Watching the local news tonight were they bring up a story of a old farmer that has the power company claim a right away though his property and declare three trees that are over two hundred years old to be cut down and removed. Two of them are on the newly established right away and the third was declared a hazard due to it's size. I don't think this would have happen with the same arrogance only a few years ago. I'm seeing this arrogant attitude more and more.

There was actually a news report on this same issue in Iowa last night.

Proposed Power Line Would Leave Imprint On Eastern Iowa | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and Weather

People are pissed off about extending use of "eminent domain." I would say rightfully so. Wouldn't want to be in the crop dusting business when these things cut through the gut of the corn belt! The way they space these things too(660' or 8 poles/mile) they don't fare well in ice storms up here, most winters they are down anyway and the power never shuts off....I'm not convinced these "transfer lines" are necessary.

..."eminent domain" and arrogant power grabs must be fought at every opportunity:banghead:.


...also read the fine print as the federal government (EPA, BLM) continues to grab and assume powers that are not constitutionally granted to them in their effort to seize and control privately owned water, minerals and land.

:sad:

Could be:confused:...although the worthless bastards are currently so out of control "We-The-People" must show some resolve and stamina if only at the ballot box to regain the America we fought to protect - IMO :thumb:.

Absolutely! And if you missed it, how about the man that was jailed for catching rain water in Oregon. The nuts in Mexifornia have extended themselves in to Oregon. Man Sentenced to 30 Days for Catching Rain Water on Own Property Enters Jail | CNS News
The government is out of control and Boho is the ring leader though he sure isn't alone. Two Term limits for all elected persons. No laws the exempt themselves or the POS in power. How about drilling a well for water and being told that you have to pay the state for the water. You paid for the well. The water is under your land. If it was oil, gas or coal it wouldn't belong to the state but they know that water will one day be worth more than anything. There is no end to the liberal agenda. They intend to enslave everyone just as they have the black population with welfare. If you can't do anything because the government controls every aspect of your life....including your life. Socialism isn't half as bad what is coming to America and people are more concerned about their text messages than what is happening to their country.....pissed wont begin to tell how angry I am.

Voting being mentioned. I was overseas during the election and made arrangements to have our absentee ballots sent us in the Philippines. I have a mail box at the local VFW that's serviced by the US Embassy for which I pay to have delivered. Long story short the Embassy wouldn't delivery any absentee ballots saying they did not conform to the allowed size restriction. My wife and I panic a little but voted online. Still wonder if we were counted..
On the news yesterday I heard stated on FOX that obama had announced the upheaval (violence) we see in the world today is the result of the "new world order" being established. With that being said no wonder he is taking no action allowing our country to drift aimlessly.

The latest thing to piss me off. I'm going down a country two lane road parallel to a train track on my VTX enjoying the breeze quiet country side. I'm doing about 65-70 no one around me. Bang I got a blacked out sedan doing about hundred or better. A trunk lid full of antenna's, no external emergency lights. No headlights, no flasher nothing just hauling a$$. This being a rural two lane road there was maybe 4-5 feet between us. Totally startled me and seriously pissed me off. I'll call that both uncalled for and an abuse of authority.

Did he pass you that close? supposed to give a full lane and go speed limit without lights on.....get the license plate? turn it in. Precedent for this was set when a state trooper got a speeding ticket when he was driving Iowa's Governor around to an event. Someone called it in and they pulled the dash cam footage to verify it and eventually wrote out the ticket.

It being a two lane country road there isn't a whole lot of room and it happened so fast all I saw was it was a blacked out chevy with a lot of antenna's. I mentioned it at a lawn mower shop about seven miles further down the road and the guy said oh yea that sucker went by here like a flash. So apparently he wasn't letting up. Where I was passed it was an isolated area. In the area around the shop it was much more populated.
