Good heavens!

Could it be that the current government thinks that individual
liberties, personal and property rights, and even constitutional rights
like due process can and should be suppressed in favor of the "public
good"?

Could it be that private developers who own enough politicians (or
select politicians) can pressure the government to condemn your house,
land, or business and turn the property over to their development
cartel so they can put up a shopping mall or build some condos? That's
awful. We should look into this, and repudiate any politicians so
blatantly pro-business.

Thanks for posting this. I always suspected you were a patriot. :-)
