THOMAS FLANAGAN University of Calgary
I welcome Professor Griffin's comments on my article.' Readers can make up their own minds as to whether I attributed too much "abstract logical consistency" to the agricultural argument.2 I would, however, remind Professor Griffin and other readers that my article did not propose the agriculture argument as a satisfactory justification for the European appropriation of North America. After trying to tease out the implications of the agricultural argument, I concluded that the real issue "was not private ownership but public sovereignty."3 I think Professor Griffin would agree that that question has not yet received the treatment it deserves.
