Oh I'm so glad ROn Paul is against this. I don't live in Texas but if
it goes throught it will happen in the Southeast too. Check out
Perry's response FAQ, it is so lame. Such lame answers as yes eminet
domain will have to be use but if we do not build it many more roads
will have to be built and more eminet
domain.
Sort of reminds me of the Reform the LP movement and something
Harry BRowne once said, Harry said the government breaks your legs
gives you a crutch and tell you to be glad just like the REformer
the LP wants to break our legs and be glad they did not break or
arms too like the Democrats and
Republicans.
How about they just take their Hammer Of Untruth and shove
it up their ass.--- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
