I feel a lot better

Justice Stevens reassures us about the Kelo decision:
"For those who complain about income taxes, the same reasoning can be applied. The government established the income tax, it is well within their jurisdiction to take ownership of all businesses so as to eliminate the need for income taxes."
What a comforting thought. I bet if Stevens ever comforts a child during a thunderstorm, he says things like, "The lightning is just a form of electricity. It can fry you just like that. However, electricity can also kill you via a faulty plug in a wall socket, so I wouldn't worry about it."
