wanted the town to take for him under eminent domain. Stuff like that is anti-American and anti-freedom, if the property you own can be taken from you just because somebody's pissed at you, or somebody offers the government a better deal. [/QUOTE]
