We live in the age of the lazy tendency to categorize the work of one artist against another, and…

June 24, 2005 In a major decision, the Supreme Court of the United States has expanded the right of government to seize private property for public good by allowing the city of New London, Connecticut to invoke eminent domain and seize homeowners’ property for economic development reasons.
