"Why would I want their obedience to be voluntary? That would be meaningless, I I'd be looking at tacky yard gnomes and far worse."

You are it appears the sort of person who believes that you can actually own the beach.

Down in Plymouth, Mass. there were some folks who bought beach view property up on a hill a while back, and then natural erosion took away their yard and threatened their actual home.

Naturally they called for me and other taxpayers to help solve their problems because the beach decided to take over their private property.

I think that gnomes and such are quite tacky, and I despise the fact that my neighbor has them in his yard. I also hate the traffic. I'll move in time, but meanwhile, I respect the rights of people to be ignorant, stupid, and happy, as long as they stay out of my yard.

Someday I'll buy a yard big enough to keep their bad taste from my line of sight.

Meanwhile, it is live and let live.

You appear to be the sort of person who has minimal grasp of economic reality, and the property rights principles real Conservatives hold dear.
