Avatar is About Private Property Rights

“Avatar” is like a space opera of the Kelo case, which went to the Supreme Court in 2005. Peaceful people defend their property against outsiders who want it and who have vastly more power. Jake rallies the Na’vi with the stirring cry “And we will show the Sky People that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this is our land!”
--David Boaz of the LA Times

That last part, about they can't take our land. Standing out against an out of control sky people system. Doesn't that remind you of the Tea Party Movement?
