Much trouble ensued with the Europeans enforcing their idea of what "the law" should be in these cases.<br />Similarly Native Americans were quick to sell vast stretches of land<br />because it was literally money for nothing as far as they were concerned.<br />I would have thought the same primitive logic applies to the land market: if somebody has spent time and money rendering swamp land habitable of cultivable, you would have to compensate the improver for the improvements- but nothing else.DBC Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891849727783879145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-51411518639508936622016-12-28T23:26:09.356+00:002016-12-28T23:26:09.356+00:00@ Din

Maybe something lost in the translation?<br /><br />@ DBC<br /><br />How would they know if you've been using it? Would they need a "Not Using It" Police Force? <br /><br />Using or not using something is as equally silly as a justification for property rights. Although this is what plenty of Americans do regarding their foundation myth.<br /><br />benjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544297406005346095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-43447965767449420742016-12-28T22:35:40.395+00:002016-12-28T22:35:40.395+00:00I would have thought that if you had made somethin...I would have thought that if you had made something, this would be your property. Some peoples go so far as to say if you had made something but did n't use it, you have lost your rights in it.DBC Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891849727783879145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-79212972441261701572016-12-28T20:30:20.066+00:002016-12-28T20:30:20.066+00:00the contra points have an internal self contadicti...the contra points have an internal self contadiction. point 3 that in the context is a self contadiction.Dinerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632385731642361211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-12768376258876888142016-12-28T09:31:19.531+00:002016-12-28T09:31:19.531+00:00I tried to explain this to the FCA following their...I tried to explain this to the FCA following their 'bright idea' called the RDR. Essentially the RDR was an assault on the property rights of law abiding wealth creating citizens. It was also an assault on the sanctity of private contract - which are essential to 'property rights'.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586735342675041312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-19042857828581612082016-12-28T08:46:59.782+00:002016-12-28T08:46:59.782+00:00Agreed.

Which is why the Homeys have twisted our language and use the word "property" exclusively for "land and buildings".Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-53514231793147728202016-12-28T08:32:46.072+00:002016-12-28T08:32:46.072+00:00We all know the property rights people are referri...We all know the property rights people are referring to when they talk about the foundation of civilization are absolute rights in ownership of land... ;) ThomasBHallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998362261169422976noreply@blogger.com
