Supreme Court rules cities may seize homes
By now you have probably seen this news item.
It is amazing to me that this country has gone to such extremist measures in the name of greed.
What we have is the government now able to tell any person to fucking move. You don't OWN your house, you don't OWN your land, regardless of how much tax money you pay. The government owns it and allows you to pay them money through taxes and allows you to keep it at its whim not to take it from you.
This ruling means that ANY home is unsafe from Eminent Domain. If there is a potential "economic gain" for the city then you are shit out of luck if you happen to be in the spot that developers want to build.
Sure, they are given "just compensation" whatever that fucking means but is that really "just"?
Say you have lived in your home for 50 years. A developer asks your city council to have your land because it wants to make a new hotel or whatever. Well, given the infinite wisdom of your elected officials, they can choose, by Eminent Domain to kick you the fuck out of your home.
Sure, you can get "market value" for your home. But can it compensate for all the memories that accumulate over your lifetime? Can you keep your neighbors? Your neighborhood? All myriad of things that make a home a home and not just a house.
Of course, a house is just a thing. And when you finally paid off your mortgage it was YOURS. Or so you thought.
Now what?
This country has become so fascist in the short time I have been here that it won't be long before you will be TOLD where to fucking live and who you can associate with and what you can say or what you can watch or what you can listen to.
And this decision comes from the "liberal" memebers of the Supreme Court, but they are all fascists just like our executive and legislative branches are and it will not get any better until there is a thorough cleansing of the government, one way or another.
What's mine is mine and you can go fuck off!

Wait a minute - you seem to be implying, B, that the government is NOT currently telling you who you can associate with, what you can say, what you can watch and what you can listen to! Hate to break it to you, man, but it's already happening. And the sad part is... so many just sit back and accept it.
Hi AnarchyZen et al,
Just to clarify, technically American is not and never has been a democracy. Constitutionally, we are a Republic, though in practice it doesn't seem like we are anymore... do you really think your Congressional representatives give a flying fsck about what you believe?
But you raise a good point about freedom in America. Note how "freedom" and "democracy" are two of the prime buzzwords of the BuShites. They bludgeon our consciousness with those words, that few people even know what they really mean these days.
