Long time no post
Ok so I've been a little lax. But then no one ever responds either. So kiss my foot.
any hoo... Well the car has been fixed..Sort of. I will be celebrating the forth of July with my son as well as my parents.
in what has become an odd annual habit I just finished reading 1984 again....Goddess is it frightening how close some of it is.
for those who haven't read it...Do. It is important.
one of the things that is scary is the ministry of information, where the man who is the main focus of the book (to call him a protagonist would be woefully inaccurate I think) works.
his job is to fix "errors" in the news and history texts. To go into the specifics would take to long, but basically, he gets a clipping of the "error" with explanations how it is wrong. He then makes the corrections submits it to the higher ups, then sends the original to be destroyed.
all previous printing are gathered and replaced.
sounds a bit how easy it is to change things on the internet...Update the page and poof no evidence it was ever any different.
scary.
another scary thing is the recent United States Supreme Court ruling regarding property rights.
basically how it stand now, the government can take your house from you and give it to someone else simply because your property doesn't generate the tax revenue they'd like it to. Sadly I wish I where kidding about this but I'm not.
though there is some interesting news along the lines of "just deserts".
it seems a company has decided to show Justice David Souter (he was one of the supporting votes) what it feels like.
Four days after the ruling the CEO of a pro-liberty organization decided he wanted to build a hotel.
this is from their press release:
Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.
On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.
Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.
The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America...
..."This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."
Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.
