[/ QUOTE ] Who has the legitimate right to stop you? [/ QUOTE ] Everyone. [/ QUOTE ] If I think your car is polluting the air I breathe should I be able to stop you from driving it? How about all the plastic products you use? You are driving the demand for that pollution, should I be able to stop you from using plastic? Should I be able to stop you from consuming anything if I can show how all your consupmtion harms the environment in some way? In the case of the polluted lake, laws were most likely violated and violaters should have been punished. The system isn't perfect. The governmental body with juristiction over that lake let you down. |

You must realize by now that our conception of "rights" is vastly different, so proceeding down that alley will be unlikely to prove fruitful. |

If I think your car is polluting the air I breathe should I be able to stop you from driving it? [/ QUOTE ] If you really felt strongly about it, you could try. I suppose cars, to me, fall within acceptable bounds, although I find their overuse rather unfortunate. [ QUOTE ] How about all the plastic products you use? You are driving the demand for that pollution, should I be able to stop you from using plastic? Should I be able to stop you from consuming anything if I can show how all your consupmtion harms the environment in some way? [/ QUOTE ]] Again, you are free to try. [ QUOTE ] In the case of the polluted lake, laws were most likely violated and violaters should have been punished. The system isn't perfect. The governmental body with juristiction over that lake let you down. [/ QUOTE ] So did the people who polluted it. |

What if reasonable people disagree, do you propose that those that can excercise force (governmnet) win out? The people who polluted the lake did not have a fiduciary responsibility to maintain the lake. It is the responsibility of the governmnet you entrust to see that laws are enforced and rights are protected. |
