Okay, I'll admit that I am not very educated on this subject BUT I find the above statement very scary. You are arguing that the Gov't has the right to force people off there privately owned lands?!? Where does the Gov't obtain this authority? In other words, all land is actually owned by the Gov't. They are just allowing us to use it and can force us off at anytime? Very, very scary.
It's called "Eminent Domain," and yes, the government can take just about any land it wants, so long as a "public purpose" can be articulated, and pay you what it decrees is "just compensation." If you don't agree that the compensation that they are giving you is "just," you get to argue it in court in front of a judge that works for the government!
Talk about stacking the deck!
