Yes, I am continuously baffled by how endlessly tiny our collective horizon is, and that the struggle, by all evidence, seeks to diminish it, not expand it. Makes me think that we are puny, stuck up and misguided creatures. Present company excluded.

Thanks Joefromchicago. You answered my question just fine.
I was pretty much teasing you: seeing if you are a rebel against the laws or a good law-abiding citizen Surprised

I love exploring this question of ownership. Here where I'm at (Manitoba, Canada) there are different laws (now real sure about with regards to oil though). There are even different laws depending on your race (are you part of a First Nations community? Well, you can enjoy different laws concerning ownership.

Also, I have been working in a homeless shelter. Many of these people are 'professional squatters' who have been kicked out of their homes.

I'd be interested to hear what people think of ownership in regards to property.

It's been done to death flushd.

It's simple.Property is what the government says it is.What that is shifts from gov't to gov't.And from situation to situation.
