Hey... There are a LOT of things I don't worry about simply because I don't have to...

You're different in this regard?

Yes, I give a damn about other people's rights that don't affect me. No, I'm not a selfish bastard.

"...Yes, I give a damn about other people's rights that don't affect me..."

You're just not paying attention S2R...

The ENTIRE thrust of my argument here is that intangibles like 'viewsheds' and the underlying restrictions intended to create and enforce them are a BS corruption of the law, fully ripe for challenge, and that they are in no way whatsoever equivalent to authentic intangibles like mineral or water rights, which may rightly be divorced from a property's surface rights.

I'm not indifferent to the rights of another, I dispute that this particular ersatz 'right' is legitimate.

This isn't that tough to follow...

"...No, I'm not a selfish bastard..."

If, by 'selfish bastard' you mean someone who looks out for number one first...

Duh...

I plead guilty.

If you don't look out for number one first and foremost you'll be victimized. That's the kind of world we live in, that the sort of creatures we are.

If you are truly 'unselfish', as defined here, would you mind if I victimized you?

If no one else has dibs on your cash, would you send it to me ASAP?

To put your interests before mine would be, as you know, a selfish act.

And we can't have that, can we?
