Barry Fagin writes that disposing of private property inevitably affects others. I think that Barry's example is slightly different from mine because the house next to me is vacant. I was not totally joking when I proposed burning the house down. There is sufficient spacing between houses that no danger to any neighbors would result. Believe me, I have planned this very well in my fantasies... But seriously, the only practical options are to grin and bear it, fix it up myself, or wait for the old buzzard to die. Back to poli-sci... I think that this culture, that is, North American, has generally agreed that a neighborhood should generally have houses of equal worth. Since libertarianism denies this, I expect that libertarianism is and shall remain, a theoretical concept only. Perhaps we should move the main topic of this list away from libertarianism to something a little bit more practical. Then again, perhaps we're staying away from emotion-arousing discussions to reduce the traffic in this newsgroup. I would rather discuss political systems that have a ghosts chance of being adopted, even if it means more flames. I'll be thinking about it, after checking the halogen cannister to be sure that it's full. :-)
