What I was getting at was that if I felt the government actually needed my land, I would probably not contest ED. But if it wasn't going to be used for some extremely good purpose I would not care to part with it. Some of my family's land has been in the family for over 150 years and I'll be damned if they thing they are going take it away involuntarily, payment or not.

I understand and sympathize with your position.

Not to sound like a hippie here, but what I was implying was that the land used to belong to natives on this continent. I'm not sure if the US history is quite as bad as Canada's, but we essentially stole the country and refuse to live up even to the wildly unfair treaties that we did sign.

Personally I think it is acceptable as long as the government thinks it will benifit most of the citizens.

Example:

Your business/home located where the city thinks a grocery store would benifit the most people, they should be able to use ED and take your land from you.

To seize controle of assets of large companies who are providing services such as electricity.

Can somebody please confirm this fools identity and re-ban him.

this seems like a legit question/topic. why should he be banned?

Not ban... re-ban. DVK916

He does sound a lot like that idiot.

See my thread in forum issues. I should add to it.

Starts religion flame threads... Cali>* comments... "How could you possibly live in Ak"... And of course, totally ignores anyone who calls attention to this stuff. I'm waiting for him to talk about his Fenix Fox.

What was he banned for in the first place?

That's what I can't remember. I remember he went on a religious flame-fest and disappeared but I can't remember if he was banned. Of course, if he wasn't banned, why come back as UCDAggies?

Mods could clear this up pretty quick. Was DVK916 banned or did he just go away?

He was banned for one too many atheistic flame threads. This baninzing was most enjoyable. Good work by the mods..surprised I haven't seen it pop up in a quote yet.
