[quote=scaredycat]Can you imagine a future where the endgame of consume, own, destroy, profit is seen as being as insane as the idea that some people were property others got to own?[/quote]
I strongly object to the concept that defining property rights implies an endgame of “consume, own, destroy, profit.”
Indeed, defining property rights allows those who wish to preserve resources to do so by purchasing them, holding them, and nurturing them. But, you have to do it yourself. You can’t go running to the government to do it, as you do now.
And they’ll F*&^ it up anyway, and put it in the hands of BP.
