A logical follow-up to the supreme court decision allowing seizure of private property.  Now a corporation with enough capital, and a perception that a toll road, whether needed or not, might eventually turn a profit, will be able to acquire the right of way by having the state condemn homes and farms by eminent domain.

Ok, back to before the turn of the last Century!!   :badgrin:

Roads then were privately held.

Turn back the clock.

Not "Neo-conservatives", no, RETRO-Conservatives!  :evil:

Apparently no one learned anything useful from the 20s nor from the recent debacles with the S&L, and Enron...  Pure geniuses at work.

Arrrgh! My stomach wrenches.  

Scoundrels and thieves, the lot. Hang 'em from the yardarm matey!!

Sounds like another really good idea from the cons.
