Thread Name: BS: Steal no More
Subject: RE: BS: Steal no More
As a premise for "Steal no More", Bert said:
we (people who did not originate from America) have stolen practically ALL of the land (Top side) of the land.
What line of reasoning suggests to you that only the "top side" of the land was stolen?
US law is the descendant of English common law, and, other things being equal, ownership of property includes whatever is above a given property and also below it, to the center of the earth. Sorry, Bert, but the underground assets you speak of were already stolen a long time ago. So you're about four hundred years too late.
