   Re: [xml-dev] Capitalism and XML

Excellent point. Sooner than later we will have to pay for the air we
breathe, just wait till it becomes a scarce resource because of pollution.

We may also have to pay for the right to "use" our own DNA eventually [1].
Check out also how industry and goverment are interested in protecting our
privacy [2] and what is in store for those who will oppose it all [3]. As
usual, it was all predicted by science-fiction writers such as Philip Dick
:-)
