In fact, things have gotten out of all of our hands. Concerning our private property, it is true that a few folks still believe there is such a thing. There really isn't. At least there is no private property the way men usually believe it or express it. The only owner of land today is the state.
Federal land is all there is.
Let us consider why I might make such a radical statement. I think it is something like that. Of course, we can all see the reason behind the laws which do not permit someone to use his property to intentionally harm someone else, but I am not writing concerning that. I know of no citizen who has the right to do fully what he wishes with his property. What we have these days is the right to do with the land what the federal government says we may do with it.
