This has made me realize that there should be a hierarchy of rights:
rights of the individual > rights of the local area > rights of the state > rights of the federal government
You might notice that corporations are not mentioned anywhere in there. Because they don't have any rights. Well, they shouldn't have any rights, but then, I also feel that we should go back to the times when corporations we created for a single specific endeavor and then disbanded.
Although, this isn't about state's rights. This is about voting people off their land. Which, I'll grant you, has a long-standing tradition in this country (especially if said people were there before we showed up), but I don't like it one bloody bit. This isn't an episode of Survivor, we're not allowed to vote people off the island!
