Lately, I have been receiving some interesting questions, like, who defines boundaries, and why is ownership a principle. Plus some debatable statements like, freedom is not given to us by a creator and freedom does not exist in nature. And freedom cannot be fought for and anyone who believes it can and will always lose in a battle for it.
As I have expressed in previous articles, I take the position, ownership of property is a principle, and freedom can be fought for and frequently must be defended.

When discussing the philosophy of freedom, most areas are clear cut and easy to understand. However there are some areas which might sound a bit fuzzy and unclear.
Freedom by its very nature is so intertwined with ownership. This can be defined. A thing can be owned, if it has a boundary, under the control of the owner, and can be destroyed.
This writing is not about the wisdom or non-wisdom of destruction, I simply state one criteria of ownership is whether or not the so-called owner of a thing, is within his rights to destroy. And if he cannot destroy without permission from another, he in fact does not own. Ownership of property is a total concept, and ones right to destroy is a part of that total concept.
