- No, I don't think so, though I can see how you might reach that
- conclusion. One is an attempt to restrict the person, while the
- other is an attempt to restrict the person's use of property.
- One can not say that a person and that person's property are
- the same thing and claim that as a truism. It can be a basis of
- a philosophy, and if accepted, your point holds; but don't expect
- everyone to share your philosophy.
