An even quicker definition of property: theft. Attempting to own something is nothing more than the attempt to deny other people its use. Just because it is condoned by a government that attempts to put boundaries on everything from objects to ideas to even empty space doesn't make it any less wrong. Obviously this ridiculous trend to snatch up ownership of anything and everything is not going to be reversed in a day or even a lifetime, but the breakdown of so-called intellectual property (I own this way of thinking... you can't think like that) would be a good start.
...freedom is the ability to say that 2 + 2 = 4. everything else follows from that...
