Mr. Call --

Welcome! You make a good point regarding the way that the British Parliament's Declaratory Act -- which was THE chief provocation of the War for Independence -- was integrated wholesale into the Constitution's language regarding governance of D.C.

Since D.C. produces nothing but "law" and corruption, I'm inclined to think that the District itself is a major abomination -- the Empire's floor drain, as it were. I wonder how different things would be if the constitutional status of the District were something other than it is.

"[Habeus suspension]is one of the three major disfiguring weaknesses of that noble text (the others being the Eminent Domain “takings” provision and the original language outlining the compromise on chattel slavery)."

There is definitely another big one which should not be forgotten -
the power to "legislate in all cases whatsoever" in the District - which has now been expanded to an "unwarrantable jurisdiction".

Note that the identical language was used in the Declaration, as an indictment against King George (the Earlier) and an abomination.

The land purchase is near the triple border between Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina, and stands over one of the largest reserves of fresh water on the planet, a gigantic aquifer that lies under parts of Brazil, Urugay, Paraguay and Argentina, and is larger than Texas and California put together.

20 October

Rick,

Congratuations on being a world traveler. No doubt, the Democrat party will quickly pick up on the Bush's purchasing 100,000 acres in South America.
How many of the articles you found were based on the original reference?
I will admit that I did not research the issue. However, it is a fact that in Mexico and in various European nations, the "period" and the "comma" are switched in numerical applications. However, I admit not to researching as to if the article referenced did indeed contain the correct format for us Muricans.
I wasn't aware that we had a contest going. Grow up. Don't wait on your two dollars.

to a radical whig in ...somewhere.

i got you beat man. i got 1 year of living in france, 1 year in italy, 2 1/2 years in korea, and 3 years in germany. i know about the decimal system. no one in europe carries a number beyond two decimal places. i just used a conversion program and plugged in 98,842 acres. it doesn't convert to any round number in any metric measurements. but i gotta admit, 98,842 acres is a lot and may be incorrect.

if you do a google search using a boolean search: "george bush and paraguay and 98... acres", they all come back the same. 98,842 acres. it's not a decimal, but in fact a comma.

sorry man. you lose. "i want my 2 dollars!"

2006-10-20T10:32:00.000-06:00

In quite a few foreign countries, to include Mexico and various European countries, the "period" and "comma" are switched in their numerical functions. As such,the 98,842 acres might well actually be 98"point"842 acres, which is still a good sized homestead and makes more sense.

No wonder we perform so poorly when we invade foreign countries!

2006-10-20T08:53:00.000-06:00

yeah,

you saw that too! looks likes someone's buying land with oil under it. well, look at it this way, every business deal he seems to engage in usually winds up in ruin. some folk are just cursed. the thing that gets me is how much 98K acres cost?

I followed the link about the Bush family purchasing land in Paraguay, and got:

Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia.

Someone slip a decimal point or two? That's over 150 square miles!
