Re: save waters & fish from socialism's destruction

My first reaction is to get furious at this junk; my second reaction
is to laugh.

Let's save the Everglades from "socialism" - in Jeb Bush's state of
Florida.

LOL!!!!

It's appalling that there actually are libertarians, or people calling
themselves libertarians, who are so block-headed or so ideologically
obsessed not to see the absurdity in this.

You might as well be detected "socialism" in the New York Stock
Exchange ... but you're not going to see this, are you?  Because you
don't want to.  Oh, well.

For anyone who has functioning brain, and who really cares about the
control of water pollution, I recommend some research on the condition
of the rivers of Great Britain in the 1840-1900 period, back when
Britain was the leading market economy in the world and libertarian
and/or "laissez faire" economic principles were the rage.

Pollution wasn't regulated by government fiat back then, and the only
legal bulwark against water pollution was the system of property
rights, as enforced by the British courts.  The results were just what
a sane person would expect from the unregulated market - i.e.,
absolutely disgusting.  The whole mess was documented rather
thoroughly in a Royal Commission on the Prevention of Rivers Pollution
in the period 1870-1876, which you can probably find in a good
library.

Now "Rex" and his libertarian buddies want to take us back to the Good
Old Days.  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb ....

It would be kind of interesting if the State of Florida were to try
this, though. It would be fun to see free-market ideologues like Rex
having to drink the results of their grand experiments, unfiltered,
from the tap.
