[DeTomaso] NPC...You may want to Delete?

Agreed,

In fact, here in the land of the "Mormon tabernacle jazz choir" a
billionaire wanted to build an incredibly beautiful hotel.  He bought out
everyone on the block except one tiny flower shop.  The owner had been there
for decades and did not see why he should have to sell.  The billionaire
took him to court and lost at every level (state supreme court).  He then
went the eminent domain route with the city playing the part of the "heavy".
He lost again at every level.  Today there is a beautiful hotel that covers
almost the entire block, all except for one small corner that has a tiny
flower shop in an old building.  I think of it at a monument to the "little
guy"

The government stealing intellectual property from a company is just
un-American. Thousands of hands have worked on making those brands what they
are, and the company is the one that should benefit from that work. What you
are proposing would undermine our economic system as people wouldn¹t have
the protection to prosper from their ideas and labor.

I am against the eminent domain of homes as well. Especially when property
is turned over to private business. Building a freeway for the benefit of
citizens? Ok, maybe. But taking property so the local government can simply
generate more tax revenue for itself is just tacky.

My two pennies.

By the way, do I respond to all, or just detomaso at realbig.com when I want to
comment? Sorry, new here.  :-)
