Same with your car -- you only "own" it in the sense that you get to use it until, or unless, the government decides to take it from you. Do you even truly own your own body? If so, you should be able to do anything to it you like. But you can't. No matter where you go on this planet, you will be considered a citizen or subject of one flag or another. Try to be a "Man Without A Country," and you fall under UN jurisdiction. We are all here on this earth for a short time, and we don't get to take anything with us when we die. Even if you live to be 100 years old, it is just a speck in known history. That makes all of us temporary custodians, and unable to really own anything since we don't get to keep it for long under any circumstances. Relax, and enjoy your temporary use of a boat to get out and see more of the world. Meanwhile, if the state wants my house they can take it, but they'll have to mow the yard ;-) Don W. |
