So, can we apply the beliefs of these two philosophers to our leaders in today's world?
.
Anyone have a take on that?

It's a tough call. The idea of rights has become incredibly complicated now. Take Locke's ideas about work and property. Nowadays, there is almost never one person responsible for all the work involved in manufacturing anything. So who's property is it? We tend to give it to the investors or owners of the company, but have they done any of the real work? No.

The law gives us the idea of Intellectual Property. I have an idea that comes to us from Locke. Is that correct?

Sorry, I've had a VERY busy week or so. Yes, intellectual property is newer than Locke, but based on the same principle. You created that through your work (intellectual work in this case), so you own it and hold the rights to it.
