This sort of thing bothers me alot. Property rights are very important.

I value property rights also. I also feel that some uses of eminent domain are legitimate. Utilities are vitally important. Life as we know it will cease with out electricity, it is as necessary as food and water.

Yep and we should allow the utilities to put their towers anyplace they wish right.

And we won’t have food or water with out electricity.

I believe that in some instances eminent domain is valid also. And for all I know this is one of them. When folks start showing up on your property, it gets rather personal.

Re property rights. Just wait until they start the Super Highway in Texas. You will find that you have no property rights.

while I agree that limited eminent domain has a purpose, I wonder how these people are surviving without electricity till the lines are run???
