They both brought up good points.  If they'd have a discussion (without bashing eachother) I think it would be very interesting.

Honestly, I can't say which is worse.
Emminent domain violates property rights.
Patriot Act violates the fourth amendment.

vote and discuss (discussion open to all members by the way)

okay, I have to wonder now, is this actually a partisan thing.  We (mostly) all agree both are bad, but Democrats think the Patriot Act is worse and Republicans think emminent domain is worse?  And if it is a partisan thing, then why?

Besides, most people would be happy to see freedom and individual rights eliminated.

I disagree, I think people are way too complacent about it.  They don't pay much mind to it, until it personally affects them, and then when it does, they rarely try to change it because they're lazy.  They don't like it, but they're too damn lazy to care much about it.
