RhodeMAP RI is not only unnecessary, but it is wrong and scary. The redistribution of assets, income and property determined by the color of a person's skin disturbing to say the very least. To take away someone's hard earned money and/ or property to redistribute to a less motivated or even lazy individual is unconscionable. Does anyone really want the government telling them where to live and more importantly, how? The fact that this "plan" was devised and implemented without the taxpayers' or even elected officials' input speaks to it's nature, especially the well buried and hard to find appendix A, which after much searching, finally provided a manifesto as to how everything was to be implemented with a focus on a person's skin color. Not their, effort, not their education, not their motivation....simply by their color. Not everyone wants to live in "dense housing" with pooled community resources, including yard space to contain "suburban sprawl". The documents also speak to an all "inclusive" communities with shared common "greenspaces" and equal "opportunities" for all. That really does sound wonderful in theory,everyone of every culture living together in perfect harmony, the great American melting pot. However the reality is not everyone, and they shouldn't have to be wants to be thrown together with everyone else, nor should they have to be. Not everyone is willing to do the work involved for what they have. There are all kinds of people in the world, and our differences are what make us interesting as human beings. However, just like their are good people in the world, hardworking, loving, caring and charitable, there are bad people among us; lazy, greedy conniving, untrustworthy, criminal and downright evil . Do we really want our government telling us that we must live among and associate regularly with people who may do us harm, especially our children? Thieves? Killers? Rapists? Pedophiles? It is a disturbing thought, but more frightening is the fact that a small panel of unelected officials can determine who gets what, where, when and how. That very fact violates everything that we love, appreciate and enjoy as Americans. To say everything is going to be distributed by skin color and not merit....not the hard work put in in becoming, say, a doctor, or successful business woman and redistribute those hard-fought earnings to someone who desires to stay home and watch Jerry Springer and soap operas instead of getting a job, under the guise of equal "opportunity", is just Communist, criminal, violating, racist and just plain un-American.
