Very Dangerous
Oh, western man!When will you learn your lesson?People vehemntly guard their private property.One would think that after looking at my continent, and looking and the failed socialist experiments of thetwentieth century, Americans would learn the lesson of the importance ofprivate ownership.If elimination of private property is what youAmericans want, then you too will be condemned to poverty and death.

a good example
This book passed a basic test of polemical writing: it inspired me to go out and do what the author strongly suggested the reader do.It was the middle of the night, but I put the book down and went out for a walk in thewoods on someone else's property (don't worry they have plenty) so that Icould look at the moon and stars and sparkling landscape from a highplace. A thorough and entertaining account of a complex subject.
John Hanson Mitchell is a graceful stylist who has been hammering away at a host of environmental subjects from the perspective of a single square mile.Trespassing may be his best book yet, and only slightly lessambitious than his monumental tour de force, Ceremonial Time.He takes thetheme of ownership of land, one of the most potentially boring subjectsaround, and turns it into a great nonstop read by focussing on a singlefive hundred acre tract of land through some three hundred years ofhistory.Some of the characters in this book are right out of Dickens,some of the descriptions of the landscape are out of Conrad, and, as far asI can tell, he's got a great understanding of the whole process of thecreation of the American laws that govern the use of land. But you don'thave to be interested in environment or legal history to enjoy this.Justread it for the characters.I wept for Sarah Dublet at the end of thisbook. ... Read more
