One good thing, the tennis player found out and arranged a private meeting with the kid and gave him a new autographed hat.

When we decided to engage in the sort of intensive agriculture that required us to remain in one place for most or all of the year. Once we stopped being semi-nomadic pastoralists and became agriculturalists people quickly decided they "own" land, and could rent-seek. That's where it all started.
