person not being quiet again :)

i'll say it once, because i'm used to the responses i'll get. judging from
the _demonstrated_ dialect, i'll wager the subject resides in the u.s.

i actually heard that the u.s. has this crazy thing where they consider land
to be property! imagine.. how is a creature supposed to provide for itself
if it's only resource is disenfranchised?

i guess that means that anyone within the geopolitical boundaries of the
united states and similar countries had better provide for itself by either
taking advantage of others, as demonstrated in the sheer number of utter
crap music software nowadays, covert agriculture (yeah!) or being in the
condition of agreement with others. and when "others" tout a silly thing
like 'land is property,' that's not something many creatures will naturally
take to agreeing with. try keeping flies off your burger, or dolphins out of
your water if you're one of those brain size people.

so, whilst i certainly can't condone the actions of this individual (doesn't
make them any better than the original criminal really) i can neither
condemn them, since they're only emulating behaviour demonstrated by others.

i say it's best that people simply try and create a sense of awareness in
these matters.
