[Mind's Eye] Re: Thou shalt not steal

You've hit on many types of theft but, unfortunately, fraud is so
common here that most people just shrug. The topic could expand
greatly. For instance, we could trace various governing and economic
systems and how they cover theft with grandiose rhetoric/documents but
essentially they are stealing another's labor, wealth or property-
even ideas and methods. The Papacy was also a thief of simpletons.
Liberals are also great thieves. A conservative is someone who has
something to conserve. The legal system and also the banking system
employ outrageous means to get at other people's money. Farming and
banking don't mix- a line from the movie "Sweetland". An examination
of the media/entertainment sets up the double-think. It's likely
sociopathic.

The lopping off of hands? I thought it traced back to basic needs-
mostly food. Reminds me that the British chopped off the thumbs of
master weavers in India to protect their own home industry or that
scene in "The English Patient".
