“The first man who, after enclosing a piece of ground, took it into his head to say, ‘This is mine.’ and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, how many wars, how many murders, how many misfortunes and horrors would that man have saved the species, who pulling up stakes or filling up the ditches, should have cried to his fellows, ‘Beware of listening to this impostor. You are lost if you forget that the fruits of the Earth belong to us all, and the Earth itself, to nobody.’” -David Hume
