Sorry. Fee simple is the MOST rights you can own. It is not ALL. Walk up to your courthouse and tell them you are creating your own country with your land. Tell them you are seceding. Or try building a nuclear power plant on it. Tell me how they treat those "rights" of yours.

In any civilized society with a functioning commonwealth, property owners must sacrifice certain rights. This is common Lockean principle here.

We don't live in 'functioning commonwealth', we live in a disfunctional constitutional republic, --- primarily thanks to communitarians like you and the freeker roscoe-ites among us.

Funny, isn't it?

Pretending to be defenders of property rights, they are astoundingly ignorant of its nature.

What if a person owns no property? What rights must be "sacrificed" then? Where does your logic take you in that instance?

What specific rights are missing besides the right to secede? You keep changing the parameters of your arguments... And when did Texas (or any state aside from Taxachusetts and Pennsylvania) become Commonwealths?
