Ownership

In Paonia, Colorado, you don't own what you think you own.  The farmer, rancher owns the top of the land where he/she can decide what to plant and grow, or graze.  But deeper down, where the natural gas and oil sits, the government owns that.  I had never thought about how far down into the earth ownership goes.  Turns out not so far.  Come to think of it, how far down do I own myself?  I can do with my body what I want.  God owns my soul.  God is good.  God is love.  No fracking here.  I am not so sure about this oil and gas business.
