quickly realizing that america isn’t based on equality or economic opportunity – it’s based on protection of property and the aforementioned sentiments are only used when it’s convenient to serve the latter. i have no problem with personal property, but i care more about individual respect for property rather than codified protection of it and think the whole notion of personal property is extremely dubious given that so much of the property that has been aquired has been done so through highly unethical means.
