My Eminent Domain
The Supreme Court is wasting it’s time and I really feel bad that these folks had to work so hard to get where they are and have to waste time dealing with silly issues instead of ignoring the undermining of our nation’s freedom, which is supposed to be their job. (Aren’t you just dying to party with these freaks? —->)
First they had to deal with that silly Anna Nicole case, which is bullshit. Their decision should have been simple: we give the dead horny old man’s money to education and you all can go get fucking jobs like normal people.
So now, there’s a town in Long Island called North Hills, home to one of the nicest golf courses on the planet, Deepdale Country Club. The mayor of the town wants to use eminent domain, the law that lets the government seize land in exchange for money for necessary things like schools and hospitals and fire stations, to take away that golf course. His purpose is to make the club "public" for fee-paying members of the town.
Now the funniest part of this is that not only are the members of the club some of the richest
melonfarmers (my new euphemism for motherfuckers) in the country (Tiki Barber, most notably), but the per capita income of that fucking town is over $100K. One article brilliantly described this conflict as "the really rich versus the ridiculously rich". So what we’re arguing about here is that rich elitist fuckers have to give up their respite from poor people so that other rich elitist fuckers can get away from poor people too. Is this what laws were created for? Can we not ask them to fight a Battle Royale to the death? Then the last man standing gets to do whatever the fuck he wants with that land, but only after he’s eliminted the other selfish rich melonfarmers.
Here’s my personal solution: Yes, use eminent domain to seize the land. Then build on it the largest community housing project on the planet.
This reminds me of a Mets promotion I saw on TV: Jeep Owners’ Appreciation Day, where folks who show up at the stadium in a Jeep get a free gift. They might as well build the new stadium in Greenwich fucking Connecticut. It’s a QUEENS TEAM, and I don’t think Jeep and the Mets realize that if we were driving Jeeps to the stadium, we’d probably be Yankee fans.
This is also the logic behind Bush’s retarded tax cuts: give the privileged privileges. I do have one question along these lines: if Social Security is privatized, and we are in fact investing our Social Security in stocks and racehorses, shouldn’t every person in the nation get monster tax breaks? I want to put my retirement money in Enron and Global Crossing. What?? They went belly under? Then put it all on Barbaro to win!!!
