OWS more like Occupy the World I saw a post called Occupy Starbucks BIG LOL! Occupy Internet WTF?! Occupy Grocery Store THEE! & many more! You can't make this up. yet it is hilarious. To be honest there is a 5% of the so called 99%ers who actually are ppl who are agreeing with the teaparty & yet standing with these socialist zombies. This was however the plan all along by the ppl behind the scenes is to bring to past transformation. It actually has made me start to cry sometimes for the country.

Block explains (well you'll just have to listen to his video on environmentalism, which he has a few) that the best way to maintain a healthy and clean environment is not through some monster bureaucracy, but instead protecting and enforcing property rights. When you start to explain this to these militant religious environmentalists, usually it goes right over there head, but sometimes it opens their mind to something they've never heard before--wow, the possibilities. Keep doing what you doing

As for the Buffalo being held as common property, hunters went out on the plains and try to get as many of them as they could before the next guy did, precisely because no one owned them. When people own something they look towards making profits in the future, so they obviously will take care of it. That's why the logging companies in North America have been planting more trees than we've ever had, because they are allowed to own that resource, they plant more after they cut for future gains.

Walter Block goes into the "tragedy of the commons" which you will find interesting. This is why in the 1800s the American Buffalo was almost wiped out. They were seen as "Indian culture"who didn't believe in private property. Since they were common property it created a market for their hides. Block asks why weren't cows almost wiped out too. They are basically the same animal with the same hide. When something is held in common property, then nobody owns it and nobody will take care of it.

You are another voice of reason out there, which I admire and thank you for. Those Occupy jackknives are truly what Lenin referred to as "useful idiots." Respect for private property by individuals and the government, according to F.A. Aayek, is the number one factor for conducting a free society. Check out this great Austrian economist, Walter Block, here on Youtube; concerning the environment. His book "Economics and the Environment;" it should be required reading for all them enviro-wackos.
