Your response raises more questions for me Jim
like:
-what is property?
-how can I appropriate of the cleanest air this world has to offer?
-what property will give me quality of life and not take it from me?

Before you can judge an act to be a crime against humanity. I'd like to know what acts can be identified as crime, where is humanity and how are both these ideas brought together.
A crime is any act, or in some cases failure to act, which causes physical damage to a person or their property, makes use of said property, or breaks a public trust without prior permission by all involved.
A crime is a violation of the responce 'No'.

And me as well :)

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.
