The opposite of BUYING is STEALING

I think you meant SELLING. -- Crayon

Crayon: No, if you want something that you don't have -- you have three choices: a) go without; b) BUY it; c) STEAL it.

You forgot Rent, Lease, Win and a whole slew of other transferral systems. At any rate, wasn't the entire North American continent stolen? If I were a religious man I'd quote the phrase:

And you forgot my PS, which read; "PS: In this, BUY means to preform to the expectations of the owner for purchase." Expectations of the owner could mean "Rent, Lease, Win and a whole slew of other transferral systems."

    "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and
     unto God the things that are God's"

Yes, but that was Christ answer to a question of paying taxes, was it not?

But I'm not (even though I did just quote it ;). More appropriate to the world of today is the following quote:

    "All your base are belong to us".

Ownership is an illusion... What you have may be taken away at anytime by the state (be it your own state or a victorious state that just subjugated your previous state).

But illusion all we have. There is no truth in perception.

Moving along to the philosophical... anything that exists is merely a permutation of what might exist.

More accurately, what doesn't exist is merely a permutation in variations in the theme of what does.

Don't expect that only one living entity can envision such a permutation.

Don't expect anyone with our limitations to be capable to determine the truth of that statement. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
