The right to swing your fist......etc. is a liberal statement, not a conservative one. The fool is not me. I have watched conservatives, all my life pass and enforce and support "victimless" crime laws and I'm not what you would call a young man. And all during that time, the libs have been fighting for drug decriminalization. And supporting groups like ACLU. Now, tell me again about how liberals are about controlling peoples' personal lives and conservatives are all about freedom. It looks to me like that's a false costume that conservative legislatures have thrown on recently. And temporarily, I might add. There is a great deal of confusion out there about what a liberal believes, and it has worked quite well for the Republican Party. Apparently, some folks here are deeply indoctrinated.

And yes, Len. This not just close to being about land use. It is ALL about land use and it is about NOTHING ELSE. (except of course, it might be about pretending that liberals are something they are not)

I do not favor the type of decision we are discussing here. But more importantly, I wonder who believes they have all the relevant facts before them. To be declaring this decision a travesty of justice. It was a decision made by the Supreme Court of the United States of America, and I suspect the issues raised in that decision are more complex than many of you care to consider. If you hate something enough, then you will certainly not get a little detail like the FACTS to get in your way. One of the things I notice in my industry (public works construction) is that developers creat huge financial messes for the taxpayer, if we let them. They will build fifteen 300-unit housing developments on a two-lane country road, if you let them. Leaving the local municipality (city, county whatever) scrambling to find the cash to widen that road, expand sewer and water capacity, electrical, fire, police, etc. When those ugly, nasty, mean-spirited communistic lazy ignorant gubmint workers see this coming and get a chance, permit approval will encompass these issues. My preference is for those incidents where the developer is required to build those infrastructure improvements, to the specifications of the municipality, as a condition of going forward with the project. At any rate, I wonder if this problem was part of the dispute and the decision. And I wonder which ones of you don't give a flying **** about this issue because it might make decisions like this seem like something other than an ignorant brain fart.
