I was really refering to this straw character NHA10 invented. Even though he dramatizes heavily for dramatic effect I do not think he would actually kill a harmless child.
Dylboz has this one right.Since the US government folks actually are convinced they actually legally own a certain share of your property then this "propertairian" view suggests that they have legitimate claim to your use of that property. You see, your deed - in their view - is for a certain "bundle of rights" rather than full title to all of the land and its use.
