From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2009-01-23:

"There is a story, which is fairly well known, about when the missionaries came to Africa. They had the Bible and we, the natives, had the land. They said 'Let us pray,' and we dutifully shut our eyes. When we opened them, why, they now had the land and we had the Bible." -- Desmond M. Tutu, "Religious Human Rights and the Bible."

This beautifully explains why I don't believe in land ownership. Ownership is an idea, like religion. Why is being religious always so expensive? And why are agnostics as despised as atheists? Don't make me go into the McCarthy hearings, I've got a book to edit.
