You obviously have no roots in your home or your town. Money obviously means more to some people than anything.

I do have roots. But what happens when you cannot win against an Eminent Domain enactment? Barracade your house? Shoot at the wrecking ball crew? Man, here's what I get for being realistic. I have had friends who had to move for highway widenings, train tracks, malls, airports, and highways. It sucks. But getting 200% of the value of your home makes it a little less painful.

Those projects are not for profit projects for corporations. Eminent domain was never meant for corporations or private individuals to use to take property from people.

No. One kills the city Manager and the local Costco officials.After setting up plausible deniability.

Better to die like a man upon your feet than lick the boots of your tormentor. I'm wondering if you'd have let the Redcoats occupy your home in 1776. It's a good thing we didn't have your types at Lexington.
