-- Nope, its just sad that your fixed view of libertarianism can't seem to cope with the realities of our constitutions principles.

The reality is that your constitutional "principles" have been subverted into the quagmire you see before you, and precisely because the absolute and inalienable nature of rights has been disregarded in favor of majority assertions of "common property".

'Common' property exists.

Da Kommrade

Eminent domain is a necessary evil in a finite world.

In other words, it's OK to steal if the majority says so.

Learn to live with them.

I will not learn to live peacefully with people who presume the moral authority to steal.

Nope, its silly to stick your head in the sand about unique facts of geography, like the Golden Gate.
We the people own it, and delegate to others its administration, so that everyone can peacefully use it..

No one 'stole' the golden gate from you.. Get a grip on reality.
