My last post was eaten by the server :(

Keystone XL. I've heard that it will through lands of indigenous peoples. Do you know whether they have given consent? Or is this another example of government benefiting big business at the expense of individuals?

Good thread: )

Where did you here that?  I'm interested to know.  I googled it, but couldn't find anything.

Eminent domain (government use of force) is being utilized over land owners (not necessarily just indigenous people):
