"The right to own a thing is a fundamental to human exchange. The alternative is that the colony of indiivuals owns all the things, and gets to re-allocate them according to its version of wisdom. The problem with this alternative is that it erodes self-improvement, and personal, individual responsibility, as a motivation. Absent that motivation, improvement of the group becomes problematic, especially when it is not voluntary. Responsibility is never generated by other than individual will and perception, and that is perhaps my deepest assumption." - Amos.

Well said Amos - no truer words ever spoken.
