If this isn't a sign of the impending final days I don't know what is. According to CNN the Supreme Court has decided that it is okay for local governments to appropriate private property for the purpose of private development. In other words, a city can take away your house, tear it down and allow a private business to build a strip mall and office buildings so that the city can increase tax revenue and the business can make more money. I'm sorry folks, but this doesn't seem right to me. It seems like there has been an inadvertent jump into another reality. Or maybe the powermongers have just won another battle for the control of existence.

I've been reading the blogs of Andrew Sullivan lately and, though I do not agree with him on many issues, I admire his integrity and intelligence. I wonder if he will address this particular issue.
