Nope, their purpose is to take control and ownership of your private property.
It always has been. And that's my real point: they keep pushing. They are outraged when you calmly protest at each new encroachment on private property.
Private property is the basis of Law. Seeking to erase boundaries sounds nice in a song, but it is, by definition and in fact, lawlessness. Anarchy.
And despite the best and bravest face the youngsters put on it, anarchy is NEVER pretty.
