I was thinking of John Donne:
“No man is an island, entire of itself…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
No it doesn’t.
Khmer had guns…
I thought that was Kirk? Sulu was a fencer.
I believe Sulu expressed his interest in guns in Sturgeon’s “Shore Leave.”
Now you’re describing our system.
No, he’s describing all systems. No possessions only works if the persons owning things in common are all angels.
And eventually there was war even in Heaven.
Well, we could go back to being Monkeys in the trees and bush, because the only way there will be no possessions is if there is nothing to possess.
But hell, even then, someday someone is going to come for my pointed stick.
I don’t know, I think it would rather interesting. I mean, clothes are possessions, right?
“Pardon me, Miss Portman, but I need to have your clothes.”
The next line, of course is:
“That’s interesting. Because my large psychopathic friend, standing right behind you with an revolver in one hand, a shotgun and his other hand, and an axe in his other other hand, needs your liver.”
Wait, your ATM lets you withdraw $5000 at once? That’s the most blase recounting of a near castration by people who think Haile Selassi is Jesus I’ve ever read.
But come on, even animals have possessions. Dogs jealously hide their squeaky toys under the deck and lots of animals guard territories, food, or mates from rivals.
Meh. People would just have some other thing to fight and kill for. Livestock, land, a better cave, whatever.
He is not only large and psychopathic, he had three arms as well.
At least three arms! 
I mean, it’s Natalie freaking Portman! She gets a four-dimensional bodyguard on account of being Earth’s hottest woman.
for a better word lets say god wanted us to all just do one thing,like a barter system with no money,i built the homes,someone else grew food someone else delivered the food someone else was a carpenter someone else was a acct,and everyone did there job for everyone and everyone did there job for you…but man is of sin and greed,but i think before we screwed up that was the way it was supposed to be,no $$$ just you do your job,and everyone else do there’s…i would be nice…
Natalie’s got a thing for mutants. Devendra Banhart could shoot lasers out of his eyes.
God not being handy, who decides who gets what job?
They’ll have to pry my pointed stick from my cold, dead fingers.
Fool of a Genoshan!
Banhart’s optic blasts are concussive force only. If they were lasers they would not be visible.
