Should projects involving eminent domain require citizen approval?

No, projects involving eminent domain should NOT require citizen approval.

I think that when anda let people have input in cases where eminent domain is being used, anda undermine the use of eminent domain.
Eminent domain should only be used when it benefits the public good. Undermining that rule would damage the public good. Like stated before, people hardly think about the public good when it is about their own stuff.

People are often emotional in these cases: they want to keep their property even though they get a just compensation. However, like a wise man once berkata "... logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".

Eminent domain usually only affects one atau a few persons atau family's. Why should the entire town atau city have something to say about that?
I think this will cause a lot of projects unable to continue just because the person who is affected is good at winning votes.
A person who is affected but not so good in winning votes, will not get enough vote against the project.
Votin turnouts for the presidental election have been around link for a long time. Will even half of the people who will be able to, vote for an affair that does not directly affect them?
I think most people who will vote in these things are the people who are affected oleh it atau those who sympathise with those people.
How representative will these results be?
This does not make eminent domain any lebih fair, on the contrary.
And it costs time and money which makes government projects even lebih expensive.

People who have a problem when eminent domain is going to affect them can already make their objections known. A judge will decide wether atau not the eminent domain is legal and in the interest of the public.
This is a law that already exists: then let it be carried out as effective as possible.

I was wondering something. What do anda people think? Is war really neccesary? In my own opinion, I think it is not.
My religion is Christian, so, duh, I believe in God! Well, if anda don't then maybe... ah never mind! I think God put everyone on Earth for him. He wants people to live for God and get along with each other to score Heaven. Hell is only worthy if anda do not fufill God's commands.
In the harsh struggle to live in WAR, people are killing others.
I am NOT a hippie, but I believe war is murder and thanks if anda are in the service for risking your life for America, but anda are also...

 How does God speak to you?
How does God speak to you?
Behind the menit laws and rules of a book like Leviticus, are principles which hint at what God is like. He is a Holy God who must be taken seriously. People of that time (and a lot of today's people) had the habit of inventing and discarding gods as they felt like it. God declares that He alone is the true God, worthy of all worship. In one sense what God ultimately demands -- OBEDIENCE -- has not changed since Old Testament days. But God teaches the Israelites much as a parent must teach a young child -- with dozens of clearly spelled-out rules.
 Time alone to speak with God is essential.

 Do anda have the patience?
Do you have the patience?
In the Old Testament God begins with a single couple, Adam and Eve. He puts them in a perfect world with certain rules to obey. They flunk! The first eleven chapters of Genesis mostly record one failure after another. God punishes Adam and Eve, destroys the world with a massive flood, and smashes a misguided rebellion at the tower of Babel.
God reaches down and selects a man named Abraham, to whom He gives some extraordinary promises. He promises that Abraham's descendants will some hari become as numerous as sand on a beach, and that they will grow to become a mighty nation with their own land....

You do not have to read too far into the Bible to see it is unlike any other book out there. It is not a tightly-woven story like a novel, atau a systematic daftar like a textbook. It includes a diverse batch of styles: poetry, history, sermons, dramatic stories, and letters.
Some people dip right into specific buku like Leviticus atau 1 Chronicles and soon give up in confusion. They do not understand why such material is important to them. To appreciate what God is saying to us, it's important to know the whole sweep of the Bible.
In the 1st place, the Bible is not one book -- it's an entire library,...

I cinta the constitution so much that if they were selling shirts that berkata "I <3 The US Constitution" I would buy it in a heartbeat. I was that girl who walked around campus with a pocket-sized US Constitution in her purse, because, well, anda never know when you'll need to quote a two hundred tahun old document at someone, right?

But there was another document in my purse, too, a lebih baru saja one. This one was based on the US Declaration of Independence, and influenced oleh Thomas Jefferson's contemporaries like Thomas Paine, who themselves were influenced oleh older documents like the English...
