To the moon Alice!
Apparently NASA is looking into what it would take to set up a lunar base on the moon. According to BBC News a bunch of people are getting ready to put up Coldwell Banker signs to let NASA know that they can't build on their property. Yeah right. Seriously though a claim of ownership has been made by US entrepreneur Dennis Hope, who in 1980 spotted a loophole in the 1967 United Nations Outer Space Treaty. So he sold the moon. Of course NASA guffaws at the idea that people can own property on the moon, and will just go ahead and do whatever it wants anyways. Tell that though to the 3.4 million property owners who own a plot on the moon, including Carrie Fisher, William Shatner, the Pope, George W Bush, and 30 NASA employees.
So here now for all to hear I declare that I own the entire moon. Every square inch of it is mine. Also I own the sun, even though it's not a planet, I still own it, and anyone who uses it's services will have to pay for them. Any single person using the light from my sun will owe me $5,000 dollars for every minute of usage.

After making the last post I felt it would be best if I took off my address.
While we're at it I own Pluto too... and that new planet they found that no one cares about. That ones mine as well. Yes, my empire is shaping up rather nicely. Napoleon eat your heart out.
Look. The point is this. We can't own things like the moon, or Pluto, or the sun, or even Earth. The land we use is never really ours, yes we can use it, yes we can defend it from being taken, but one day someone is going to build a Walmart there, or maybe the Chinese will take it when they invade us next year, or the Zoglicks from the planet Xebo after they're done eating our brains.
Sigh... I don't want to sound like a degenerate commie, (eh maybe I do) but we need to stop thinking in the mine mine mine fashion all the time. I'm not even saying we should think in the ours ours ours fashion either, or that we shouldn't buy property, because we have to to survive in this society that we created for ourselves, but it's not that I own it, you own it, or we own it, it just that it is there, and that it is.

I should of thought of that oil on the moon thing. Touché.
Kevin this all sounds kind of bogus.....it sounds like you have mental cases. j/k but really what the hell, if you ave ever read the bible it will tell you how people came of owning land....it might be bodus to so don't look into that, but seriously...say there was a man and a woman or a neandrathal and a neandrathalla and they lived here in the world first....after apes and dinos then more of them came in different colors and said this land is my land from california to the new york aisles to the red wood forrest and so on then the other colored neandrathals and thallas would be srewed...its not about owning land it is about territory....and as a man who doesn't pee in the toilet all the time you should know about that! and since people are big pussies instead of defending your territory now you give whoever money to make a contract saying that it is your territory and nobody can mess with it or you will make this huge law suit against them for mucho money
thats all

It is true. And I plan to defend the sun at all costs. If you would like to meet me there, we will battle to the death for it.
