I disagree with you completely and totally here David! You oughta think more on the nature of "property".
Check out _The Property Status of Airwaves_ by Ayn Rand in _Capitalism, The Unkonwn Ideal_ There's absolutely no difference between "real estate", something like "oil" or "gold" or indeed "intellectual property" or say "frequencies". >What is so outrageous about 'paying rent for the priviledge of ... >land'? > >You did not produce land On the very contrary, I did! Or someone did, whom I bought it from. Unproductive unusued land BECOMES property because a human works on unused material resources, and turns wilderness into civilized settlement. >or its rent, the right to exclue others from >it is a government granted priviledge !!! On the contrary, several property is a natural right. Correct government just exists to help provide eg police to protect yoru natural rights. You might as well say "oh, life and liberty is just something government grants you" I urge you to think it through! In the near future, it will be very simple for people to build islands, outside of current national jurisdictions. There is only ONE TYPE of property -- intellectual property. The works of the mind. Real Estate is very much intellectual property. --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
