What have YOU "created"?I guarantee that whatever it was, it was based on the prior work of GENERATIONS of people.With out the public domain knowledge of the alphabet and syntax of at least one language, you never would have been able to read or comprehend "Locke's Discourse on Property", or any other philosophy.Show me any act of creation that includes NO PRIOR WORK from society, and I will defend your OWNERSHIP of it.There is not one.But in your own "self-centered whining" you've neglected to reimburse those generations of society that have maintained a culture for you to create in.That significant contribution to YOUR work, you have no problem STEALING from all us. Because it doesn't suit you to recognize it's incalculable value, you simple assume you have a right to it. You have been granted the privilege of that prior knowledge by the generosity of human society in general, and whatever culture you are part of in specific.PAY US BACK, or I move that "We The People..." remove your specific right to use any of societies work as a basis if yours. Seconded anyone?
