The natural resources belong to all of us. That's why hunters and trappers have to pay for a license. It's why someone needs a license to fish in the waters of Pennsylvania. They are paying for the right to fish and game that belong to all of the residents of Pennsylvania. The waterways of Pennsylvania belong to all of us, so if someone wants to boat, the boat has to be registered.

Curious why you avoided all of my questions? Trees are natural resources. Do my trees belong to you and everyone else?

Because they are stupid, probably. Loggers need permits to cut trees on state land.

Again, you've completely avoided my questions. You seem reluctant to say what you're feeling about private ownership versus government ownership of property.

I'm all for private ownership of property. But you don't own the deer or fish that travel through your property. You can't hunt on your own property without a license. Unless you have mineral rights you don't own the coal or natural gas that is under your property. Anyone can fly an aircraft over your property.
