    hahahaha!

    Tell ya what...

    I think we should gather up all the evil puds who made us all think we had tochoose sides (Left or Right) and turned the US on each other..

    We should gather them up, and stand them "UP against the wall!"
    Bwaa haa haaa

    Ok, calming down....

    Oh, I don't think anyone's hyped up at all. Not in the least.

    Jackie, that lady could have tried to fight them, I guess, if she chose to. There was decent, respectful dialog back and forth, though, and neither side really wanted this lady to lose her farm. There just was no other land acceptable.

    Come on over to Maryland, Jackie. You're only a few hours' drive away, right?

    Yes, she could have tried to fight them, but she would have been out all the money for court costs, and still would have lost her land. I'm sorry you don't remember what it was for. But it really doesn't matter. It shows who really owns the land. We had the same thing here. A guy lived on a family farm, had a big Farm Market just out of the city limits. The city decided it wanted to expand its limits, which meant a road right through the middle of his farm. He tried to fight it, but there was nothing he could do. The city "needed" to put the road right through his farm. Of course, he can't cross the road with his farm equipement. AND after they did that, they shut down the market that's been there for about 50 years, because you can't have farm markets inside the city limits! So he had no choice but to sell his farm off in little parcels, and you should see all the businesses that are there now. Well, I guess that's OK as long as it's not YOUR house they want!

    I was never ED'd off a property, but the farm mom and I rented on for 21 years got sold and we were just as quickly disregarded. Been there, done that- in a sense. All 265 acres got sold off as lots.

    You were renting. The government didn't come and take it from you, the owners sold it. If you would have had the money to buy it with, I'm sure they would have let you. Yes, it's similar, but there's still some differences. It's something EVERYONE who rents faces the possibility of having happen.

    Ah, but is it a left-wing, right-wing, or a wing-less conspiracy? :D

    Whichever one Hillary thinks it is. That's who I'm voting for in '08, of course.

    In the words of that famous Wabbit... "Of course, you know....This means war!"

    (Tosses a few maters...)

    Jeanne might not be the first then, but she'll have someone good to learn from. You won't see Hillary in anyone's pants but her own.

    No, I doubt it! I always felt that you and I like each other just fine! I think we actually enjoy disagreeing. But there's still a lot of respect on both our sides and that's what matters most. Tell Kathe I miss her, too. She helped keep things lively! (Oh, and tell her I took that DURNED Power Glide to a Used Sale today. Hopefully I won't have to take it back home tonight when the sale's over, lol!)
