tibet has over 30mt copper ore reserves, page-5

Communists try to grab as much as they can for state ownership and the bureaucrats live the high life.

Capitalists try to grab as much as they can for personal ownership and the plutocrats live the high life.

Of course in the big scheme of things all these forms of ownership are temporary.
It is preposterous to think that because we have a language and we draft laws, we can claim ownership but admittedly it is necessary for a properous economy that prevents us from our inglorious past - the slash and burn lifestyle.

But do the elephants know they are owned? Do the lions?
Do the insects in your field know they are trespassing?

Ultimately we are all just guests on this planet.....until the masters arrive to obliterate us.... lol.
