You asked for it. What is this request for a discussion about land?  That 
isn't a discussion. I thoroughly agree that land may has been ill-gotten in 
the past and perhaps even controlled stupidly in the present but what do you 
propose to create out of complaining about it?
A discussion could be a request to find land in a particular area, or new 
and original ways of owning land or inexpensive ways of buying it, but 
discussing the unfairness of legal land titles?
Really.
