If you owned a few hundred acres of desert, maybe.

An awful lot of this country is desert or other wide-open space, owned in the hundreds of acres.

Yeah but in my home State, 90 percent of the desert land is owned by the big Gub'ment. (Hmmmm, I don't remember seeing anything in the Constitution about Fed being a landlord...)

Sadly, Da Gubmint owns *more*. I'd personally love to own a few thousand acres of Alaska. Ain't gonna happen.
