Current Events » in reply to Eminent domain itself isn't the main issue.

PS

I have never liked eminent domain as a practice, nor do I think that expanding its use to include public taking for private groups is a good thing. But the law is what it is; only the people can change it.

I have learned from experience that, in regard to the law and government action in a democracy, the people will get what they want if they are willing to apply their effort and their intelligence. If they aren't willing to work for what they want, they wind up with the profits of their laziness. If we wish to delegate our rights away, we have no cause to be surprised if those of us with more focused objectives, such as the acquisition of money or power, step in to pick those rights up.
