Would this be a voluntary sale, or an involuntary “Eminent Domain”?
Yeppers! Stealing one property after another in the name “Eminent Domain”
Good question Terry!
Nothing new about this type of dealing. People loses their own person lands all of the time just for the sake of letting others tread all over it. Been happening for years. Sweat, blood and tears means nothing to someone else. Take it and get over it.
NOW OUR COMMENTS NEEDS ‘MODERATION’. SO MUCH FOR FREE SPEECH WITHOUT BAD LANGUAGE.
You are on a private website. While I allow all sorts of opinions, insulting other commenters can get you put on a list to have your comments moderated before they get posted.
