 Great quote!  So true!

It is too bad that Thomas Jefferson had to change "protection of life, liberty, and property" to protection of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" in order to prevent the Declaration of Independence from supporting slavery.  We need better protection of property.

Also, we don't really own our property as long as we have to pay property tax (rent) to keep it.  The two most evil taxes are property and income taxes.
