(and I am grateful you do, because I am at a TOTAL loss!)

How does the law that Vilsack vetoed change things? If in the end the hold-out land owner still ends up losing their land (but at least is fairly or even above fairly compensated) why wouldn't we be passing laws that continue to put the most power in the hands of the land owner?

I still don't understand why corporations need protection or assistance from the government against an individual.

I know I'm being redundant, and I don't mean to be, I just don't get it. I get the desire of new business or new industry coming into an area, and I get the desire of the community to do all it can to attract the business. But at what cost? What is next? Wal-Mart REALLY wants to build where Terrace Hill is, so let's tear it down dammit (Okay, overboard there, but my point is where do we stop?)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your patience in explaining all of this to me - my husband won't even talk to me about it any more! x(
