Like Planet Earth. The problem is not common ownership per se but the fact that people can profit from things without paying the full costs. It's deeply embedded in capitalism, where the motive is to privatise profits and socialise costs. It was at the heart of Thatcherism and Reaganism and is

Can't imagine how bad the National Parks would be if there wasn't some policing involved to stop what would inevitably turn the parks to trash. I've seen examples of that even with park rangers. -Original Message- >From: "P. J. Alling" >Subject: Re: A car park wall > >The department of

The department of the interior has "ownership", I mean like an old fashioned commons, muddy ugly and overgrazed. The current national parks, and public lands system in actual operation is more like a fiefdom, where the local lord, (DOI), enforces his rules sometimes arbitrarily. You can see

Thanks, P. J. I agree, it certainly could stand a closer crop. Was such a dull featureless day that I didn't even consider it worth saving. A black and white eagle shot didn't appeal to me. I had the image up at the time I decided to try a system check post. Didn't post it out of pride. Turned out
