I think libertarians got it wrong. You can't put up a fence, hold up a bill of sale and tell me that you own this meadow, this pasture, that pond or that forrest. These things need to belong to everyone. Property rights, but only to a reasonable extent my friend. A libertarian friend once tried to convince me that it's just if someone works harder (or whatever the happenstance because more frequently hard work has absolutely nothing to do with it) than others then they deserve to have more. I can't get my mind around that. Especially when there is finite "stuff" and human beings die of starvation everyday.
