SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

THE WATCHDOG ISSUE 55 2007
INSTITUTE FOR JUSTICE DEFENDS
RIGHTS OF MINNESOTANS
A National Libertarian law firm has chosen
Minnesota as one of the three states in the nation
that needs help in defending the rights of it’s citizens.
The Institute of Justice call themselves a merry
band of litigators. They specialize in taking
from the government and giving back to the citizens.
They have picked Minnesota because it
over-regulates. Lee McGrath, director of the
I.J.’s Minnesota chapter, has kicked off the battle
by challenging the city of Red Wing’s rental
inspection policy. The suit is a basic violation of
the 4th amendment protection against unreasonable
searches.
Minneapolis has and now St. Paul has adopted
policy’s that require rental inspections. Under
the cloak of health and safety a city can do just
about anything and have it sound legal.
John Baker, an attorney representing the City of
Red Wing in the rental inspection case maintains
that without inspections the city can’t ensure
that fire alarms are functioning or that the sewer
lines are being maintained. He goes on to say
that the I.J. concludes that people have constitutional
rights that do not exist.
Mr. Baker’s comments are fatally flawed.
Anyone who has been a landlord has seen smoke
detectors routinely deactivated by tenants wilfully
removing their batteries. No tenant is
going to pay the rent if the sewer system is not
in working order either.
Who in America doesn’t know that he has a right
against warrantless searches? This is an excellent
opportunity for the courts to put a stop to
cities thinly veiled attempts to strip away
America’s freedom.
The Institute of Justice came to national attention
with the eminent domain case of Susette
Kelo vs. New London, Conn. The city cited
blight and took a large area of New London for
a private developer. This was done to rebuild
and raise the city’s tax base.
The Supreme Court in a controversial decision
sided with the city. This made literally everyone’s
home up for sale when government wanted
it.
This decision so angered Americans that by the
end of 2006, 30 states had changed eminent
domain laws. Minnesota is one of the 30 who
chose to protect property owners from cavalier
cities that have a hunger for more taxes.
To further understand why I.J. is vital to
America’s freedom, look at the city of Richfield.
Former state politician and now U of Mn law
school professor, Myron Orfield, believes that
the city of Richfield was justified in the use of
eminent domain. This law was used to take the
most successful car dealership in America.
Several acres of residential property were also
taken so that Best Buy could build a home office
complex.
The purpose of eminent domain’s original intent
was to improve and benefit the community. It
was to be used for building roads or hospitals -
not for beating up on one corporation to help
another.
Orfield, maintains that Richfield had poverty
and blight at 77th and 35W and that it’s schools
were segregated. None of his opinions have
been proven.
What has been proven, is the poor judgement of
Richfield’s politicians. The intersection of 494
and 35W was the busiest one between Chicago
and Los Angeles. Then, the city added over
5,000 Best Buy employees and it just got much
worse!

DAMN COMMIES! Maybe we should have housing inspections for every home in Saint Paul. Wouldn't this then be equal protection?
Renters DO NOT WANT YOUR GHESTAPO BUTTS IN THEIR HOMES. INSPECT THE RENTERS HOMES WHO WANT THESE BOGUS INSPECTIONS. This way we can save some money for the budget and lay off some inspectors since they won't be needed.
I would like the City to announce Monday they will be inspecting every home in Saint Paul.
"NO INSPECTIONS" THE PROTEST SIGNS FROM THE LEFT WOULD READ...
As long as it is someone else who cares right?
Legal troubles for Minnesota is what the title should say Bob.
Oraganizations and people with their legal guns aimed at Minnesota
1. Institute of Justice.
2. ACLU
3. RICO Plaintiff.
4. to many personal lawsuits to name.
Who is going to pay for all of this?
hey Chucky, it looks like your friends in the city have some rough roads ahead.
Notice to representitives and city council members that are ruining St.Paul; You too Chucky!
"It is essential,that you should form and
adopt certain rules or principles. . .It is in the Bible, you must learn them, and from the Bible
how to practice them."
The first ring suburbs is the place to be, with the middle-class disappearing and the core cities exploding.
I will be moving and spending my big check from the city after the RICO decision. Someone else will have to pay for it.
