>If you used the land for something

So preservation of natural state is not a "use" ? Hunting is not a "use"?

I think they are...

>Land ownership, as we understand it today, is a government-granted right, not a natural right.

I think it is largely both, and I recognize that we can and should reform some of the government granted rights I just dont think the Right of Exclusion should be one of those reforms.

The lack of usage is not a use. Preservation means changing the legal status of the land permanently, and it also prevents the land owner from using the land for other purposes in the future.

Hunting is a use, but only when it's actually occurring.
