It has always amused me to hear people talk about how the government can't take things from you without due compensation. That's been a lie since government started...

Friends of the family, growing up, had some really nice land for an ammunition terminal during WWII. There was some chicanery about how it was chosen, because there was plenty of other land along the Columbia River that might have been used, and which would have been better choices for siting. However, they were immigrant Finns, weren't connected in with the local power structure, and it was their land that got taken. They weren't paid for it, either--Just shoved off it. Land was used for an ammunition terminal up until the 1960s, when it was "declared surplus" and sold to one of the local port authorities. By that time, the husband was dead, due to the stress of trying to fight all this, and the wife was living in much reduced circumstances. Their land had been a fairly prosperous dairy, and the family home was still standing when they sold the land to the port authority, but they wouldn't even let her have the tiny parcel with the family home on it that her husband had built himself.

Whole thing was a travesty, from start to finish. Lots of that crap went on--And, still does. You don't have property rights in this country, you've got temporary permission to use their land, and if it's convenient to them, they'll take it from you.
