On every front environmental protection is in retreat, hammered by the overwhelming, stark force of money. Yet still the exploiters whine about property rights, as critical habitats disappear.<br /><br />-Adam R.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955691670049830140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-15247666269889856312011-06-11T01:57:56.006-04:002011-06-11T01:57:56.006-04:00John: American law has made a kludge out of figur...John: American law has made a kludge out of figuring out where the public right to regulate ends, and individual property begins. This is just one idea to partially dekludgify it, which I think has some benefit to the General Welfare in making rights clearer. And it will generally, but not always, allow greater environmental protection.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301230860904555513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-56410151218874990722011-06-10T19:25:07.337-04:002011-06-10T19:25:07.337-04:00@willard

Boards composed of gentle housewives and failed artisans control land use here in the States. And they're always alarmist about the poor tree that may need to be executed to make way for a humble abode. There is more concern for the poor bunnies that will become homeless and the foxes that eat them than the right of the human to use her land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
