Based on the parts you did excerpt, though, I'd note that even 'land ownership' is merely rental in most places in the US. Unless you pay 'property taxes' on an ongoing basis, the public will come along and take it away from you again. Very few parts of the country that don't have property taxes and can be said to have true 'ownership'.
