  1. Hows-bout this, a law stating that all pollution decreed to be harmful to my life be contained and disposed of properly. (filtering, capturing it before it can get into the atmosphere) Now if this pollution is contained on private property, without going otherwise, no problem. Do you all think that it would be outside the limits of government to enforce such a thing?
  2. Can you define how you care for/about him? (I will resist the urge to make a bad joke about spinach)
  3. !!!!!!!!!!! YOU MEAN GALT'S GULCH ISN'T REAL?!?!?!?!?
  4. guru kid: some races have advantages over others, I believe it was the nigerians that genetically are better at sprint/running, this is the same as saying that I, being mexican, are less susceptible too sunburn. ps- many places that remained "hardcore" tribal longer than others had more chance of weaker genes being strained out. In a civilized society, the genetically weaker people could still survive.
  5. so one would need to track the source of each molecule of pollute? (carbon dioxide isn't harmful) think china where coal is THE fuel for heating, cooking etc. obviously it does do something. (note: I AM playing devils advocate)
  6. has anyone thought about making it in trilogy form? kill bill was one movie, but was cut in twain for time constraints, why not do the same?
  7. so when that "big business" pollutes the air releases monoxide what have you, it is liable for damages, where do you draw the line, is my car/stove/cigarette cause for me to be liable? or is it not because it's out of need? how high up does my property go? property rights on air?
  8. A short while ago, I was reading an anti-Ayn book ("It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand") mostly for the unintentional humor. Later in the book he starts attacking Ayn Rand on the worshiping smoke stacks thing. He didn't succeed in much except to look stupid, but then I thought, yes, it's producing through non-productive elements, but the smog (insert pollutant here) IS harmful to people. Then again so is a stove. The fact remains it is harmful. If things unsuper-cool based on degree of harm, where do you set the line? [Edited to capitalize everything that should be. Matt]
  9. yes, as many of you have probaly read before, ayn rand said that a non-violent way to stop communism etc. in other countries would be an economic boycott. I've thought of this for a long time and i still can't think of any way this would be possible other than EVERY corporation to agree to the boycott, but how? wouldn't a business see this as an opportunity to capitalize on the nations business's? hmm? hmmm?
  10. by the way, all of you need to go to nationstates.net, and after you make your "nation" move it to the region galts gulch. it will make sense when you get there.
  11. just curious, if you read Galt's speech out loud, does it come out as three hours long?
