Music from an old English song.
I’m starting to get more information from the overpopulation project. People interested in this issue often post a variety of items, sort of like agnostic.com. Here is one item from a comment about property rights. The Goose and the common. [economicsociology.org].
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back
[Seventeenth century protest against English enclosures]

Sadly a fact of life! Still happening today….

It never ceases to amaze me how quick you are. Sadly, yes. PBS has a new series (from BBC) on the "Manor House." so many houses come with huge tracts of lands (thousands of acres) and yet all the owners continue to tout how much they help the local community through their system of tenet farming. Still, some amazing places and, more and more the state is taxing these estates almost to the point of insolvency.

@JackPedigo Just because I live on the other side of the world? I could be in the next room and my response not be any quicker - electronically speaking! 😁

@Marionville Yes, I understand but you are in a different time zone and are so active in other areas. Quick draw Marionville.

@JackPedigo I have certain times of the day where I devote some time (usually between 30 minutes to 1 hour) to Agnostic.com. This is one of these periods…but I’ll not be back again until just before bedtime after this!

@Marionville I guess better just before bedtime and not have it get into your dreams.
