: I would have a hard time arguing your finally point, and do NOT want to start a debate over "what people are really like" but I believe that you agreed that people dont feel the way. We need realistics solutions for todays world with an eye on the goal. Pie in the sky idealism has gotten us nowhere.

I put it to you that you defense of such a terrible system is the idealism not my aversion to it which recognises its difficulties.

You have to acknowledge that peolpes ideas about private property change gradually, I'm not going to force anything, but if necessary reduction doesnt take place we wont have a future to enjoy private ownership in.

If idealism gets you no where, where does your ideas get us?
