Conclusion:
Property is anything we exercise ownership and have exclusive control over; our control working in accordance to our definitions of liberty and crime. This means that our control is limited by other people’s liberties. So, we may not abridge another’s liberties by our use of our property. Property cannot include mankind.

I like that. But if I may be permitted to add that property rights are human rights. How do we obtain property? Most of us go to work. We exert our labour and a certain portion of our life in exchange for money, which is property in and of itself. We take that money and exchange it for goods and services. If anyone, government or citizen, deprives us of property, what they’ve essentially done is steal from you that portion of your life it took to amass that property. In other words, they owned your life and your labour. They’ve made you a slave for that portion of your life. That’s powerful stuff if you stop to think about it.
Yes, We agree completely. In fact, that is one of the considerations that went into our drafting of the various definitions. I like the way you phrased that though… brilliant explanation. You should drop me an email, I’d love to discuss it further with you.
