You're absolutely right. I'm just asking is that system better or worse than what we have today?
An example: What Lord, Duke etc (the "privliged elite") would allow pollution on THEIR turf? I'm sure that you and I both would not allow pollution to occur on our land, in our homes, true?
So there's a notion of preservation held within the mind of the owner, toward his or her property. This is not the case with democracy, socialism, communism...or any other ism I can think of. Whereby the land is looked upon as resource.
