Very good point. Somewhere along the way a lot of people began to think they somehow had a right to have their wants satisfied. I'm a big believer in meeting human needs for everyone, such as helping developing/poor nations learn better farming techniques, providing access to power/water-treatment tech, teaching the teachers, etc. But I stop at trying to insure that everyone has two cars, a townhouse, and TV in every room. I'm not even sure having more "stuff" here in the USA is always such a good thing... it just seems to make us want more.
And I certainly don't believe that stealing things we "want" is acceptable. I can understand a kid who's hungry stealing an apple to eat, but stealing games? That's not right.
