Listen sdduude, what I was attempting to do in my first post was to expose a very common double standard:
Whatever you want to do (waste oil) you define of as an inalienable right, and whatever you do NOT want to do you (incur public debt) you want to impose on everyone, although perhaps through a democratic political process of some sort.
Why does not the same standard apply the other way around? Or better yet, why do we not apply a regular democratic standard to all decisions and choices that clearly affect EVERYONE and are not just a private matter that does not affect anyone else?
This whole business of getting on a high horse and claiming inalienable rights in a matter that clearly affects directly every person on the planet is inconsistent, one might even say plain wrong.
