I’m pretty much settled on the Jeffersonian concept of “property” as #3.

I'm with ya.

Saw your post addressing that before falling off to sleep last night. This drop relates to political control in the natural world. The perversion and spiritual evils addressed by Team Q have their own applications. They probably have their own 1., 2. and 3. lists of what value we provide but they would not begin with "votes."

hope my logic is a tad clearer than mud.

I am familiar with the substitution for Locke's original language, i.e., "Property."

However, I believe "Pursuit of happiness" is MUCH MORE THAN A EUPHEMISM for "PROPERTY."

Instead, there is an argument that "Pursuit of happiness" is an inherently American accelerator of the freedom of the human spirit.
