Speaking of takings, there's this little item from today's CLEAR View, a (Rockefeller-funded) anti-wise-use e-newsletter:
>"Kansas has a group that utilizes ideals put forth in the Communist

>is the Kansas Recreation and Park Association. Read their [sic] platform
>they are passing around the Kansas legislature. It will be obvious that
>their stance is similar to Communist ideals concerning private property

>Division. From their home page, February 16, 1999.
Of course they don't give the URL.
