When there wasn't any money involved, for all intents and purposes, nobody gave a damn. But now the land, supposedly worthless, is seen for what it really is: an incredibly valuable asset.

Western concepts of ownership and privatization came in and clashed with that. So land began to be exchanged.

So as soon as the land was worth something and there was money in the bank, all of a sudden everybody got interested in non-discrimination, in who's really going to administer this stuff.

A good portion of the airport is on ceded lands, and lease money was paid for that. So the state's collecting lease money because all of a sudden "worthless" land now has an airport on it.

You're talking serious money already in the bank, and millions of dollars coming in every year.

So there's always been this clash between what is the public good - that which belongs to all of us in common - and what can be exploited for a private interest.

It's like picking up an unfamiliar piece of sheet music & starting to stumble through it, only to realize it is a melody you'd once learned by heart, one you can play without even trying.

Perhaps God brought you into this mess so that he can bring you out of it for his glory.

When a man calls himself an atheist, he is not attacking God; he is attacking his own conscience.

Private equity has absolutely no reason to exist. The private equity holder has all the upside and the banks all the downside.

Co-existence or no existence.
