[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Dude, [i]ownership society.[/i] Snark aside, it's easy to construct an argument wherein it is in the public good for Company X to put down a critical piece of infrastructure, whether its economic, some utility, or so on. Say, if everyone needed a zombie defense wall where your house was, I'm not sure I see the distinction between the government taking the land to build one itself and taking it to sell to Zombie Defense Contractors, Ltd. I can't be bothered to read the actual decision and dissenting opinions (thus putting me in good company with the majority of commentators and pundits, I imagine), but I think any problems thus described with the law are with either the very concept of eminent domain or with the methodology used to determine public use. But we're well convinced, here in the U.S., at least institutionally, that the private sector can constitute a public good. [/QB][/QUOTE]
