Footnotes
- ↑ Does anybody really THINK about this statement? It's transferring ownership of all one's private property to a joint stock company / guild of friends. It's communism, for God's sake! And if persons do maintain private legal ownership of things, they are still saying any friend can take it and use it, it's just they they are personally liable to fix the thing of it breaks, and provide storage for it when not in use? Do kids in college scream at their teachers that this is un-American? Shouldn't friends be competing with each other, to the death of the weakest? What's wrong with all these people?
