Hello Carl:
No personal offense meant, Carl, but I consider the above (indicated) to be
a really a stupid statement. While I am _NOT_ calling _you_ stupid, I do
resent it in the extreme when someone who knows me not from a
hole-in-the-wall makes such a sweeping generalization to my inclusion.
I suggest that you lack information and cognition concerning what " ...all
the rest of us are doing." Although your statement may hold true for your
perception of your associates, I assume that you will give a reference
which will disinclude any and all persons who have not given you permission
to speak for them.
There is also a significant indigenous population in the Americas and
elsewhere in this scarred world that would give you blank stares when you
talk about "...the sacrifice of parting with their land (money, resources,
etc.)" in the context of ownership.
