Congrats! That's about as close to a zero-sum one-sided conversation as I've ever seen. You've been reading Mao's early commentaries again, haven't you?

Gotta watch that cheap rum, okay?

#35648 RE: IxCimi #35645

the Lenapé shared land like so many others did
because they believed no one could own the land
and look where the concept got them....

or should I say...it only works when everyone shares certain values
obviously...there's way too many who do not

so owning property...I agree...
sadly enough
here no one really owns their property

The Dawes Act played with this farsicical notion and employed it as a method of genocide on those who couldn't believe that land could be owned

here
If you can get decent water rights and mineral rights
you can have some security
but emminent domain....well there I go proving your point
