| | Imminent domain?!?!? < on 2/16/2007 4:27 AM >
| | | Yea, that's what Roane County calls it when they rezoned and seized several property owners' land acreage off I-40 for the purpose of giving it to H.T. Hackney to build a warehouse on several years ago. Most of the land was a farm that had been in the hands of a local family for over 200 years. Well, they've done it again, this time to the owner of Atomic Speedway, also right next to I-40 westbound. This time the land is going to Crete, a multimillion dollar trucking company that is expected to bring tons of revenue into Roane County. What are they going to do to my all-time favorite dirt oval?? Demolish it, of course! Expect some pics from me this weekend, as they've already shut it down.

Kabbalah is an undramatic tradition that requires great patience and stability. One of the reasons for this tempo is that everyone has to mature his potential gradually and thoroughly at his natural pace. In this way his life's work unfolds at the right moment in his own and the cosmos's time. Z.B.S. Halevi -- Kabbalah |

There is one very significant difference between the US and Canada.. in Canada, the Queen still owns all the land. In the USA, individuals own the land. (/former land use planner in the US, current land use planner in Canada)

| | | Since we're speaking english, I think I'll go with Merriam-Webster's spelling/definition... Main Entry: eminent domain Function: noun Date: 1738 : a right of a government to take private property for public use by virtue of the superior dominion of the sovereign power over all lands within its jurisdiction Any way you cut it, it usually doesn't work out for the original land owner... -tarr

| | | a) I knew of the Canadian counterpart, but am surprised to learn that in the United States it can actually be seized because the township wants a Wal-Mart or some other private establishment. That's complete bullshit in my mind, how does the "land of the free" stand by for that? Honestly, that's fucked up. If it's for a government facility, sure, we all acknowledge we sometimes have to kowtow to the government...but kowtowing to big business? That's a choice, not an obligation. b) I highly doubt George Bush has anything to do with it, so shush.

| | | Arlington TX just displaced a couple of low income neighborhoods and several hundred residents through eminent domain just so Jerry Jones would have a place to build his new Dallas Cowboy Stadium. And on top of that the taxpayers will have to pay for half the stadium and he only pays for half! Guess who makes all the profits? Some local hotels and restaurants get some of the side effect profits but, yeah.
