A few days ago the US Supreme Court (Right wing:rolleyes: ) ruled in a 5 to 4 decision that if a company like lets say Wal-Mart wants to build a shopping center on my farm, that the government can force me off my land even if I refuse to sell.

Its for the public good. OK I can see highways, railways, even schools and such. Those are public places, owned by the taxpayers.

But to take someones property and give it to a corporation or some snob with more money than me IMO is insanity.

I am really starting to believe that we are living in a police state, soon everywhere I go will be checkpoints and I will have to show my papers.

Regardless of your political position be it Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or Anarchist this can and does affect you.

Soon enough maybe the federal govt can rule that my DVD collection should be taken from me and given to someone else.

This is the road we are heading down, when do we say enough is enough.

Also I am curious as to what our younger members think of things like this, and Canadians too. I am unfamiliar with property rights laws in Canada. (Help me out here UrgeOK)

End of Rant

its complete insanity - i dont think this would be possible in Canada...
