Native Americans believed that no one owned the land, that it belonged to everyone; unfortunately most others over the course of history have felt differently, they wanted to fence it all in and call it their own. Having said that, I own the property my house sits on and I have fenced in the yard. Hmmmm, I really enjoy this little piece of property, but I am told that the grass is greener over the hill; perhaps if I down size I would be free to explore?
