Property Rights are threatened so attend meetings.

From Joyce:
“For example, I may desire to rent the use of a piece of land you own to raise a garden. However, regulations and controls may not permit me to raise a vegetable garden.”
Yeah, because that’s the kind of activity that businesses can’t engage in because of zoning and environmental regulations. Funny how the example isn’t, “I may desire to rent the use of a piece of land to process dangerous chemicals known to cause cancer.”
More to the point, the entire article makes its point about freedom and property rights by referencing 18th century thinkers. Now, I’m a big fan of the 18th century enlightenment. The Founding Fathers were great in big-picture thinking. But there were only a handful of uses for land in the 18th century: farming, light industry, or shops. I think it stretches the Constitution to a point of nonesense if we ignore that today land uses are far more complex.
Look to the 18th century thinkers for principles and big ideas. Let’s not look to them for guidance on regulating shopping malls, motorways, and environmental remediation.
Sorry — I probably just gave a lot more credibility to Joyce Morrison than she deserves. I’m just trying to be nice to your relative, Larry! (You think we forgot that you were distantly related to Joyce via the stinky skunk story last summer?)
This woman combines a fundamental misunderstanding of a thousand years of western political thought with a completely fractured and ignorant reading of the U.S. Constitution. And I thought such stupidity only existed in the people that drafted Alan Keyes.
What was the point of your post Ralph ?
She’s not a relative Vasyl, she went to high school with my father.
