   The theme: what happens when they privatise oxygen, and you have to pay

I gather there is actually a plan afoot to privatize food, so that you
will have to pay according to how much you eat.

But isn't ownership of physical objects acceptable under the Gnu
Doctrines?  Oxygen (unlike information) isn't duplicatable at no cost.
