Please don't use the word "economic" when
referring to the Georgist articles of faith. Please
don't use the word "literate" in reference to what
you are saying.

The supply of natural resources including land most
definitely depend on discovery and development,
which means that it is most definitely not fixed.

It is being created by conscious human effort all the
time.

That's why the Georgist argument is complete
nonsense.
