Oh my.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080505/ap_on_re_us/cemetery_dispute HARTLAND, Vt. - The 130-acre property was exactly what Michel Guite and his family wanted: an old Vermont farm with mountain views, rolling hills and meadows.
There was, however, one wrinkle: The property included a small family cemetery — with the grave of a War of 1812 veteran — surrounded by a fence on a scenic knoll.
His proposal to move the graveyard so he can build a house and barn has set off protests. The town has passed a resolution aimed at blocking the move, a descendant of one occupant of the graveyard is trying to fight him in probate court and opponents including military veterans have asked the town to take over the cemetery and keep it where it is.
"We're looking for some precedence setting, because we've never heard of such a heinous thing," said Tom Giffin, president of the Vermont Old Cemetery Association.
Cemeteries have been dug up for public good before, to make way for roads and buildings, but "there's never been the case in the state of Vermont for somebody to move a cemetery to put a house up," Giffin said.
Opponents say it's about honoring the dead, and respecting the graveyard as a historical site.
For Guite, it's about property rights.....
So I look up this character, this non-native Vermonter, in Google, and find:

So another "socialist" who has his, but doesn't want anybody else to have any.
These are the sorts of people like the Obamaite cali sub-primitive and the Obamaite solar bust sub-primitive ("garybeck") on Skins's island.
