Local, state or federal government stepping in to not just stop citizens from doing the right thing, but doing the opposite of what the majority of citizens want. Local, State and Federal government making decisions that not only help out their crony capitalist of the moment but that directly hurt thousands of citizens. Local, state and federal government hurting thousands of citizens in order to allow One very rich citizens to do what he wants.

Now I ask you seriously, is this democracy? Is this one person one vote? Is this really the representation of the majority of citizens opinion as our founders wanted? And if NOT why are the majority of citizens just quietly letting it happen?

And I still have friends and family near there.

I was fuming after this segment.

It's like they're trying to ruin the environment and kill everything.
