It's theft even when you call it eminent domain

The passengers of Flight 93 gave their lives to prevent it from reaching its intended target. Their families and the National Park Service are celebrating their sacrifice by stealing the land where the plane crashed for a memorial.
The government will begin taking land from seven property owners so that the Flight 93 memorial can be built in time for the 10th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks, the National Park Service said.
There is no difference between a robber stealing a pedestrian's wallet at gunpoint and this. It's theft even when the government does it.

H/T to Uncle.
