It's a backslide to the weekend!

It's Wednesday, and I'm backsliding to the weekend!

The question of the day is: Should the government be able to take your land through eminent domain for a shopping mall? How about a condo complex?

My answer is a resounding NO! If the government pays a fair price for land that is then used for a roadway, or public infrastructure, that's all well and good. However, to abuse it's powers to turn that property over to developers smells to high heaven. I can think of no rational explanation for allowing this to happen, and how the court system can justify this greed is beyond me.
