Cloudsweeper99: You're right...they don't fall into that category. But you're talking about the legal aspect, which I don't dispute. I, too, believe that this is an inalienable right, but to exercise our "rights" doesn't mean that it's "right."
Believe me...nobody believes in the rights of personal property more than I do, but I'm not talking about legal rights. I'm talking about a greater good.
We "own" things only in the respect that we have physical possession of them, backed by the laws of the state, as long as we are here. Nobody can take these physical goods with them beyond this life. They must remain here. And, as long as we are blessed with this gift, we ought to do our best to preserve it.
That's just one man's beliefs.
Will I tell you that you should feel the same way? Yes.
Can I force you to act in the same manner? No.
Will I attempt to force you to believe what I believe? No.
You may do as you wish. But, if you destroy that which can be left to the next generation, I personally think it's shameful.
