Actually it was from Lockean philosophy. Locke did not believe that which existed naturally (not derived from human labor) could be owned exlusively outside of societal contract (government).
Its why the NH Constitution allows for the taxation of certain elements but not others...

Yes, that societal contract is called "privilege" or private legislation.

Treating some unequally via exclusion. The only reason society should do this is if it enhances the common good.

I think she missed my point... specific property is defined as common or private when government is the agent of exclusivity.

Domesticated animals do not fall under that category... they are neither natural nor common to NH.
But its quite obvious to most that NH is deciding on what restrictions will be placed on common property... irregardless of the basis of their fiduciary responsibility protect the individual common right from infringement.

And I fear that it will only get worse.

The problem occurs when people confuse a common right/property which is an individual equal access opportunity right with a collective right/property by the use of the term "public".

What really confuses people is when you have a right of way (a common right) that is contained within collectively owned property like a road or sidewalk.
