Dude. Yes. And then, if you extend the idea of land property not being valuable, not being a precious commodity (although I have reservations about the idea; presumably land that no one cares about is cheap, so to speak,you just move in, but what about land that's been cultivated, even partially? I would guess there's some measure of competition over the land that the culled lived on), then what is? People are naturally competitive (I believe): what would Pegasus people compete over?

Plus, you get all the shiny possibilities that derive from this, and which you could fold into a critique of the Euro-centric canon; the society in "Harmony" FOR EXAMPLE. Not that "Harmony" pissed me off beyond belief, or anything.
