For me, EVERYTHING is in hard assets and the real-estate I live on - a home and 32 acres that can completely sustain my family.

That is admirable as long as some layer of government doesn't decide it wants your property.

[Mr. Douglas]

I look at the whole thing kind of like insurance. You can only mitigate risk, not eliminate it.

And the good news is that my property would be of no use to the government. If they were coming after my property, things would have to have deteriorated so much that that would be the least of my, or anybody else’s problems.

Like I used to say in 1970 in high school: If the day comes where the government is not honoring your valid savings bonds, that will be the least of your problems.

Yes and the EPA sez those water puddles after a rain belong to them.
And decide some insect is in fear of extinction and your endangering them.

You really don’t own that land, you just rent it.

[Vendome]

Isn’t that true of any thief?
