Reader comments about this quote:

Human ownership, is an onerous subject at best. My personal belief is "I am" (I am an heir to the King of the Universe), not relating to any ownership assignment (to or from an alter ego, straw-man or otherwise) I do understand the legal argument and philosophical posture of owning oneself (there denying any possibility of third party ownership, including government). Ownership of the being man (as just another piece of government property) is evidenced by enforcement of compelled compliance, licensing, victimless crimes, larceny (income, property, life / insurance taxes) and non-recognition of inalienable rights.

What need of ownership when you can control? If the legislature can vote away your money and property, who really owns it? Until you assert your rights, today, you are assumed to be a ward of the state holding mere title to property. -- E Archer, NYC 2

In reality the question is stated, as a human being anyway; am I a positive addition to the relationship with my community? Inanimate objects concern themselves with being owned. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
