[Rhodes22-list] for Brad's eyes and those who reason only ...

John, you must have missed part of the discussion. Eminent domain is not 
exactly purchasing.

If it is, I've got a heck of a deal for you. I'll buy your boat from you 
at the price that I determine is fair, and you can chose to accept it or 
.... oh wait, that would be your only choice.

You do understand the implementation of eminent domain, right?

You need to study history a little closer. The trail of tears happened 
LONG after the founding fathers did their thing, you can't blame that 
one on them.
