God, Michael, you don't half harp on about this. Yes we know that people possess legal titles to land. Once upon a time it was legal to hang peasants for sheep stealing too. Just read what we're saying. Forget legal. Think moral. Consider that nobody ever made the land. Consider that what we call the land is a shallow interface 'twixt Heaven and Hades. Do you want the landowners to be able to claim the atmosphere right up to the Van Allen belts and the ground right down to the Moho? Reread Stu's post, properly this time. You can claim land if you're big and strong but you can't own it because it's everybody's and not yours to own. Why? Because you didn't make it, and your ancestors had no authority to usurp it, just raw power. You can be the custodian of a fair share of it, even call yourself the owner of it you really want to, but that comes with responsibilities. That's allowed, morally. If you are in charge of more than your fair share then you should be given sharp incentives to offload it. The pheasants and the grouse would just have to put up with it.
