June 23 marks horror

For the next 40 or 50 years, people will be able to recall exactly where they were and what they were doing on Sept. 11, 2001.

Do you think anyone will recall June 23, 2005? Probably not, yet this is the day that the government decided it had the right to confiscate private property. The Supreme Court has done with a pen what no country on Earth could have done with an army: taken our land from us.

The horror of 9/11 was instantly visible. The horror of 6/23 is yet to be recognized.
