Eminent Domain

I recently finished reading the book Little Pink House, which is a story of a neighborhood about to be taken by eminent domain. For those unfamiliar with the term, eminent domain is the government taking privately owned property for public use, such as building a road or a school. In this case, the land was intended to be turned over to a private company. The residents of the neighborhood sued the state, and made it to the Supreme Court in the case of Kelo vs. NLDC (New London Development Committee). However, the Supreme Court ruled that the land could be taken, since the company would pay more taxes to the city than the current owners, thus technically creating a public benefit.
My question is, should eminent domain really be used in this way? Should it be used at all?
Discuss.

I think this thread isn't as productive as it could be. I could use it for much better things than you could. Here[img139]http://gibc.typepad.com/toll_bridge_facts/images/sc2_1.jpg[/img139]is a court order granting me the right to the OP of this thread.



if you don't get it, this isn't a troll it's an example of how shockingly rediculous the idea is in the first place
