Forever means exactly that

I am glad to see that a court has ruled that the word 'forever' means exactly that.

For those wondering what I mean by that ... there has been a big stink in Asheville, NC over a developer trying to build on land that was donated through a will over 100 years ago to the Public Trust with the stipulation that the land remain in the Public Trust as parkland 'forever'.

Yesterday a judge ruled that is exactly what it is to remain and the developer has given the hosing up the arse he has been trying to give the citizens of Asheville ... Karma works that way, you know.

While this saga of greed and unmitigated gall does not affect all of you directly - it actually does, because similar types of 'deals' are going on everyday in your little corner of the world as well ... many happening without anything known about them.

More alert and aware citizens are what these 'deal-makers' fear the most and with their free run for the last eight years coming to an abrupt end they are scrambling to squeeze even more out of us. But it is like trying to push back the ocean with a sponge - it won't work and you will get wet.
