Interesting. I've heard of such situations, but have no first-hand experience with such scenarios (North Texas). Regardless, Zuruck's belief seems to be that the gov't will come looking for oil on your land and, if it is found, will kick you off your property and give you a couple of dollars to ease...

What you don't know is that if oil is found on your property, it won't be the gov't that found it. Living where I live, I don't know one property-owning person who hasn't commissioned a study to look for petroleum on their land, including my father, grandfathers, and numerous uncles/aunts and cousin...

Ahh. I only asked cuz the city of Dallas wanted to build a downtown park where a friend of my father has a building. They wanted to pay him about $500k, so he had a bunch of his friends sign leases on the property and did a bunch a clean-up work. Then the appraisal went up to about $3million and the...

Well then they should sue the state, because the gov't is supposedly required to pay fair market value. They should have been allowed to have their own appraisal done as well as the state's.

War Based on Lies and Torture as Policy are inaccurate at best, fabrications at worst. As for the rest of them, they are expressions of opinion.
