At one time, a corporation tried to use the local government to claim Emmient Domain over the farmhold so they could then buy it up cheap. Emmit is a master of chicanery. (Among other things). He had the politician and CEO involved have visions...whenver they started with the paper work, it would trigger a vision where every word they wrote to claim the hold would cut the word into the flesh of their loved ones, who would scream, begging them to stop, as whole paragraphs sliced into bloody red script along arms and foreheads and down faces narrowly missing eyeballs. They changed their minds.
