WILMINGTON CITY COUNCIL VOTES TO TAKE PRIVATE PROPERY
The Wilmington City Council voted yesterday to allow the taking of the land occupied by a number of small businesses near the Christiana Riverfront by Eminent Domian. The reason for the takings has nothing to do with building highways or railroads. It's part of trend by City Governments across our nation to take the land of small business owners and the homes of lower income property owners and allow it to be turned over to wealthy developers who in turn will build high end properties that will increase the tax dollars taken in by the city. Our Forefathers broke free from the oppression and greed of the heavy handed King of England and his tyranical goverment because of issues like this. Below is the email I sent to the News Journal further addressing this issue.
"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If `Thou shalt not covet' and `Thou shalt not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free."-- John Adams (A Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787)
It's obvious that the high moral principles that formed the bedrock of our society are beyond the intellectual abilities and moral comprehension of the prostitutes for wealthy developers and arrogant boobs who infest the Wilmington City Council and the self consumed snot-nosed gentry wanna-bees who have migrated to Christiana Landing. The principle of eminent domain was created to obtain the necessary land to build highways, railroads, and other such things. It was never intended to be used as a tool for powerful developers and their stooge politicians to rip off the land of hard working private citizens or to placate the sensitivities of a privileged group of johnny come latelies whose little worlds are unsettled by the presence of small businesses and homes near their new residences.
I wonder which one of our God given rights will be attacked next as our freedom gradually disapears and our society corrodes.
