I think you should own the land that your house stands on. As for your garden and your farm, or whatever, you have the right to occupy that land (as long as you didn't forcibly drive someone else off it first) because you have tended it, drained it, cultivated it and generally improved it. I don't advocate anarchy. Somebody made your guitar, you maybe, or you paid money to the person who made it (ultimately). But land is different, because you can't make it, and John Seymour's principle is that you can earn the right to occupy land to make your living from it, or get pleasure from it, as long as you don't occupy more than your fair share (he made suggestions as to what that should be, according to the quality of the land) and as long as you are a good steward. That sounds like a good start.
