I do understand easements. Of course, no one is allowed to do illegal things on their private property - it has always been understood you don't have completely unfettered control over your property if that could result in harm to yourself or to other people. What I was getting it is restrictions on the LAWFUL enjoyment of our property that are being imposed by government beyond what is necessary to preserve the safety of the community. The real issue then is when does private property cease being private in character? That's the issue.

I agree, but I don't see how you can fairly say a man is justified in violently stopping someone from putting in a pubic sewer when there is an easement for that purpose.

That's what you seemed to be saying to me, sorry if I misunderstood.

Bingo..
We are all "fettered" by our Laws of the Land. -- Far to many laws of course..
