Wrong again. I did not propose 'bigger government,' nor did I offer a 'solution' to alterations of eminent domain law.
I merely said that it there are valid reasons for it to be as it's been, and that corporate corruptions of government do not mean the answer is to remove the protections of *government* as though the problem is us having a government of, by, and for the people, instead of who insists they have the right to *buy* it.
You claim that not wanting to *remove* a right through our government is the same thing as wanting to 'make government bigger.'
This is untrue.
Quote: As you expend the government you expand it's power. As you expand it's power the more attractive it is for business to "get into bed with it". What results is the unholy joining of business and politics. The solution, limit government's size and reduce it's power over the people. Simples.
Simple, but based on false premises. Again.
My clothes may not be brand-new, but do I *look* like I'm something you made of straw?

I mean, hey, if the law's starting to look *bigger,* maybe it's just cause it ain't been seen so close up in your neighborhood for a while.
