this statement doesn't make sense to me. how can owning something be basic to
freedom and essential to life?

[Platt]
Think about what a slave can own and his right to life.

[Arlo]
The Indians owned nothing, nor did they want to, and in many ways they enjoyed
MORE freedom than us, not less. Ownership is a snare, we come to think of
"freedom" as meaning nothing more than "accumulation". Which is just what the
mercantilists want, of course.
