So are you also against when the government took the land away from the people who
previously lived there and gave it to the ancestors of the people
who now 'own' it? Or is it only when the government makes a restriction
inconvenient for you? Are you for all the road subsidies given by the govt. to
people who drive in from (for example) drained swamps?

Face it, 'the government' originally created and defends the property rights you
speak of.

By the way, what will happen when all the swamps are drained for short term
economic gain? What about people who depend on this watershed for
their livelihood? Things are connected and no man is an island.
