>Then we ask who was here originally - the Indians - and before them? And so on. Land ownership is historically the greatest cause of war. You got it - I want it. Now what am I willing to pay? A few trinkets, $ or war.

Land or some natural resource which ultimately leads back to land. While many wars have been fought in the "name of Religion", I would bet the underlying factor was still land.

>When land ownership is legitimized you are then taxed for its possession. What is really interesting is how the government can take away your land under eminent domain laws. Ownership of anything is always under attack as there is always someone out there that wants what you have.

Bad, bad, bad taxes! Taxes are a socialist/communist plot!

I don't much care for eminent domain either. Part of the aforementioned family farm in South Carolina was ruined when the State allowed the power company to string those massive power line structures and power lines through one side of the property.
