You forgot Rent, Lease, Win and a whole slew of other transferral systems. At any rate, wasn't the entire North American continent stolen? If I were a religious man I'd quote the phrase: "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s" But I'm not (even though I did just quote it ;). More appropriate to the world of today is the following quote: "All your base are belong to us". Ownership is an illusion... What you have may be taken away at anytime by the state (be it your own state or a victorious state that just subjugated your previous state). Moving along to the philosophical... anything that exists is merely a permutation of what might exist. Don't expect that only one living entity can envision such a permutation.
