[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 3013926, member: 2189"] Btw Sessions is turning up the screws on civil forfeiture that require no conviction at all. [USER=55299]@Sportello[/USER] was dead on the money calling that one out. One of the main grievances of the 1770's was confiscation of property by the British Crown, often to the benefit of the crony merchantilist East India Company without any due process so in an ironic twist, we've returned to the 1770's by means of a menace (Sessions) who would tell us the reasons for that revolution were justified. If they were justified then.......... We no longer live in a society of free speech and thought so I'm un able to finish that sentence. I also used the word merchantilist instead of capitalist because that word capitalist in that sense was not in use then. Capitalist was a 19th century pejorative that latter in late 19th early 20th was taken from critics by so called capitalists and became the word we know today. Fuedalist, merchantilist and capitalist in their vulgar forms do carry a common heritage to one another. [/QUOTE]
