    I know this will land on deaf ears, but here's a hypothetical scenario for all you folks who say that you should be able to do whatever you want on your own property. If everyone was given a parcel of land and they graded it clean of vegetation and paved it over, we'd soon be treeless and beeless, foodless and hotter than hell. Land "owners" are only leasing the land and the responsibility of overseeing the true rights of future generations... the right to live, breathe and survive and thrive; the right to clean air and water, food to eat, joy and beauty, art and music, and exposure to bunnies, birds and trees. It's not going to happen if we think it's all about me doing exactly as I please.
