Pure crap. Let me give you an example: You haven't paid property tax for a while. Then your property can be taken away from you. Which means it was never yours. You just had a licence to say it was yours. As soon as you stopped paying the yearly fee for the license, the truth came out. So, lets wake up and and stop thinking that we live in paradise. By the way, I like the idea of the duel. That would really be great, if they want to fight, let them do it themselves and stop messing the lives of others (who will not make any money from the oil anyway!)
