I'll accept smaller circles, cairns and standing stones may have been family or community affairs, but you'll never convince me the larger structures were built by communities for the love of some philanthropic leader Paul. In my eyes since farming began it's all been about money, or at least payment in kind/ barter etc. Hope this doesn't take this off on too much of a tangent but if you're under the impression things were different then i'd love to see any factually accepted evidence for such.
I've a love/hate relationship with our ancestors, it all sound idyllic, but then consider the slash and burn land clearing, the planets problems started with our ancestors, of that there's little doubt. ;)
