i'd bet your right lloyd, and I'd also bet when those existing poles that feed that guys house finally rott out they will not be replaced and the guy will have no power service to his property. the local REA wants me to drop service to my remote pasture because I am the only one on it for about 6 miles of line that they hate to maintain.

The first reported eminent domain case involved Naboths Vineyard. Noboth decided to contest the taking, as distinguished from contesting value.

Contesting the take can also be time consuming. Here is a case we have been watching since 2007.

Incidentally, it is "Eminent Domain".

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
A big question in my mind here is if this is for the public good or for the benefit of a single company. If for a single company then imminent domain is a more difficult justification.
Um, it makes a good story but they cannot take airspace away from individuals because they can't take away what was never theirs. The FAA claims that all airspace is under FAA authority and that no airspace is the domain of individuals. Individuals do not own or have private access even one foot of airspace above their property according to the FAA. Whether I agree that it should be that way is a separate discussion. (I do not agree BTW.) This has been a hot topic of discussion on RCGroups.com and throughout the RC community as new regulations and laws are being imposed on model aircraft operators. This isn't just department store toys. Lots of radio control flyers have many thousands of dollars invested in a single airplane. Think $5000 or more for a jet turbine engine in an airframe worth twice that, for a single engine jet. What the FAA is attempting to take away from modelers is access to the publicly owned airspace more than 400' above ground level. The consequence is that it renders sailplanes and large, expensive models useless.
