@oszillum Arable land, which is land capable of growing crops on, is a finite resource, and therefore a rare commodity. It should not be bought and sold between people, corporations, or governments. The "unpleasant way," you mention for solving this situation is actually part of the natural selection process; we see it play out in the animal kingdom all the time...predatory animals control the region of land they call home...if another predator wants to lay claim, they must fight for what they want until one walks away victorious. Is it the best method of resolving the problem...in my humble opinion, it is. Consider for a moment the process by which prey animals survive...they seldom stand and fight, but rather run helter skelter in flight, allowing the weakest members of the heard to be culled through the natural selection process...this, in turn, makes the entire unit that much stronger, and therefore less susceptible to prey in the future. This is however, just my opinion.
