I disagree with your premise, but agree with your conclusion. There aren't many people in the world who have done more damage to the working...
So homesteading doesn't mean going on to an idle field that has been claimed already and is idle for a reason? Do you differentiate between...
I think the feasibility is an important thing to remember though. Anyways I completely agree with you on the bold part.
Not really - even in your hypothetical case the land owner would have to have something of value in order to trade with. You're also assuming the...
I don't really agree completely with the homestead rule as the determinant of property - even land. Take this for example - homesteading...
I'm not sure how you can say you didn't work for the air that flows above your yard, as it is your yard that delineates which air that is. The...
I agree with you actually. Therefore you must prove using science that the pollution harmed you to a jury. You have the right to use experts as...
The Consequentialist stance on air would be to sue the bastard that polluted it =p as the consequence of your action is tort. This does not...
No - if someone polluted your air you'd have legal recourse to seek damages. Also - how would you enforce stopping someone from breathing? I...
Absolutely, thanks for asking. Ancient Greece, Rome, 1920's Germany to name a few. Most "democracies" today are actually Republics, aka Rule...
This is demonstrably false. I agree with you that in one screenshot of time this is true. HOWEVER, trade occurs through time so your analogy...
I disagree - I think you own the air above your property (at a specific point in time of course). If someone pollutes said air - should you not...
I don't like direct democracy - it always leads to totalitarianism poverty and death. Besides that I agree that our government is corrupt. The...
Most of your post is great - except this part. No, no no no, and NO!. Private property and economics as a whole are NOT zero sum games. Exactly...
Clint - this is the best post I've read from you yet....nicely said! 100% agree.
I agree with you except on your opinions of Clinton and Obama - but otherwise very good post. You have a good eye to see the contradictions...
Are you calling the leader of the DSP a liar? It came from his mouth.
And...since they do it THROUGH government...
I see where he is coming from though Trinnity - I would argue one must be completely comfortable and honest with oneself before they can truly...
Someone that gets it, +rep
It's not compromise if all we've gotten is more government for 90 years. Most Republicans want to eliminate SSI, a compromise would be to...
Proof and evidence? The 'progressive' stance is even older - it goes back to the slave states of ancient times.
Are you not evil for stealing from your neighbors?
You're disgusting. Would you compromise with the slavers in the 1800's?
And you sow the seeds of your response's destruction with your own words. Is it capitalism that bails out banks or is it corporatism? Is it...
