It is criminal is what it is. This just shows you how far we have come to a totalitarian society.

Typical government-industrial BS. They'd rather have her out on the street than in a house that may not be warm enough to meet their standards. Can bureaucrats get any more stupid?

Well once she is on the streets the government can give her money so that she can have a place to live.

Stevens, 47, was trying to make ends meet by powering her home with solar panels and batteries for several months before Avondale code enforcement officials visited her on Dec. 10.

"We explained to her that the panels weren't enough to sustain a quality of life there," said Pam Altounian, code enforcement manager for Avondale.

Stevens said she was not given adequate notice before officials gave her 24 hours to contact Arizona Public Service Co. to reconnect electricity or her home would be condemned.


The mafia works the same way. They come to you and force you to 'buy their services'. In this case the state is working to make sure that the electric monopoly is maintained.

As in any land full of slaves, the rulers appoint the monopolies for maximization of their revenue and taxation from that revenue. They always use force to achieve their goal. There is no need for negotiation or compromise or anything when you use force - it's a fast easy way to a huge unearned paycheck.

It's also true of practically all other industries. The medical industry has teamed up with the state to make prescription of B17 illegal, so that doctors can continue to sell ridiculously overpriced chemotherapy sessions instead of ridiculously cheap blackberries and apricot seeds.

The idea is, where it would be tough to compete with existing industries, instead just use the power of government (force) to establish the need (or the requirement for participation in) a new industry. Why bother trying to compete with other industries when you can just create one that everyone is forced to buy into?

Why bother trying to compete with other insurance companies when you can just have the state enforce mandatory auto insurance and then set your prices as high as you want to? The state will even do it for a mere fraction of the profit in return.

Billions are spent each year maintaining lawns that feed no one, but almost all homeowners are forced to buy into this industry.

The medical hierarchy blocks life-saving drugs from being sold if the cost of the cure is less than the cost of current treatments (cancer). That would be the preservation of an archaic industry (chemo, surgery) to avoid moving onto cheaper technology (apricot seeds) and reducing the overall networth of the industry.

Even the prohibition of certain substances removes many cheap medicinal values and leaves in their place exorbitantly expensive pharmaceuticals.

The entity which makes all these monopolies possible, the state, is the same entity which is willing to murder you in order to take your labor from you (taxation). It is the same entity which can print up all the fake money it could ever possibly need, yet still shakes the pennies from your pockets every workday.

Without a group of people who use force to achieve their ends, without the state, no monopoly is possible. It's the state that would condemn the residence for not buying electricity from the state's business partner "friendly electric company". It's the state that would kidnap children at gunpoint if the family chose to live in a "condemned" house. Only the state can crush solar power and safeguard the current grid monopoly.

Probably the worst part of it is, your tax dollars pay the interest for the loans that make all this possible. In no way does the state ever pay for anything itself. It makes you pay for your own enslavement.

Incase anyone may be thinking that this long rant is leading to some kind of solution, guess again. That's the quadrillion dollar question right there. How do you stop someone who holds a gun to your head? I really just wanted to rant.

You give up. Just pay for everyones mortgage.

Give them all the free money that they can handle.


Put the freakin' printing presses into hyperdrive and watch what happens.

What does anyone expect from McCain's home state. I feel for this woman and wish her well.

I know a guy in New Mexico that just solar powered his house and a solar power inspector just came out to approve it and he is currently waiting for a power company (monopoly) inspector to come out and put his seal of approval on it. He said during the first test that he jumped up and down when he saw the wheel rotating to the left sending power back into the grid.

People who give power to code enforcement, get the kind of government they deserve.

There are not many details to this story but it does not convince me that she is being oppressed. What was the rest of the condition of her property? Who else was living there? Just because she had solar panels does't mean something mean there was some other issue worth red-tagging the house.

It doesn't prove the city was right either, but you have to post more info with solid references before you can make a case out of this.
