So, you are suggesting that the Government use eminent domain to take people's property? Good luck with that. There are many other areas where the same argument can be made. I don't see it happening there either.

Loss of lives, property, homes, devastation, flooding, etc. not to mention billions of dollars in relief funds can be avoided by some clear, innovative thinking.
