<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2243698, member: 73555&quot;]Now I am curious.&nbsp; How secure is the holding of land by the poor, in countries where the rule of law has been shaky for decades?&nbsp; Certainly the Japanese of World War II confiscated what they pleased, creating thousands of refugees with no recourse.</p><p><br /></p><p>So much the worse if you can&#039;t read and write.&nbsp; I never thought about land holding before.&nbsp; Take the concept to our European ancestors - when did the poor begin to own their land, as opposed to serfdom and/or renting from the crown or noble grantees or the Church?&nbsp; And how did they ever acquire enough funds to buy <i>anything</i>?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
