What part of the country are you from? I'll bet I can find property rights and land use abuses by your area government.
You said "What part of the country are you from? I'll bet I can find property rights and land use abuses by your area government."
I live near Atlanta, Georgia. I would be interested in learning about land use abuses around here. The only abuses I am aware of are those instigated by large businesses who want to profit from from their land use but without consideration for how their activities impact their neighbors.
But I also want to get back to the orginal topic. If conservation could be enacted without loss of freedom or property rights (such as a situtation where the majority of citizens agree on a course of action) would you be for conservation or against it?
