K.N.A.R.P

Arrgh! After a while of feeling sick to my stomach (and very non-productive here at the office), I had just figured it out! (Me, to myself, "What the hell is KNARP? This whole thing is so fishy. Uh, maybe backwards? [several minutes of badly juggling letters in my head] ... OH!")

I was all set to post this whole thing about pump-storage dam systems ("It's like a normal hydroelectric dam, but during low-demand periods, it runs backwards and fills the reservoir. That would explain the low reservoir level and "Advanced" part of the name...") I was sooooo ready to play along!

Damn! Jokes about 'yo mamma' - usually funny. Jokes about babies in blenders - sometimes funny. Jokes about the Holocaust - rarely funny (unless you're Mel Brooks). But jokes about flooding climbing areas .... GRRRR!

The new eminent domain rule that private developers can seize homes is a little disturbing. They only have to show that it benefits the public. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision this year.

Eric wrote:Eminent Domain is not something that is easy to do or that government entities like doing. It was recently challenged and upheld in New London, Connecticut, but that was related to economic redevelopment. The government has to prove larger benefits to "take property". Since Rick owns a large section of this area and probably would never sell, that is going to mess up plans slightly. They might be able to work around his corner if the initiative is really there. I am sure the Army Corps of Engineers will be involved and there will be public hearings, probably also the TVA.

Thanks eric that was the case I was referring to.

Oh, and my feeling is:"Fuck the man! man."
