You forgot Rent, Lease, Win and a whole slew of other transferral
systems. At any rate, wasn't the entire North American continent stolen?
If I were a religious man I'd quote the phrase:
"Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and
unto God the things that are God’s"
But I'm not (even though I did just quote it ;). More appropriate to the
world of today is the following quote:
"All your base are belong to us".
Ownership is an illusion... What you have may be taken away at anytime
by the state (be it your own state or a victorious state that just
subjugated your previous state).
Moving along to the philosophical... anything that exists is merely a
permutation of what might exist. Don't expect that only one living
entity can envision such a permutation.
Cheers,
Rob.
