Mike, would you please expound a couple of sentences worth on what you
understand as "our notion of private property"?  My understanding
is that people have had the concept of personal possessions for 
millenia, including structures (houses) and, to a lesser extent, 
land.  You seem to be giving a different meaning to "private
property" than I would expect.
