Eminent domain is not theft. It is a legally defined practice in most legal systems.

  Well, it's still theft of the "depriving the owners of their belongings" variety. It's just that the groups that can do eminent domain tend to both have guns and be in charge of the local legal system. Which means they get to define the rules and make up their own name for when its them doing the thieving. ;)

    But you understand that as it is an aspect of the legal system, and one that is usually defined higher in the legal hierarchy that it can't be a thing that is defined later, right? You shouldn't misuse words like you're intentionally doing. Why not go all the way and call it rape or something.
