I hate it when they call this a privatization it's just the state giving a particular company the sole right to exploit people so that they don't have to suffer the bad publicity from doing it themselves. Licensing =/= privatization!

The great thing about the market is that, unlike democracy, minority opinions can still be catered to.

If you bold and italicize "can" then I think that's accurate.

Rights to the integrity of your body, on the other hand, are generally thought of as absolute.

If rights over your body are close to absolute, what about what I do with my body? Am I allowed to move my arms and legs as i wish?

I was a little less-then-happy leaving that, but I didn't want to butcher your words. Although it's at least partly accurate, the minority on a particular topic is asked (told) to bend to the will of the majority (withen limits set by law).

If you kill someone don't you lose the right of full ownership of your body?

I don't understand what you're saying here. If you kill someone then you forfeit a leg?

It all depends on your definition of absolute I guess. If you're in the middle of a killing spree I am morally justified in shooting you do you lose ownership of your leg? Probably not but can you be said to have absolute ownership of something that I am morally entitled to put a bullet in?

Where are you deriving your "moral entitlement" from to shoot somebody?

Re: Property and water rights?
 

Self defense which stems ironically from self ownership like I say I this is a problem of definition rather than disagreement
