No. I don't believe that the government should own the natural resources of a country. Instead, I think the people should own it.

You mean like Yellowstone Park, Yosemite Park, etc.? You don't think the US government should own the parks, instead I should own them?

Whatever you think, in most of the developing world the natural resources are owned by the government. That's the way it is. You want to change it, go tell the Nigerian government, good luck.

As I said, I don't know what entity sold the Bolivian concessions to drill for oil, so I don't know whether the government is right or wrong in taking them back. Do you?

It's not the government that should own the resources, but the people.
