 Puzzled looks filled the village as more and more gathered to hear this promising proposal. 
 
 `` What, then, should we do? We have no authority. We have no weaponry. Most of all, we have no motivation'' the same farmer debated. 
 
 A subtle smile gleamed across the young man's face - `` let me tell you about property rights'' he laughed.
