| Below is the "rexwrite" response to the
non-libertarian article on the right. My first reaction is to get furious --at socialistic junk; my second reaction is to laugh. Let's save the Everglades from "capitalism" - under a governor who is outspending and outsocializing any other governor from any party before him. But that's always the case because there is no difference between the D&Rs, they are all just socialists. LOL!!!! It's appalling that there actually are socialists, or people calling themselves socialists, who are so block-headed or so ideologically obsessed not to see the absurdity in their own philosophy. They might as well try the tired socialist arguments that the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Communist China and the National Socialist German Workers' Party really weren't "socialist/communist" ... but you're not going to see this, are you? Because you don't want to. Oh, well. For anyone who has functioning brain, and who really cares about the control of water pollution, I recommend some research on the condition of the rivers of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Communist China, back when they were the leading socialist basketcases in the world and socialism and/or "socialist" economic principles were the rage. Waters weren't protected by private property rights back then, and the only legal bulwark against water pollution was......none. The results were just what a sane person would expect from the tragedy of the commons - i.e., absolutely disgusting. The whole mess was documented rather thoroughly in various books and news reports, which you can probably find on the net. Now the critic and his buddies want to take us back to the Good Old Days or expand the "statist quo." Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb .... It would be kind of interesting if the State of Florida were to continue to embrace socialism, though. It would be fun to see socialist ideologues having to drink the results of their grand experiments, unfiltered, from the tap. The former U.S.S.R., East Europe, and China prove that socialism is environmentally disastrous. The Everglades prove that socialism is environmentally disastrous for Florida. Government built roads through the Everglades, straightened rivers, drained wetlands, cut canals, and subsidized cattle and sugar with taxes and other socialism. The government has already done more damage than private enterprise could ever have afforded to do. Government's restoration plans are costly frauds. Let's fight the government's antidisestablishmentarianism. The best environment is a capitalist environment. The Everglades prove that the color of a healthy environment and the color of money are the same. Mother Nature is a capitalist. Capitalists are the true greens. |
Below are comments from one critic about my article
on ending socialism in waterways and fishing. My first reaction is to get furious at this junk; my second reaction is to laugh. Let's save the Everglades from "socialism" - in Jeb Bush's state of Florida. LOL!!!! It's appalling that there actually are libertarians, or people calling themselves libertarians, who are so block-headed or so ideologically obsessed not to see the absurdity in this. You might as well be detected "socialism" in the New York Stock Exchange ... but you're not going to see this, are you? Because you don't want to. Oh, well. For anyone who has functioning brain, and who really cares about the control of water pollution, I recommend some research on the condition of the rivers of Great Britain in the 1840-1900 period, back when Britain was the leading market economy in the world and libertarian and/or "laissez faire" economic principles were the rage. Pollution wasn't regulated by government fiat back then, and the only legal bulwark against water pollution was the system of property rights, as enforced by the British courts. The results were just what a sane person would expect from the unregulated market - i.e., absolutely disgusting. The whole mess was documented rather thoroughly in a Royal Commission on the Prevention of Rivers Pollution in the period 1870-1876, which you can probably find in a good library. Now "Rex" and his libertarian buddies want to take us back to the Good Old Days. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb .... It would be kind of interesting if the State of Florida were to try this, though. It would be fun to see free-market ideologues like Rex having to drink the results of their grand experiments, unfiltered, from the tap. |
