Common Sense and Wonder has a story about one of my hot buttons, emminent domain. The whole concept ought to be utterly anathema to anyone who believes in property rights. The idea that someone could come, knock on your door, and say, "Here's what we consider to be the fair market value of your home, now get out, we need a Wal-Mart" is abhorrent to me. I know, emminent domain is supposed to be used for public works and not just for stealing property to give to developers, but it's so often abused that it needs to be abolished or (at a minimum) seriously reworked.
Anyway, CSaW (That's cool... see-saw, CSaW... Ha!) recommends donating money to the Institute for Justice in response. It's certainly a worthy cause.
UPDATE: In searching through the site, I found the button you now see on my sidebar. Donate!
