<P>This really is crazy as hell. They just wanna take this land for somebody's developing not anything public.</P>
<P>I saw where some folks are going to try and take David Souter's house I think up in New Hampshire and turn it into a hotel soon. They want to call it the lost liberty hotel and bring in more taxes than the judges house does.Hell, he voted for it so turnabout's fair play. I hope they do turn his sorry ass out. That's what it takes with those sorry sob's. They don't give a darn what they say or write as long as it only makes trouble for other people. <BR><BR></P>
