Maybe not in politics.

I like pizza. Do you like pizza?

glatt: Maybe not in politics. I like pizza. Do you like pizza?

See, this thread ain't about politics. That you think it is, that you think 'life, liberty, property' is political...well, that's what utilitarianism, communitarianism does to a mind.

As for pizza: yep.

sexobon: If it had been life, liberty, and pursuit of punani, I would've been all in. Property; however, is something you can lose half of if you get divorced. Then there's that gov't right to eminent domain confliction (kinda like the gov't divorcing you).

Ain't no right to pussy.

Divorce: pick better, be nicer, or cover your ass in advance.

Eminent domain: theft (or, coercion), pure and simple.

But there's a right to pursue it, as I said.

Most people aren't clairvoyant. Shit happens even in the best of scenarios.

Your property rights are limited to the market value of your property. Try filing an insurance claim, on something that's lost/stolen/damaged, and demanding to be compensated for sentimental value.

"But there's a right to pursue it, as I said."

Yep, my mistake.

Yep, that's why I said 'cover your ass in advance' (pre-nup, anyone?)

"Your property rights are limited to the market value of your property."

Indeed, but irrelevant. Eminent domain isn't gov askin' to buy your land. E.D. is gov takin' your land. You get 'market value': big deal. If you didn't wanna sell, you were coerced, you were robbed (of choice, of dignity, of volition).

Not for the consequentialist, no.

"The disagreement is in what the laws are."

The disagreement (between us) is far deeper and wider than that.

Or for anyone who recognizes the need for laws.

Your language is more grandiose, I suppose.
