51. The solution, then, is to make land seizures economically and politically costly.
Edited on Wed Nov-25-09 01:22 PM by sofa king
By fighting them tooth and nail in the courts, and then by fighting it out in local elections, then by dismantling the mechanisms by which corporations can bribe local governments into exercising eminent domain.

If the town councils face recall and defeat as a result of their land-snatching, they're certain to determine that "eminent domain" clearly lies in their safe reelection, rather than stealing land.
