Great way to end an argument. Poor way to uncover the truth.

Wow, you've got it bad.
I can understand that, as I have been a fan of Michael Badnarik and his Constitution class, which is based on the concept of private property. However, ownership is closely tied to the idea of royalty and the master / slave dynamic. In a world run by sociopaths, ownership is just another control mechanism to keep their hierarchy in place and keep us enslaved.
I have read that the Native Americans believed that humans, like all other animals, actually own nothing. Everything in the world we need has been provided for us by the Great Spirit. We may use it during our short stay here, but it is not ours. It is absurd to even think it is. I find that to be a much wiser perspective than the greedy claim of ownership that the sociopathic system of capitalism indoctrinates us with.
As an interesting side note, I've also read that the Native Americans, thanks to their greater empathy and minimal societal hierarchy, were better at identifying sociopathy in their tribes and eliminating it. That certainly fits with their wiser perspective, as well as their mistaken assumption that white-man leaders would be as wise.
So you would choose the blue pill, and I would choose the red pill. That's all right, because the problem is indeed choice.
