Property, The Forgotten Right

Most of us in America go about our daily lives not giving much thought as to whether or not our rights are being actively stripped away from us. Sure we may hear a tidbit on the radio while in transit, or catch a snippet on the local news about some poor schmuck who came up against the state and lost. But other than that we're just too busy living and planning and doing to notice or really care too much about what we have taken for granted over the last century.

It's funny how we're supposedly the "land of the free", where people come from all over the globe to realize their dreams, or at least live in relative peace and comfort while pursuing them. Yet many of the older immigrants from Europe and Russia will tell you if you ask, that we're repeating history hear in the good ol' U S of A, by creating precisely what they thought they were leaving behind.

That being said...

"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".  Isn't that the way it goes?

Well let's see...millions of lives snuffed out every year by abortions. So much for the "Life" part.
Millions more imprisoned and or otherwise ruined by myriad senseless laws and victimless crimes. So much for the "Liberty" part.
Then there's that "pursuit of happiness part".  The one that's often synonymous with "property".

This is the one that doesn't get much attention.  It doesn't because the "property" that's being denied most blatantly is not often reported in the news for fear of all of us urban dwellers putting 2 and 2 together and maybe stopping our 'living-planning-doing' lives long enough to pay attention.

"Property", in many many instances, is the most abused right, and the least protected.  But American Stewards is working on changing all of that county by county, and they're succeeding.  Much of what we hear in the media is based on certain assumptions that we blindly go along with, no questions asked.  We figure if it's being done, it must be right and legal. Or if it isn't, at least it's not happening to us right?

Property rights is a simple concept but a very complicated issue, and when it comes to what's happening in our counties, and why and how these things are done that we shake our heads at, it seems so monumental a task to satisfy our curiosity that we just don't bother.

So American Stewards has done a fantastic job of explaining what's been happening, how, and what's being done and taught throughout the country (mostly in the west) to educate property owners and citizens, and begin to turn this around one county at a time. So don't remain clueless if that's your case, there's too much good news from them to just ignore. Make it a part of your 'livin'-plannin'-doin' day.  It's news you'll like talking about. Especially if you have land or property.
