Most people will never be affected by an eminent domain proceeding

Now what does that matter? Most northerners weren't affected by slavery either.

What does it matter? Try having a revolution that's unpopular with the folks around you. It won't work. My point is that talking about revolution over this issue is stupid. It's not going to happen. How about talking about specific ways to stop eminent domain in your city or state?

Talk to local, regional, state, and national lawmakers and insist that they pass laws prohibiting such actions. Duh. The Supreme Court did not say that laws could not be passed prohibiting such eminent domain actions.

You want to actually do something, instead of talking nonsense? Then start moving toward laws prohibiting such eminent domain seizures. Then you can actually do something instead of flapping your gums or pounding on your keyboard.

That's what I'm working on. But blather away, if you choose.

Virginians weren't directly affected by the British response to the Boston Tea Party (punish the WHOLE city of Boston instead of the few individuals involved). However, they quickly realized that the British actions in Boston could quickly become the British actions in Virginia.

We need a few more Patrick Henry's! Let's all go meet at St. John's church in Richmond!
