Actually Picchio ducked...

He poetic like others on the "Common Good", "Stewardship", "Shared Cultural Values", etc....and tosses out the hypocritical, "I respect your right BUT . . ."

Hell I can do that to...give me a Jim Beam, a guitar and a Grateful Dead album from the early days...I could go on foreever...

...but he ducks the issue...

The tendency of certain C&V members to get bent out of shape as though others should only do things with property THEIR way...and yet run and hide when simply told:

"If you want to "save" it - make 'em an offer they can't refuse!"

Wanting to control what other's do with their private property beyond what is necessary to protect other's private property rights is the behavoir of socialist and communist individuals and nations.

Some would also argue that it is petty and immature behavior...

Bottom line is:

1. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
2. I'll do what I damn well feel like doing with my private property.
3. If you don't like it - make me an offer I can't refuse - else quit your whining.

I'll admit like another poster did that sometimes what you see is downright stupid...but then again...I don't get bent out of shape about it. It's a free country...love it or hate it.
