Crayon:
No, if you want something that you don't have -- you have three
choices: a) go without; b) BUY it; c) STEAL it.
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:
And you forgot my PS, which read;
"PS: In this, BUY means to preform to the expectations of the owner
for purchase."
Expectations of the owner could mean "Rent, Lease, Win and a whole
slew of other transferral
systems."
"Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and
unto God the things that are God's"
Yes, but that was Christ answer to a question of paying taxes, was it not?
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).
But illusion all we have. There is no truth in perception.
Moving along to the philosophical... anything that exists is merely a
permutation of what might exist.
More accurately, what doesn't exist is merely a permutation in
variations in the theme of what does.
Don't expect that only one living
entity can envision such a permutation.
Don't expect anyone with our limitations to be capable to determine
the truth of that statement.
Cheers,
tedd
