I wasn’t going to write about this but the subject really torques my thong.

I haven’t posted anything yet today because I’m afraid. I fear that the government will find my blog and determine the content is crap. I worry that our court system will force me to stand by and watch as some productive website such as Google or Amazon delete all the data I’ve worked so hard to produce so they can have my bandwidth and server space; all in the name of progress and the Fifth Amendment.

However, I’ve decided I can save my blog by turning it into a porn site. Right now, my blog doesn’t generate revenue which is the only flaw albeit a fatal one. The Supreme Court is obviously left-handed (or underhanded) so a seedy site that hides behind the 1st Amendment is certainly a safe bet.

If you haven’t figured it out, I’m talking about eminent domain. Yup, the Supreme Court took a supreme dump in the bed this time. Honestly, I think the Fifth Amendment was written during a binge at a Philadelphia pub and those trying to interpret the ramblings today represent the hangover.

Am I biased? You bet I am. I own a home in a decent location.

I hate moving and I’ll be beyond livid if someone tries to tell me my house is substandard for the area and will be torn down to make room for a strip mall. I thought we settled all of this during the building of the railroads. If they try to move me, I’ll be the new Jesse James.

I’m going to exercise another of my constitutional rights and purchase some weapons so I’m able to start feudin’ when the carpetbaggers come to take a slice of my pie…and what exactly is “fair market value”? Who sets this price? If I put my house on the market today, there’s nothing stopping me from asking $300,000 (other than it will never sell). The point is I have control over the selling price of my home…or at least the asking price. No one will come in and tell me what they think the house is worth and coerce me into selling for an amount I feel is too low. Moreover, I do NOT want to move. I want to remain living where I am and I spit in the face of any government that tells me I can’t live where I want.

Ok, so I’m in the military and subject to unwanted relocation anyway, but the military is a different issue; I volunteered for this. Are any of you in the military? You all may as well be, because at any time, the government can force you to relocate whether you want to or not. Oh, they’ll give you money for your house but do you think they’ll help you find another? I think not. You will be left in the cold to fend for yourself. Hopefully you haven’t just taken an equity line of credit at 80% loan to value to make upgrades to your home because you may very well end up living in a brand new refrigerator box down at the city park. Sucks to be you and the government doesn’t give a flip because as long as the developer that pushed you into the street pays more property taxes than you, it’s all good. That’s right; it’s legal for your Uncle Sam to abuse you as long as he profits from it.

Money makes the world go ‘round and the U.S. government knows it.

There is, however, a way to make the law of eminent domain work in your favor. Become a developer and beat the government to the punch. All you have to do is find some crappy looking houses and build an adult book store or something that will improve the image of the community.

I remember the days when our Constitution stood for the rights of the American people and was used to enforce such but now we are forced to sit and watch as the law of the land is used to wipe the ass of the Supreme Court.
