years and see if you still own the property. ''

That truth via groveratredneck. He adds -

determine how you can use the property, as noted in the story linked
above. (about the Virginian stopped from holding church services in his
barn)''

I don't know enough about the zoning laws, or existing
covenants to say whether I agree with that part, but in principle
he's right., and it goes even deeper. After the American Civil
Rebellion the federal government paid Robert E. Lee for seized land
(now Arlington Cometary). Would that happen today/? I doubt it. Here's the
guiding principle folks - If government is allowed to take even one
man's property, then there is no private property anywhere. When
the government prohibits, say, a land owner from cutting his own timber,
that's seizure. Grrrr. Which is precisely why Thomas Jefferson said ''The price of Liberty is hanging Joseph Biden.''
