Madison: "The earth belongs...to the living....Then no man can, by
natural right, oblige the lands he occupied or the persons who succceed
him in that occupation, to the payment of debts contracted by him. For
if he could, he might, during his own life, eat up the use of the lands
for several generations to come, and then the lands would belong to the
dead, and not to the living,...No generation can contract debts greater
that may be paid during the course of its own existence"
"This is one of the organizing concepts being talked about today under
the heading " sustainable development".
