The violation of property rights by Government entities is just another example of what we collectively need to remove our consent from.

It occurs to me that this country (the US) was founded upon this very inequity – the pillaging of land from its rightful stewards. Without fully acknowledging that as the foundation of our establishment, how can we ever truly move towards anything resembling 'harmony', much less expect respect from our government?
