Re-Building Walls

Some questions I have from today:

Is our societal system based on walls, i.e. what I own versus what you (do not) own? Are we about the protection of private property, the right to bear arms and the freedom of speech? Or do we stand for something more than our individual rights, something beyond ourselves? Are we about the universal rights of the people to natural resources, the right to be peace-makers and the freedom to build wholistic community?
