Delving into the European psyche.
I've been wondering about something for awhile, seems it help us Americans understand were you are coming from a bit more. I know for most middle class Americans it isnt to hard to find and buy your own land/house. But for Europeans, how many on this Org own their own land, not just the house, but the land its siting on. And what is your opinion on most Americans owning land so easily?

Well, after Kelo v. New London, I wouldn't go trumpeting the average American's ability to "own" land.

Re: Delving into the European psyche.
Too true.
I do want to become a major developer and hound the justices that voted for that. And their families. Send them to a communal... mud hut. Or something.

You can buy land and houses here no problem.

Property law in the US is only about 100 years old. Before that anyone with a gun could clear injuns off and call it home.

Sadly, my sense of humor has not improved much in the ensuing 15+ years. Egad what a nerd I am.
