re: #18 Varek Raith

I’m a resident of Virginia also, actually in Pat Robertsons back yard, and I find that often the religious right is on the “right” side of privacy and property rights. They may be a little kooky in their reasoning, but there tends to be checks and balances. After that eminent domain fiasco at the US Supreme Court, Virginia was one of the first to pass restrictions on the definition of eminent domain. Sometimes there’s a downside, Virginia would have to pass a constitutional amendment to allow for a voucher system for private schools. We are a very moderate Commonwealth.
