348 - "Property rights are a subset of human rights."

Read it again. I was referring to the concept of 'intellectual property'.

Property rights are pretty well, commonly understood, though not totally.

Like, as I found, if I had a 7 shirts hanging out on a wash line, drying, one could be 'honorably' stolen, while if I had only one hanging out on the line it would not be stolen. You see, with 7, I had more than I needed, so it wasn't really stealing.

But the concept of 'intelectual property' was univerally not understood.

Intellectual Property is subject to "property rights" as is your land, car, and house.

Same concept. Socialists will not get it.

As to excessive property--in the Jud/Christian tradition, it is NOT up to those in need to, ah, re-appropriate the items. It IS an obligation of the owner to charitably utilize the property. IOW, if you have 7 shirts and someone is naked, you damn-near-automatically hand him one or two of your shirts.
