My favorite quote:
Quote:"I think it's absolutely ridiculous," she said. "They're just doing it for spite."
Out of spite? But it's eminent domain! It's for the good of society! Souter should be happy to give his house up! It's for the good of all!

Well, I suppose that's one way to make a point.

Reminds me of the time Rick Mercer (for those outside of Canada, a prominent political satirist) tried to get a referendum to force Stockwell Day (the then-leader of the Canadian Alliance, and proponent of citizen-led referenda) to change his name to "Doris".
Needless to say, there are a lot of things that sound like good ideas, so long as they don't actually affect you.
