On Pinion Canyon — 1
Thoughts on training areas and eminent domain.
I’ve been quiet on this particular issue. And, based on an inspiration of a bumper sticker I saw on a station-wagon at Hobby Lobby lasts weekend, I think it’s time I came out on this matter.
Who the HECK are these people? And WHY are they so short sighted?
These are the simple questions I’d like to understand better about this matter of expanding the training area afforded the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized).
Additionally, why do they think their property is any more or less at risk than my own house in light of Kelo v. New London? That they should think their home is more important than national defense?
I’ll have more thoughts on that last item in the near future. [Note: Oddly enough, the fellow walking into Hobby Lobby looked like he had a son that could well be impacted, if not a casualty of war, if this matter were resolved in the wrong manner…..
