How could anything be stolen from a society that had no concept of property ownership to begin with?

True story: I was at a Tea Party rally here in South Florida, when some of these anarchist-wannabe punks showed up. They were noisy, banging pots and pans with drumsticks and making noise that had nothing to do with anything.

I got one particularly noisy one to stop a second to engage in conversation...asked him why he thought (if he did) that personal property should be shared among all people...how was that fair?

He responded with something like "There is only communal property--nothing is personally owned."

As SOON as those words left his mouth (I knew something like that would come out), I snatched the drumsticks out of his hand and ruined them--telling him that for the moment, I was living the world he envisioned.

He was not happy.

Thanks for the best laugh I’ve had today.

Ha-ha...I love your concept of what a practical demonstration looks like!

You just made my day.

Carry on.
