I thought Americans loved Eminent Domain. After all they used it to acquire most if not all lands taken from the American Indians. Of course later in California, they paid us for it at 25 cents an acre. Seems the shoe is on the other foot now. How ironic.

Without the existance of a government there could've been no eminent domain.

^^^^^^^Of course later in California, they paid us for it at 25 cents an acre.^^^^^^^^^^^

And did they accept or refuse that price?

That's funny. My chain of title goes back to 1492 when the locals thought they were renting a campground for a day for twelve cents but it turned out to be twelve million square miles forever. It's right there in the fine print.
