Is it as obvious to you as it is to me that there is a link between
the recents attacks on the public via eminent domain are related in
a close manner to the recents attacks via the public domain???

What appears to be happening is an organized effort to deprive us the
public of their rights, both in terms of property of the "real estate
variety" and property of the "intellectual property variety."
Powers that have been with the public since time immemorial now being
diverted, inverted, perverted to give the state more power at expense
of the public.
This gives a whole new meaning to "The Tragedy of the Commons," as it
moves from commonly held property to personally held property, each in
the case of property rights that have been handed down from generation
to generation longer than any of these goverment offices have existed.
