So freedom is the right to adversely affect the lives of others just because
you happen to be standing on property you own?
BS! Almost everything we do has a beneficial affect on some and an
adverse affect on others. We have zoning laws to keep a business from
going up in a residential neighborhood. We have noise and junk
abatement laws. And that's about as much interference with property
rights as there should be. If I want to chop down all my trees and
plant pink flamingos, that's my business.
The situations need to be considered on their own merits, and in
whole. The ownership of the land involved may be a factor in who can
initiate consideration of the situation. It may, in some situations, be the
most important consideration. But it shouldn't always be the most important
And folks say that socialism is dead :-).
