As a matter of fact we in the US are now subject to exactly that kind of
shenanigan!!  Just a couple of years ago the US Supreme Court ruled that
local bureaucrats can confiscate any piece of property they want  at any
time they want if it's for the economic good' of the community and then give
it to anyone they choose.  See the ruling regarding Eminent Domain.

Frank, we are all as appalled at this as you are.  I've emailed both CNN and
Fox News ashing why there has been no coverage of such an ongoing travesty.
No answer from CNN and the mail to Fox bounced, 'Mailbox Full'.
