| This question <22|35> overall <27|29> Braydon: <27|29>. |
| Question 22: Are there things which can be useful without being in the exclusive possession of the user? |
| [28] Braydon: Yes, any product of the public utilities industry, whether it be power, water or gas. These are very useful to us, but we do not own the industry. It is not in our exclusive posession. |
| Hans: Do you need to own General Motors to drive a car? Power, water and gas must be in your exclusive possession. The kilowatt hour which you are using cannot be used by others. |
| [28] Braydon: Entertainment is also an industry we do not owm, but we find it very useful. We rent the rights, let's say, on a Friday night when we go to the movies and to a lot of us it is a weekly ritual and of great value. |
| Hans: But for this rental fee you have exclusive possession of a chair in the auditorium. |
| [28] Braydon: Human beings are not in our exclusive possession, but we find them very useful to us. Actually, a necessary part of a happy existence for most of us. My baby son is of great value to me and someday he will not be mine. |
| Hans: He is not your property even now, he is a different human being! |
