John Wilson, a 20-year member of Long Island's 175-acre Deepdale Golf Club, established in 1955, is mad as hell that the nearby exclusive village of North Hills, N.Y., wants to seize the venerable club through eminent domain -– not for a road or a public hospital, but to use as its own community golf course.Eminent domain is nothing more than large scale theft of property.
Wilson is just one of many Americans who have discovered that the traditional concept of eminent domain -– which allows government to appropriate property for public use -– has been turned upside down by recent court rulings and greedy government officials.
