Let's say I discover oil on my property here. Should I be able to let the side effects drain down into my neighbors pond? Shouldn't he be able to recover any damages I might cause, including recovering proveable reduction in property values? No, of course not. There's a method to handle that.

*Nice that you don't need police. If we got rid of them, you would.
*So, you feel that if America did not have military, we would still be invincible?
*I'd agree that the corporate form of business is a responsibility-dodge. With that liability back in place, stockholders would be placing their homes in jeopardy by investing? What would happen to commerce in that event?
Also, you seem to be suggesting that we replace regulation by gearing up the legal industry. I guess you feel we don't have enough attorneys and lawsuits as it sits?

*No, I don't need the police at all. They're not out here, because we have no police here. We do have a Sheriff's Deputies, only God knows where they are at any given moment. We defend ourselves here, and we're much safer for it. Also, in every jurisdiction in America, the police have no duty to protect any citizen at all, or didn't you know that?
*Yes, that's correct. The US Army has invaded a country of 27 million, wiped out their standing military in a few weeks, and is now completely stalemated and cannot win. That is not because they're
Mr. Niceguy either, in fact they've acted quite ruthlessly. Now, thnking of all the other countries on earth, which one do you see being able to come here and invade, even if there were no military troops at all? Name just one.
*You really want to go to the extreme of all possible situations, don't you? Companies, trusts if you will, would be liable for damages caused. Do you have an issue with that? A stockholder would be liable for the value of his stock loss, that's just about their liability now. You're asking for tactical answers, with no thought to strategic questions.
