Do You Reallly Own Anything Except Toilet Paper?

However, Britannica does a far better job of defining "ownership:" "the legal relation between a person (individual, group, corporation, or government) and an object. The object may be corporeal, such as furniture, or completely the creature of law, such as a patent, copyright, or annuity; it may be movable, such as an animal, or immovable, such as land. Because the objects of property and the protected relations are different in every culture and vary according to law, custom, and economic system and the relative social status of those who enjoy its privileges, it is difficult to find a least common denominator of "ownership." Ownership of property probably means at a minimum that one's government or society will help to exclude others from the use or enjoyment of one's possession without one's consent, which may be withheld except at a price." [2] Now we have something more definitive to look at. It describes a "legal relationship" between a person and an object which can be anything like an intangible or non-physical asset such as a patent or intellectual property, to having real estate. It's interesting the phrase "creature of law," which seems to imply law has a life of it's own. But for ownership, it is the law that defines what you are and are not allowed to own. Some things come and go in popularity. For example, ammonium nitrate isn't a material anyone should brag about owning. A large volume of it can bring on a storm trooper visit from the men in the black suits. The last phrase indicates that ownership isn't a certainty, by stating that "probably" the government or society will defend your right to ownership by excluding use by others. Certainly no one can own the simple right to privacy anymore. That wasn't just recently taken away, but it happened decades ago. The government is just now getting around to let you know this, and how good it is for you. What's quite fascinating about all this is how money makes it possible to do illegal acts - legally! For example, going fishing or hunt without a license. Sooner or later a you'll hear a voice behind you in the woods saying, "Game warden - let me see your license." Having a license for anything - whether it be driving a car, hunting, fishing, boating or many other activities will make that illegal act OK! Makes perfect sense, right? So what does this have to do with ownership? Actually, quite a bit. Because the common denominator for both licenses AND owning anything is the use of money to pay for all licenses. No other means of payment will be accepted. And that money of course, is the infamous Federal Reserve Note. Remember that although the note states "legal tender for all debts..." it absolutely doesn't mean that anyone else can pay a debt in full simply by handing someone a note. A "note" implies debt. Period. The privately run "Federal Reserve" has illegally been given the right to do this against Constitutional law, which has created this defacto standard way of creating money out of nothing more than rags, special paper and thin air. http://www.rense.com/general73/toilep.htm
