So I guess I'm stuck with the system we have, and need just be
thankful that I'm not related to the original occupiers of the land I
now occupy.
Early societies used
the land either communally or temporarily before moving on. No
thought was given to "ownership." So ownership had to start
somewhere, and hence the ownership went to whoever got there first or
whoever had the most weapons, or however much you could successfully
defend, or some combination thereof.
