Memorial. Freedom. SEIZURE!Something wicked this way
comes
Bloody blistering blue
blazes!
Under what benighted circumstances can this possibly justify an eminent domain seizure? Relatives of those who died aboard United Airlines Flight 93 want the Bush Administration to seize the land needed for a memorial where the plane crashed in Shanksville, Pa., in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Families of Flight 93 sent a letter earlier this month asking President George W. Bush to empower the Secretary of the Interior to take the land in dispute from a homeowner who had been in negotiations with the National Parks Service, said Patrick White, vice president of the families' organization. The group says ground must be broken early next year in time for a memorial to be build for the 10th anniversary of the crash in 2011. I didn't even know that the memorial was being built on the public dime! 2,200 acres? Public funding? Seizure of private property? For a blinkin' memorial? What thrice-damned dunce thought that one up? Why are we paying for it? How on Earth does destroying liberty honor accidental heros? Doesn't anyone see the blasted incongruity? Memorial. Freedom. SEIZURE! It's a perfect oxymoron. Stars above and Earth below, do we REALLY have to watch the nitwits THAT closely? How can I "live and let live" if I have to constantly brain the numbskulls to keep them from leeching my wallet? Of such frustrations are tyrannies planted.
