When was the last time anyone was involved in the decision to take land under emminent domain.

[/ QUOTE ]

Irrelevant. The people voted for representatives who then decided to exercise eminent domain.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't.

We have a representative government because it is impossible for every individual to have a say in every matter. The people did exercise eminent domain by giving the reps their proxy.

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, as long as eminent domain is only used against those who agreed to participate in that scheme, I have no objection.

Which is everyone who chooses to live here, since by their presence they agree to abide by all laws.
