like: -what is property?
A figment of human psychology. My dog certainly doesn't use the same definition of 'property' that I do, so it's clearly not 'universal'.
-how can I appropriate of the cleanest air this world has to offer?
I don't understand this question, poor wording. I think you're asking how to make sure the world is a clean place. As long as humans must live on the planet full time I doubt it'll ever happen. Outside of resource issues and looking at the political/psychological aspects, Two party (ie consumer/producer) systems are inherently unstable (it's why nobody wants to answer the question "where does the market stability come from in order to create the free market"). So the answer would seem to be diversity (ie vote with your feet).
-what property will give me quality of life and not take it from me?
I don't think property will give you that. The only measure of 'quality of life' I've ever seen is 'security through freedom'. ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
