I'm not against eminent domain, but I am against the use of eminent domain to condemn property and turn around and give it to a department store. Don't you see the difference? If this land were to be used for an army base, I don't think I would have objection to it.

I apologize; I wasn't clear. I totally agree with you. I was just making a general statement and used your post because you brought up the fact that people don't really "own" property is such government restrictions are in place. Its my experience, though, that many people who despise eminent domain have no problem with other government powers that essentially remove personal ownership from property - especially property tax.
