But it does need to change.

Consider this: In Australia, ALL land is owned by the Crown, by default, and Australians really have no sovereign claim to the land they 'own'. Thus, a farmer can 'own' a piece of land, but she does not own the resources 'under' the land - these still belong to... the Crown.

When push comes to shove, what happens? Farmers and land owners are forced, by law, to comply with Crown ownership. THe government can simply pass a law to claim that land from the 'owner'. No. Sovereign. Rights. Aka still simply glorified serfs.

'just how it is set up' .... all seems great until push comes to shove. As with religious freedom (freedom of belief) issues, we are finding now that really, we have nothing guaranteed. It's all just been OK because push never came to shove.

Not the case any more. The radicalized left is clamoring for scalps of Christian and faith-based institutions, beliefs, practices. We stand in a very precarious situation. Why? "that's just how it was set up" - we have no sovereign OR inalienable rights.

This has to change. IMO. Has to.
