Are you unable to have a discussion without being rude?

I wasn't being rude.

You, gave me an impossible standard to meet. "So many smart people" believe "x" while I believe "y". No other reason was discussed by you to back up your belief.

So I responded, saying what the "heck", how can I compete. That's rude? How so?

OK, let's start over. Based on everytrhing I've read so far about Kelo, where this Court departed from prior reasoning was that "public use" had meant things such as roads, parks, etc. Things managed by a public entity and used by the public. As I understand this decision, this Court went further by defining "public use" as "public benefit", i.e., we may take property from A and give it to B if the tax base is increased because of B's ownership, because a greater tax base equates with "public benefit".
