The pious abusers
When ever someone uses that phrase "the general good" I’m start checking how they intend to abuse my rights. This term is so often uses as an excuse to limits one freedoms and rights so someone else, usually the demagog using the "general good" meme will benefit from the plundering.
Therefore, and although I was glad about the progress we made in the last election - limiting the property robbery by the government in the name of the public good, we still need to be extra careful from:
Donald J. Borut, the executive director of the National League of Cities, acknowledged that condemnation powers are sometimes abused. But he said that property-rights groups have played to public fears in a way that discourages thoughtful discussion about how individual rights should be balanced against projects that benefit the community as a whole. He described anti-Kelo sentiment as “a huge emotional tsunami that’s been rushing through the country.”
Whenever someone preach about Eminent Domain you simply need to remember the Halpers.
