Quote by Edmund Burke?
Q. I want to see what everyone thinks this quote means... "The power of perpetuating our property in our familiesis one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it and that which tend the most to the perpetuation of society itself.

A.

I don't think there is any logical slam dunk for any one of those ideas - if our property were re-absorbed by our society, say, instead of our being able to will it to specific people (not necessarily family members, note) then what - would that somehow weaken or erode society? To the contrary, it would put vast resources back into the societal hopper - also, people can be just as mean and nasty… [cont.]
