I can buy meat in the shops much cheaper and with much less effort than hunting. It is also completely irrelevant. It has nothing to do with what I need. It's what I want.
What if your neighbour
wants the absolute opposite than you want? If what he wants is equally legal as what you want, would you still rather see him dead? Like, if the neighbour's son wanted to marry your daughter, but you wouldn't want him to be your son-in-law? Bang? Should the ditch bordering your piece of land and the neighbours be on your side or his? That was the reason why my mother's foster father shot his neighbour. He
wanted the ditch to be on the other side...
I'd
want to keep all of the money my customers pay me, but somehow the majority of it goes elsewhere. The taxman wants one quarter for VAT and income tax, the insurance companies want a fifth or so, the traffic bureau wants some, so does the telephone company, the car repair shop, the advertising medias etc. Don't they understand that I don't
want to pay them three quarters of my turnover?
The primitive farmers
needed to protect their sheep in order to get wool and meat. There's also a reason why certain herding dogs
needed to be big and strong. Fences are for keeping the cattle gathered, not for protection. A fenced flock of sheep far away is equal to a bird feeder. The Early Man knew that.
