Truce declared in peace wreath battle

Proof positive that you don't own the land or a home that comes with restrictive covenants, you're just renting it. And paying taxes on it. And being held liable for any accidents that occur on it.

Ownership entails control: no control, no ownership. It's that simple. Covenants decreeing that only members of a certain race could occupy the property have been declared unenforceable: all restrictive covenants should be similarly deemed.

A subdivision has withdrawn its threat of $25 daily fines against a homeowner who put a Christmas wreath shaped like a peace sign on the front of her home.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
