If you own a field jointly with your wife, and you plant pine in it, and patiently pay the taxes as the pine grows, but don't pay insurance, would it be good for your wife to decide to set the field on fire when the trees are nearly ready for harvest?  She would be doing what she likes with things that she owns, so, good in your book, right?

I have no idea what you're prattling on about. You asked a question and I gave you a simple, concise, and correct answer. Then you start convulsing or something, I don't know, like your brain locked up or something and you posted and deleted a bunch of things and then going on about buttons and fields and fires. It's odd.

I asked a question and you gave a simple, concise, and utterly moronic answer.  The pine farm story is taking your answer to the extreme.  I'm not saying Elon should be legally prevented from doing what he wants with what he owns (unless he's defrauding people) but I am saying there is such a thing as doing a bad thing with the thing you own.  There is good stewardship, and bad stewardship.

The buttons meme is the two answers that I'm sure most of you were thinking when I asked homebiscuit which post is whining.  Again, I'm not whining.  Nothing is gained or lost or decided here.  You can be wrong and continue to be wrong for all anyone cares. Why would I whine about it?
