That's not the point. When one private citizen can use government for force another private citizen to sell his property against his will, we're striking at the cornerstone of our freedom regardless of the settlement price.

Vlad ... couldn't agree more, but what does this have to do with WalMart. It seems the problem is the politicans in Alabaster and their misuse of eminent domain.

If Wal-Mart had any business ethics at all, they wouldn't have accepted the deal in Alabaster and other places where they have brazenly usurped the property rights of private citizens. If something is wrong, it's wrong, even if it's something done by an individual or group that we don't support. Most of the people on this forum, including myself, greatly admire and support George W. Bush, but we're not crazy about some of the things he's done, such as immigration and Campaign Finance Reform. That's one of the major differences between the Left and us. We point out things with which we disagree, while they drink the Kool-Aid.
