I saw this news story last night. There are a lot of news stories which unsettle me these days, but few that make me fume. This was one of the rare latter.

It really does seem that we are rapidly approaching a tipping point in the US, after which we will be completely stripped of the ever-shrinking list of freedoms we enjoy. Our supreme court has spoken, and now all Americans have the right to keep their own property unless someone with more money wants it. What a disgrace.

I am a pretty easygoing person, but if it was MY home, I'd be chained to something solid inside, and armed. No doubt I'd be forcibly disarmed and arrested, but that's the sort of thing that needs to happen to show Americans that they now live in a country where if you don't want to sell your nice house to someone with more money, the police will come and remove you from it. Free nation, my ass.
