But lets look at the debate that started all of this. Eminent Domain. Eminent domain is the forcable taking of property by the Government to satisfy some other interest, in this case usually buisness. IS that not oppression? Is our Government not being tyranical for allowing such a practice to continue? Is that not using force to influence one group in favor of another?

But I asked for you to define it and for you to find examples. I can even find examples of tyrants in today's world, and dicators, autocrats, take your pick.sigpic
