So we speak about how the world really works, right?

And one of the most compelling ways to discredit a doctrine is to show that it has no relationship with reality. It's just not how the

world really works. And one of those, for instance, is the doctrine of equality. Now, it is fairly well known that in the early 17th century,

when the pilgrims arrived in New England, the first couple of years, they nearly starved. People did

die. And one of the things is that they had adopted the principle of

equality. What they did is that they had one big community farm and the produce of the farm was

shared equally. Well, the farm performed so poorly that by the time it was divided up among all the pilgrim families,

there was literally not enough to sustain life.

And so the next year, they were literally saved by a decision to allocate to each man

a section of the land. And so each man had his own homestead, his own area, and out of that, all of a sudden, the productivity of the land multiplied by many times.

So, you know, it's very simple.

We understand that in the real world, people care more about their own possessions and their own property

than they do about anybody else's.
