Derek, you are in an ethical minefield there. Think intellectual property for cancer cure. Companies should just give away their property without compensation under your argument. After all, the patients NEED the products to live. To me you are making an amoral argument. The same one that Osama is making. There he is stuck in the Afghan hills and for his survival, he needs to get the USA the hell out of Saudi Arabia so he can take it over and go home and sell a lot of oil. So, by your argument, he was quite right to destroy the WTC buildings and all those people. I disagree and if somebody can't make their SUV go without my oil, that's their problem, not mine. If people want to go on strike and withdraw their labour, you surely aren't in favour of slavery. But that's where your argument leads. It's a chimpanzee method of living. Toughest one takes anything they want. No private property. No human rights. No freedom. They tried it in USSR and a lot more places. It's ugly, cruel and doesn't work. Mqurice
