and this organizations is sketchy at best- big bass last year was awarded a fishing rod.  many tournament fisherman that i know would have a fit for that-  not one single penny of scholarship money went to that kid

I beg to differ.  This is a great organization for the kids, but this maybe where the problem lives.  Many parents/boat captains, and fishing team leaders forget that it is for and about the kids.  It has been my experience over the past 5 years (this is how long my son has been involved) that the creators and organizers of this organization place the student anglers first.  To them it is all about the kids.  Heck, in my son's 5 years of participating he has banked about $2,000 that will go toward college expenses and has only placed in the top 10 twice in 5 years.  He has the rest of this year and next to add to that. We tried another organization a couple years ago and got back to SETX as soon as possible.  

Lastly, for kids fishing (and hunting) is not about what you can win or how much money you can make.  You and your kid "wins" everytime they go out on the lake or into the hunting woods.  This gives them time away from social media and video games and exposes them to nature which should bring them closer to our creator which is something that we could all use.

      Liberty is Open

      How do you know that Harrison is not a big opportunity? I don't really know him, but maybe just maybe he is what Liberty needs. I was just wondering what you know about Harrison that doesn't make him a big opportunity.

      US Supreme Court case from southeast Texas

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Looking back at the exact wording, it seems like you are correct and it was the concrete barriers that were the ultimate problem. I mentioned it in my last comment, even if it was just the barriers, did Texas take his property? I think a case like US v. Causby might go a long way to proving his case. Causby had an egg farm and during World War II, the US government started flying four engine heavy bombers for the war effort, low over his farm at full power. The extremely loud noise killed a bunch of his chickens and caused many of the rest of them to quit laying eggs. Even though he legally still on the property, he sued, saying that the federal government had effectively “taken” the use of his property from him. The US Supreme Court sided with him, saying that for the purposes of the Fifth Amendment, the federal government had indeed taken away the use of his property. It wasn’t intentional but that didn’t matter. It seems like this case would fall somewhere along those lines.

      That might have added to it but it said that they intentionally raised the roadway to help it act as a dam. Even if it was the dividers and no intent, did the state “take” his property without compensation? I think that it is interesting that a local landowner fought his case all the way to the US Supreme Court and won in a unanimous decision. So while he has not won his case yet, he won the right to have his day in court and possibly heard by a jury.
