You see the early immigrants came to america so they could own land, instead their children ended up hogging it and selling for ridiculous prices, so we are back where we were a couple thousand years ago. Enough said.
No, actually if you lived forever and we were all your children, then you'd 'try' to charge rent, but mom would let us live in the basement for free
ROFL!!!
Who are you Lazarus Long?
Those in Mass. could only buy it from a monopoly, who claimed exclusive rights to buy it from the indigenous people. It was that way for quite some time. Some gave it up when they went back "home", some had it confiscated when they would not swear loyalty to the movement for independence and were shipped to Canada. In the west, it is the water that is being sold at ridiculous prices and more is being sold than exists (Over-alloocated water.) and houses are being sold that will run out of non renewable water (aquifers).

If youre a good landlord who gives a shit?
well what do you think the ows movement is about, sharing the abundance of the earth.
Who the hell put OWS in charge of the abundance of the earth?
if they were in charge, they would probably share it, but they arent in charge, corporations and men who seek power over others are. it take some time for people to catch on what its all about. patience is a virtue.
First-Where can I find the documentation of the motives that drove the immigrants a couple thousand years ago to come here?
Second-if it's already been a couple thousand years and people haven't caught on yet...I hope OWS has more than a couple thousand years worth of patience.
You mean free dope and free love?
