      You say "nasty right" then go on to appear to support the idea of forcing property owners to sell. Nasty left!

      I'm only half joking. P.J. O'rourke's has a chapter called 'Why I'm Right' in his book 'Don't Vote! It just encourages the Bastards', I found it helped with a similar attitude I used to have.

      This reminds me of a funny book title: "Don't Vote - It Just Encourages the Bastards" [0]
