Well touche, I'm fine with saying I'm wrong and that we've started. But it sure seems like a glacial pace. Whether we have already been reexamining property rights or not is IMO the least important part of my stance

Fundamental reorganization of society tends to take place in one of two ways:

(1) painfully slowly, or

(2) catastrophically, with massive bloodshed.

And while #2 often produces more rapid change considered over a short term, it also tends to be less secure change subject to equally rapid and equally bloody reversal.

It's frustrating, but I’m not convinced its solvable.
