Seriously now. Why isn't land reclaimed from the sea (as the Dutch do) 
by outlays of capital, lots of clever technology and just plain hard 
work a product? It is not a free gift of nature like the air we breath. 
Refusal to call that kind a land a product reflects an indeological 
bias. It is one of the articles of faith of the Georgies and the LVT 
evangelists. These religious -fanatics- have to have an explanation of 
social and economic inequality. Blame it on the rent seekers. Blame it 
on the capitlists. Blame it on the plutocrats. Blame it on inherited 
wealth. Why not blame it on the fact that we are not all clones from the 
same egg? If God wanted us to be kind to each other He would have fixed 
it so we could feel another's pain as vividly as we feel our own.
