Every posting and all correspondence I have seen from Libertarians
indicates that they base their strong adherance to property rights
on two principles: the right of a human to control his own self,
and the right of a human to control what he creates his own self.

This seems to exclude the right of a human to own land, which
was not created by any human, and seems to make very problematical
the situation where a human must give the fruits of his labor
to another to avoid starving.

Would the Libertarians on the net clarify these issues?
