February 19, 2010 - Interesting discovery...

While not revealing the reason behind this comment, I will say that I have found out first hand that if you do not have the financial means to 'play the game' that requires hiring a lawyer, in certain areas of life, one has no legal rights...

The following is in no way connected to the previous comment -
In the state of Virginia, the laws on the books governing housing subdivisions and their respective "Homeowner's Associations" (I only found one) gives the homeowner zero rights in redressing grievances from a legal standpoint.
The subdivision I reside in has 176 houses. The HO Association collects over $14,000 a year from the owners for association fees. I often wondered why. Where did the money go? We have no sidewalks; we have no pool; we have no playground. What was this money used for?
I set out trying to discover, and to alert the 'community', I forced a meeting of the association board, and the homeowners. It was during this meeting I found out the true meaning of 'community'. It means no one gives a damn!
Out of 176 houses where I personally stuffed a flyer about the meeting, which I had printed at my own expense, there was a whopping six people that showed up! Six - out of 176!
What I also learned was that when they board hired an auditor to review the books, he gave up because they were so messed up he couldn't make any sense of them. When the audit was conducted the association had been collecting HO fees for over ten years, amounting to over $140,000. No one knew where that money went. No one.
All I can say is someone had some fun somewhere at our expense, but as I said above, only six people cared.

And that folks, is why the national government can walk all over the Constitution and our rights. No one cares anymore. We are quietly being funneled into a pool of human robots, blatantly being used to cement to power of the rich, and to give them the ultimate decisions as to who lives, and who doesn't.
