Unsurprisingly, I share a lot of your feelings towards jealousy. I am not a jealous person at all. I think freedom, trust, and communication are far more important than possession.
I don't understand people who try to make others jealous to get attention. I do't understand why the person they are tryng to make jealous in that situation wouldn't get mad at *them* for the attempted emotional manipulation. Bah, people are dumb :p
I'm not 100% sure that all possessiveness is jealous though. Sometimes it is just plain selfishness. I don't want you to spend tiem with that person because I want you to spend time with *me*.
And oh, that just opened a whole can of semantics in my head about the relationship between words/language and feelings -_-
