In case your day is going well, check out this story at *[The Telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/05/27/wpolder27.xml&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)* about the European Union's plans to forcibly take land from a farming couple, so the EU can create more wetlands. Excerpt:

> A photograph of a grinning boy, riding a toy tractor, has pride of place in the kitchen of Aarnout and Magda de Feijter, the owners of a 148-acre farm in the Dutch province of Zeeland.

> The picture is of their first grandson, Louis, and the de Feijters have always dreamed that he will one day take over the expanse of wind-rippled flax fields that has been in their family since 1835.

> But there are other plans. In the name of European Union environmental directives, their farm is earmarked for flooding - the first time in Holland's centuries-long battle against water that a substantial piece of land is to be deliberately returned to the sea.

> Some 230 years after its flat pastures were wrested from the waters, the de Feijters' farm - their home for 33 years - is to be re-flooded to reverse the disappearance of Zeeland's mudflats and salt marshes.
