Is it unfair? Yes.
But as the Right loves to point out so often on these boards life is unfair.

This isn't about roads or utilities -- this is about abusing a law (meant purely for necessities like the previously mentioned) and using it to benefit a private company. As pro-business as I am, golf courses and office buildings are NOT necessities for the "public good" and using eminent domain in order to get cheap land for your buddy the contractor is beyond wrong. I really don't understand how some people can defend this abuse of power by the government and scream and shout about ANWR oil-drilling.
