terracore - Maybe my opinion isn't popular but that should be their right.

I think it was correct the first time - that it is their right on their land. There are rights and there are laws and they don't always align. Having just re-read this yesterday in the context of A People's History of the United States: "It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. [...] Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice." - Henry David Thoreau
