We definitely need to examine our Philosopher Kings for taint; really we need to return to the more apt assumption that taint tends to accrue and metastasize as government becomes less minarchist, so keep government small and in check so that it doesn’t get bribed for favors it can’t give.

Journalists are so quick to dis-serve though. It seems to me.

“I think that the public good trumps private interests” – Maurice Cox quoted in “Democracy in design: Maurice Cox champions a traditional ideal to solve modern urban problems” by Will Goldsmith, Jan. 15, 2008, C-ville Weekly. Cox, who happens to be black, was city councilor 1996-2004 here in Charlottesville, Va.

My blog documents examples of extreme media bias locally on eminent domain issues and holds people accountable by snitching on them. Why don’t newspapers give sources and dates anymore? So you can’t verify the info, because the info is urban legends told by officials. They all believe everybody’s equal–of course, some are more equal than others. They all support civil rights for themselves and their loved ones. In a twist of history, the politicians fall victim of the One Drop Rule: one drop of black blood means you’re black, the group most at-risk of eminent domain abuse (due process violation).

If you oppose one right for one person, that makes you a civil rights opponent. You don’t have to say you oppose equal rights. Let your actions do the talking. One bank robbery means you oppose having a safe place for people to store their money.
