We Are Losing Our Freedom

Big Government posted a story today about U.S. Army Specialist Mark Grapin, who lives in Fairfax County, Virginia. He recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq and decided to build a treehouse for his sons. The Fairfax Country Zoning Board demanded that he tear down the treehouse after an anonymous complaint. After Specialist Grapin went to the media, an online petition was started, and Specialist Grapin was able to convince the Zoning Board to allow him to leave the treehouse up for five years.

I’m glad he got to keep the treehouse for five years, but it bothers me that one person might have stopped his children from the fun of playing in their treehouse.
