Where do your rights begin and mine end?

I find it very, very sad that some would place the value of property above the value of human life. Property rights will never result in equality under the law because some corporate entity will always have more property than an individual. Far too many of our rights have been disregarded due to the corporate world's greedy pursuit of ever more property- the rights of individuals be damned. No I am not just another form of 'property' myself- I believe that the Divine Creator (by whatever name you know Him)made mankind somewhat more than just another collection of mere molecules on this planet. Mere molecules acting upon each other's existence does not become a crime until some idiot human gets involved.

This is not a matter of property rights being above the human life at all. If you think that, you completely misunderstand the issue. I can't murder you just because you come on my property. That would be a violation of the most basic human rights and no property rights would ever be able to overrule those. However, I should be able to do business with you or not do business with you on my property. I should be able to construct and destroy my property as I see fit, so long as it does not violate your right to life or property.
