He knows he's just walking through the woods. Maybe he has a girlfriend up there. It's the other people that believe in imaginary lines... What you call "voices" he probably just calls ideas and principles... He is apparently driven. That's OK. The corruption and gaslighting run deep with politicals... I call for REASON.

When people walk on the sidewalk in front of your house, do you go apeshit and bring the survey papers out there to have an argument? It's the same damn thing with government "enforcers" and "borders". Sometimes the developers, surveyors and lawyers screw up and don't leave enough room for sidewalks AND the road AND the utility strip, so the sidewalk actually IS on the property owner's land... Does that mean that property owner can murder everyone out for an afternoon walk? No, of course NOT! Can ANYONE draw lines around you and start dictating your behaviour??? NO of course NOT! They can expect a certain type of behaviour. Then, they can ask you to leave. This activity of trespass is not a criminal offense, but rather a civil trespass. If I own some land and the school kids all cut across to catch the school bus EVERY day and I do NOTHING about it... THIS activity becomes a prescriptive right-of-way. It's up to ME to DEFEND my property! There are MORE ways to DEFEND yourself and your property than using the wireless hole punchers. I can put up signs. I can put up a fence. I can put up a wall (preferably vegetative screening too). Sometimes, in the olden days, people would put their driveway ON the middle of the property line. Over the years they would sell some back lots to other people and they would extend the driveway all the way back down their property line. With dirt roads, not much problem. Start asking to pay for pavement and drainage devices like curb and gutter and storm drains and sewer pipes and on and on, everyone suddenly doesn't want to pay or wants to know how little is their part of the bill. Property lines get referenced and everyone discovers that people are driving on their land since this "driveway" has turned into the main route into to town. This is known as a prescriptive "right-of-way". The locals depend on it to get to get to town. If the repairs can be completed amicably or cooperatively, then no love lost and the way to town can still remain a "prescriptive" right-of-way. If it has to be more formal due to interlopers and middlemen like lawyers and public works looking for more make work projects, then the issue could escalate to partial taking of property edges for purposes of "dedicating" right-of-way to the county. Since government can't really "own" property, the term "dedicated" is used to get property owners to voluntary surrender or "donate" or "sell" their land edges for the grand road project. Developers many times will just "dedicate" the right-of-way when planning out the parcel shapes and sizes, to avoid this type of emergent adverse possession of multi-decade prescriptive right-of-way evolution.

All that to say. We are ALL taking these imaginary lines WAY TOO SERIOUSLY to think that it should control someone's destiny. There is enough flexibility in the imaginary world of paper lines and laws written by dead people, that we should be able to make up our own minds AFTER thorough discussion about things that don't really affect either one of us... YET. Ergo, discussion OVER making up minds.
