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. Sam Hall, UCB decvax!ucbvax!ucbtopaz!bitmap
