I have of late been concerned about the fairness of taking a settlement.  I found assurance that I have a right to such in an article I read on the Galactic Connection site entitled Ashtar on the Road – Tara & Rama Report 27May 2014.  Within it was cited another article, The Case for Reparations.  At the top of that article was the following quote:

And if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty: thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing today.

— Deuteronomy 15: 12–15

So it would seem that my time where I have been justifies a settlement, especially when it is considered that my son feels that I am treated more as a servant here.
