Do you understand the concept behind this ? the space you occupy at this very moment in time was created billions of years ago - it did'nt come with a deed attached to it. Various tribes fought each other over it, somebody won and kept it.We then elected governments to sell us the land that they never owned in the first place. Your claim - if you have one - to the piece of earth you occupy right now is no more valid than mine. If I fought you for it and won I would only be doing what somebody else did thousands of years ago. The whole basis for anybody's claim to any land is highly questionable. Nobody really 'owned' it so nobody could 'sell' it. As for theft of goods, I rather liked the theory espoused in Star Trek (or was it Deep Shit 9) that their society evolved to the stage where there was enough to go round for everyone, we would'nt need to buy anything. Personally I blame that bloody woman Eve for all of this....we had it made in the beginning.
