but the owner of that square inch doesnt have an interest in maintaining. they have an interest in profiting from it. collective ownership means that the only profit is for the collective and when that is the case, exploitation and dumping dont happen

"Privatization does not mean you take an public institution and give it to some nice person; it means rather, that you take a public institution and give it to an unaccountable tyranny" - Noam Chomsky
Yeah that Michael Walker is really making sense. First of all we can't polute the air with Carbon Dioxide. No that's bad! Experts disagree on that matter though, and so do I.
Then ofcourse we pay for poluting. It's so brilliant! Then we still polute. But it costs us money and maybe once we have enough dollar bills we can use them to say... plug the hole in the ozon layer?
The stupidity of people for buying this crap! It's almost time to move to planned-opolis. Got your bags packed already?
This is idiotic. There are of course activities that the free market or free people cannot or will not do for one reason or another of which is necessary for the general welfare of a society to which the government can and must engage in said activity. However, the reverse is true that there are other activities that benefit the public that is best left to private entities or individuals. Let's get te facts right ppl
@tatsumakisempyukaku Depends on what it is and the ethics behind it . Health care?,Schools?,Water! Although I agree the problem is that eventually the private industry could end up doing more harm than good based on their own need for profit. Depending on each case
@blueiguy1 well according to the ethical frame work of the constitution, maximizing individual liberty is paramount. Needless to say, one's liberty cannot transgress the liberties of others. but the core of my comment was to show that this video is very misleading. Of course the private sector can cause harm, but so too can the public. My vision would be to achieve the best possible equilibrium betweeen the two sectors. and what neither can do ought not be done at all
@blueiguy1 I believe healthcare and schools ought to be more privatized. I work as a nurse and know first hand how some of these bills being passed will affect us. And as for schools, teachers unions have monopolized that industry. I have no sympathy for a teacher that's only obligated to work 180 a year and get 45k dollars a year when i have to work nearly twice as much for the same pay. What would fix schools would be to pay a school if and only if they produce educated kids.
@tatsumakisempyukaku And you think privatization is the answer? The problem with unions has as much to do with management as it does with the unions, but you have no problem with the management. Privatization is BS. Corporations get far more help than you or the unions. Look at the Wall Street bail out for example.
@pvisserandorra: ok, it seems you have no understanding of a free market. first of all. we are not operating in a free market. so any criticism of capitalism is actually directed towards this corporotacracy or fascism we are in. Consider the fact that governent and big business or any big entity (latino groups, black groups, labor unions like the AMA, any identity group lobbying government) is ruining it for us. as for privatization, without that, there can be NO effective check against....
@pvisserandorra so as for privatization, with out that there can be no effective check against others in a free society. oh, as for your comment on corporations get far more help etc, in a corporatocracy that's exactly what will happen. and mind you, general motors didnt get bailed out, they didnt need it. all they needed to do was file bankruptcy, get rid of their unions and reorganize. No, GM got bailed out to bail out their union. But i agree with you insofar as companiess ought not get bail
@pvisserandorra in a true capitalism, there is a profit and LOSS mechanism. and it is the loss that forces the efficiency of a company or household. it is loss that forces a business to stop investing in something, it is loss that forces producers to stop producing what consumers do NOT want. But without loss one can continue doing the same stupid thing without end. whence why GM is still losing money despite their bail out. now if politicians can suffer loss like us then they'd stop da nonsens
@pvisserandorra i suggest you get a book called basic economics by Thomas sowell. it outlines everything you need to know about economics for the layman. it's in plain simple english. No math, no charts, no graphs. just common sense. it's the best $40 i spent. also get "free to choose" and "capitalism and freedom" by miltion friedman.
also, you can read Karl marx, even he says that history progresses in stages, capitalism coming before socialism and communism. and that each stage must be
@tatsumakisempyukaku Friedman is a corporate hack, and my understanding of economics is far beyond basic. I'm well aware that we do not live in a capitalistic world.
@tatsumakisempyukaku I support regulated capitalism, where speculation is taxed very heavily and anti trust is strictly enforced. Right now, capital has too loud a voice in our society. "Until industrial feudalism is replaced by industrial democracy, politics will be the shadow cast on society by big business." John Dewey.
Advice for Michael Walker from the Fraser Institute: There is a fundamental difference between 1) trade-able ownership of every cubic inch of every stream and 2) the ownership of the interests in those streams by a group of people who have an interest in maintaining them. The first is called commerce. The second is called SOVEREIGNTY. The second overrides the first! Only what is owned can be traded - the state should own what is COMMON to those from whose power it derives - not private citizens.
@triforcelink AHA! But first you need to impoverish a Nation, devalue their currency & shut down all industrial processes, then you can buy a forest, among other things.
Wow the word "solution" was uttered, just after saying it is ok to polute as long as you pay. WTF ??? Have you ever thought dumbarse that one mans polution is another mans product??? Wow now there is a solution. Dont use the word unless you actually are going to do it and NOT to make people happy.
The Communist fire brigade is the biggest threat to the country today. They are setting up death camps for your elderly relatives. It is the American way for firefighters to loot from competing firefighter's burning houses.
(part 2) If the interests in that piece of ocean were owned privately, maybe there would have been proper incentive to inspect BP's equipment and ensure that nothing like that would happen. Nobody wants their property to be destroyed like that. But when the government owns a piece of nature, they just lease it out to companies to have their way with it without much concern. The idea is, nobody takes care of someone else's property as well as they care for their own.
@qrqrqrqr1 That just proves the inherent selfish ethos of our governments and their capacity - not as servants of the public - but of shills for their corporate friends.
A sea-change in philosophy toward sustainability, fellowship and a striving toward a common good is the crux.
Giving up and handing our resources over to the puppeteers rather than the dolls they animate is cutting out the middleman, not solving the problem.
(part 1) I was hoping to see an actual argument against privatization as an environmental strategy, but it's just appeals to emotion and righteous indignation at the idea of privatizing the "commons". Well look at the freaking Gulf of Mexico. The government regulators of those commons failed terribly at preventing the oil spill. The regulators didn't own the property, so the incentives to maintain the property value just aren't there.
A public option running a lose is not a good thing. They run lose because no one cares about the money aspect and vast amounts of waste happen. Guess who pays for it all. Those lucky tax payers. Paying 100.00 a month in taxes for what would cost a lot less if profit dirven markets ran it. Socialism always fails when you run out of peoples money to spend.
@stoltzmans Exactly. Chomsky acts like the loss comes out of some nebulous "public sector", but it's a real, tangible loss sustained by the taxpayers against their will. The fact that the company runs at a loss and can't stand on its own feet without government shows that it's a net loss of value for society. The theme I see when it comes to government subsidy is, "look at the wonderful benefits of the subsidy, but ignore the people we took it from and what they could have done with the money".
People Owned the land it was called kings. Those who worked them were slaves. Now a man has the right to be king of his own castle. Globalism will make you all slaves to work the NWO's fields for you share of rice. Do people really believe this crap.
i'm from germany and i say to you people . go outside the US media and watch about everything . 9/11 was 100% made by secret services . NOT from Arabian terrorists . its the biggest lie ever ! watch what happens on our planet ! the US media is under control . german too i guess but we see a lot more here yet
insane shit man, stop the hate to people and start the revolution !
never forget the victims of 911 and the millions of dead afghan and iraqian civilian people !
...This whole time, I seriously thought that Michael Walker guy was being sarcastic, mocking those who think the way he ACTUALLY does. Man, it's scary to see that guys like he are in charge.
Paying for the amount of pollution a company makes doesn't sound like it produces ownership. It seems to be more of a tax, creating incentive to pollute less.
The problem is if you get people who own a province let's say of land, they never see the little things that matter and it more or less becomes a smaller form of centralized government..
the elites and aristocrats in control are comparable to ants dropped in water. wiggling and desperately grabbing at some substance to possibly comfort them before eminent death. not realizing the squirming is what allows them to sink. little anxiety attacks in a bowl, fearful of what they can't control, own and understand. generations of spoiled children raised to rule with mindsets such as the ones who coined "war is a theater". complete disregard of human suffering as they've never experienced
You can't own the entire earth asshole. The ownership you feel, the minuscule power high you obtain is but a mere illusion. And compared the rest of the universe, its doesn't even fucking exist moron. All the time you wasted "buying" out the world won't even matter when youe dead. Your idea isn't loony, it's redundant. You are obviously driven by wealth which does not even exist only in green, destructable material possesion. I'm 14, and I declare anarchy.
Funny they mentioned how firefighting was institutionalized and if you didn't have their seal/membership... they'd drive right by and not water down your burning property!
THAT JUST HAPPENNED TO SOMEONE and it was all over the news!
@MrApadirect damn right it is. there's information on youtube that teacher's unions don't want the public knowing. Look up john stossel on youtube a watch his reports on education. moreover, look up milton friedman's lectures on education. Lastly look up anything on thomas sowell with regards to education in america and you'll be convinced that there's a plot to dumb down the population
@tatsumakisempyukaku You forgot to mention Charlotte Iserbyt ;) she was the one who woke me up to the reality concerning education. In the US atleast. I suspect here in Europe the same methods have been applied.
@MrApadirect - Don't give another "CORPORATION" any props, YouTube is just a empty classroom it's the Teachers in it that you learn from NOT the corporation.
@MrApadirect. that's a sad statement. i guess since i'm older, that is not the case with me. that is the failure of our society to educate it's own citizens. this is the agenda of the super wealthy and corporations because they do not want the voters to know the truth about their own society and the true meaning of freedom.
@halfmonk Are you implying here that the 'super wealthy' can exert control over the educational system to further their own ends? How might these people 'capture' regulations pertaining to education? Say for example the government seeks to pass a rule that leads to the education of kids about sustainability and the harm that ensues from mining companies degrading the environment. How would the mining company intervene?
@Pigroota a mining company doesn't have to intervene directly. if you are unaware of republican defunding of the education system, i suggest you do some research. it started in california under reagan. it doesn't have to be viewed as a well organized conspiracy which is interfering directly in the curriculum. they simply stop the flow of funding to the education system especially for the poor, african americans, latinos and others.
Good point about the dangers of privatizing public services. I read a webpage of Dutch "libertarians" (free market extremists) who advocated to privatize police. People making profit from murders and rapes? Not trying to solve a case because the people don't have enough money? Rapists and murderers going unpunished because they can pay the police more than the victim? These people are just as insane as Muslim suicide bombers, let's hope to god they'll never get any influence on society!
What an idiot 1:00? they didn't just decide to privatize for no reason. The tragedy of the commons was causing a lot of problems at that time and privatization was the best solution. There are times for privatization and times for public goods.
I think in southern California, they have some private fire companies that will come and put out the fire....now that s. California has lots of brush fires.
the solution to the problem??? Is this guy joking? I can pay to pollute without consequence....who's cleaning it up and how??? THAT IS THE PROBLEM! NOT THE CONSEQUENCE FOR POLLUTING! THIS GUY AND HIS MINDSET ARE THE PROBLEM!! He and people like him are going to send all of us and our planet to an early grave...but he's so delusional just like all the rich assholes he doesn't doesn't realize his money won't save him!
THIS VIDEO IS KEY! If you comprehend this and research history via biblical prophesy and doctrine starting @ 2 bible books - Genesis and then Revelations you will be illuminated by GOD. You will understand why you struggle to survive and you will understand who YOUR REAL ENEMY IS!
So let me get this straight. What this documentary is saying is that the solution to psychopathic corporations is... Communism? (Are you kidding me?) All of a sudden they've decided not to bother distinguishing between Capitalism and Corporatism, then proceed to bring in these ridiculous Ivy League 'philosophers' to proclaim that socialism is the answer. If this is so then I'm disappointed as I've been impressed with this docu up until this point.
The cheap steel provided by state manufacturers has been shown to be of such low quality as to be worthless. This is not a partisan statement on my part, it is a fact proven by the Soviet Steel industry. Public firefighters are one thing, but a good that is to be sold on the market is another altogether.
We are born and raised with certain values wich we almost never question. Take for instance capitalism or the free marked, or even the monetary system. We think of this as bringers of fortune and happiness, and we can hardly imagine anything else working.
The natural conclusion from that would be that we would think the native americans, or other tribes all had miserable lives, they had nothing of what we define as essential for a good life.
@tristramshandy3 To study it is one thing, to experience it is another. When you figure out, what drives the influence beginning both, then you are not a fool yourself. No one is a fool, some are just more evil and educated than others. Education comes in levels fortunately... we're lucky to retain knowledge. point blank
Im from Norway, our queen(Sonja) once visisted a 3rd world country. She talked to a poor woman in a village, and the woman asked. How many children do you have? Our queen replied "two". The woman then replied "Then I'm much richer than you".
Wether you agree to that or not is not, it created a diffrent point of view. My thought was first that i disagreed, but that forced me to ask myself why, why do I disagree?
I think its important to stop and question your own foundation sometimes.
"Privateization" is a redistribution of wealth from THE PEOPLE to Corporations. It is also a round-about way for the government to accomplish deeds that it would never get away with under public scrutiny.
Plus, these corporations have been granted "Constitutional Protections" by the Supreme Court--so that they cannot be regulated or held accountable. To Stop this, we need a Constitutional Amendment to abolish "Corporate Personhood" and ban corporations from politics.
"the interests of that stream...are owned by some group interested in maintaining it..." really? the properties you own now aren't being "maintained" properly as it is! Oh gotta love ambiguity!
privatization is the answer to many of the problems? how about not polluting and being responsible for your actions is the answer to many of the problems.

it has been exploited by privatized interests more than anything, our excess is correlated to their depravity. Our disinterest, your mindset, is ironically the reason Africa is in the shape it is. Ever heard of blood diamonds, or perhaps you've heard of a little thing called slavery.
Africa had slavery long before America came along, it still has slavery today. They enslaved their own people, in fact they sold their own people to the white man, in fact, as a student of history, there were black slave owners in America in the South.
Africa has been destroyed by the lack of the people unable to own their own land. That's why the country is falling apart. That's why the South thrives more. Privatization saves lives, profit saves lives. The commons destroys innovation.
Exclusively black slavery was popularized no earlier than the colonial period, of which, Mr. History Student, you are no doubt aware. It was driven by the same economic force, namely profit motivation, that drives capitalism. Africans would have had no incentive to 'sell to the white man' if they weren't militarily controlled by European powers to begin with. The south has never recovered from the civil war economically, any google search will support the validity of these statements, idiot.
Profit saves lives?That is the best line I've ever heard! But I got news for ya... when you are on your death bed, or you have just been hit by a car, or you have just been robbed and stabbed profit will not save you...profits will not care how much you are suffering...they only care about increasing their margins.
Who do you think made that ambulance that's going to come and pick me up, a company seeking profit. Who do you think produced the oxygen mask they're going to put over my face, a company seeking profit. Who do you think made the syringes? Profit seeking companies. The pain meds? A biocompany did those.
The tubes they're going to stick into me? Private industry.
If I get into an accident. Profit won't give a damn about me. But the people who seek profit, will save me.
I'm pretty sure you need a hug. I would help you out because for some strange reason I don't like to see people suffer.This drive to help others is deeper and older than "profit"...
you misunderstand me greatly. When I say profit saves lives, that doesn't mean people don't care. That doesn't mean the EMT who holds my hand doesn't care, it doesn't mean the nurse who takes my temperature and ask how I'm feeling doesn't care. It means the instruments that let them do their job effectively, were created by a company, that wanted to make a profit. Thus, the profit motive saves my life.
@Writer01603 That's all well and good, but there must be criminal accountability (not merely fines) when criminal acts are perpetrated by these entities and their leadership.
Sounds like your condoning genocide of stupid people. Knuhben: Suicidal ideation is dangerous. And note the lack of refutation by original Writer### of my historical example and google supported common sense that blatantly made him look like an imbecile. I write this not that I think your smart enough to give me a real response, but because I find satisfaction knowing that others will laugh at you with me. It's just that this is no laughing matter. Your ignorance is bred by your environment.
wow. you sure like interpreting out of crap dont you oO
adressing/insulting some complete strangers on youtube because of their opinion (you dont like) is a laughing matter to me... so i guess were both happy :)
yes, i am for genocide of stupid people and im glad that my opinion has been confirmed once more.
Lack of people unable to own their own land? So they don't have enough people, who don't own land? Hmm, doesn't make any sense. And neither does the rest of your rant. Africa and most areas of South America are poor because they have been pillaged by Western and European corporations for all of their natural resources. Western corporations are good at bribing high up people to sell them the indigenous peoples land/resources for next to nothing. Read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"
When it was common land, millions starved. Have a man work land and he'll make enough for him to eat, give a man a farm and he'll make enough food to feed a town.
Are you serious? How is that efficient? At that rate, I'd try to put out fires myself. Or hell, start my own fire fighting business. What is your neighbor won't pay to put out their own home because it's not cost efficient? Does that mean your house burns down because there was an "externality"?
I know its crazy. They pretty much put a cost on anything they can, proper "taxman" by the beatles these days. I heard of a woman who saw her neighbours skip on fire so she rang the fire birgade and even tho it wasnt her skip, they charged her because she called them, dosent pay to be a good citizen
The last part in this clip is very interesting, the part on Cap and Trade. The fact that it is not some leftist liberal policy like some people assume it is, but a corporate sponsored one.
Please die so i can make money, the bailout of 2001 was the 9/11 attacks, boosted the econmy, in other words, death = money, so if your a broker your the grim reaper, you want people to die or you eventualy lose your job.
@smkymcnugget420 I actually think it could be a good idea if it was done properly. I don't want a fishing company to own the river by my house, but if a group wants to buy it in order to preserve and maintain the good health of it, why not? Better than just letting it go by itself. This way fishing companies CAN'T come in and start fishing, because it would be stealing someone else's property. Again, this would only work if it was put in place properly...which it never would be...sadly
@smkymcnugget420 Murder might be a tough word but your sentiments aren't hard to understand. This is an example of the private market's assault on the "commanding heights", the desire to reduce everhting to a commodity to be bought and sold. This path promises nothing but disasters to our planet and our future.
His final sentence made sense though. It's like the adopt a highway thing. In a simplistic sense it allows a private individual to ensure the stream, or the forest is protected. Further, it makes sure that no one can infringe on that protection.
"In a simplistic sense it allows a private individual to ensure the stream, or the forest is protected. Further, it makes sure that no one can infringe on that protection."
That sounds fine, but have you ever thought that not all of us will be able to afford rivers or hills or forests?Just imagine small groups of rich people buying up whatever environmentally unharmed piece of land there is left on this planet and the rest of us have to do with deforested, polluted and toxic wastelands...
@PraPHunk right..& only the richest & most powerful of us own land. & even if you think you "own" the little 1/4 acre plot your house is on your sorely mistaken. just look at ur deed ur listed as the tenant, ur only allowed by the government to take care of their land while they aren't using it. so we will probably go the way of the native americans: entire populations crammed into urban centers while the super rich own the undeveloped land & restict access in the name of preservation. no thanks
Are you talking about eminent domain? So the government pays you a substantial amount of money for your land. Ok...Actually in Baltimore, a lot of drug dealers got really rich and moved into the property game from that. They'd buy up pieces of wrecked property, and then the sell it to the government for 4-5 times as much, when the gov't needed it for public housing, or things like that. At worst they'd get 2x as much.
All this is complicated multi-level deception spanning many decades of modern US/World history. In the center you have greedy financial interests of US and international bankers.
Average people are simply paid slaves who, however, can not buy anything from iPod to house without credit or loan. Average people are lied to about everything all the time!
I dont know where you start fixing things. But I believe we are approaching some culminating point. Something big is coming.
The baby boomers have offspring who will pick up where they left off. Just because the baby boomers retire or die does not mean the corporations will shut their doors, in fact the very opposite. The baby boomers were raised with morals that they let slip to a certain limit, the new gangster rap generations don't care who they kill for power & money & may kill for pure pleasure
So the guy owning the air and the stream would want ownership to "protect" those resources?? How about they want to OWN them so he can EXPLOIT them for profit instead.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No body is owning the air and water and guess what? They are extremely polluted and causing illnesses every day. If someone were to own it, they would legally force other companies to stop polluting it. I don't know what else would happen though. What exploitation would occur.
Or, those companies would buy that air and then pollute the absolute shit out of it. Plus, since air moves around and is invisible, even if airspace was privately owned, polluted air would flow freely from the private airspace of the polluting industry into other people's airspace.
What do you mean no one owns the right to water? Water rights and rights to its usage are stipulated very often to private companies and or the state. Not to mention water rights are not stipulated as to the actual water itself, but the area within which the water flows. So those owners are not responsible for what occurs downstream.
Walker at the end is propoganda. Pollution tax as an answer to sustainablity ? Ya right. It will just be a cost of doing business, factored into its business model. Nothing will change. Its cheaper to pay a tax then die like most of these corps would if the country went sustainable (HEMP). Plus they want to create a derivatives pollution market to trade. Then Walker says ownership means interst in preserving the property. ? No not always, what if you want to sell what is on or underneath it.

So is the filmmaker trying to tell me that this last guy talking is insane? I find it a very reasonable argument. If I own this private section of land or stream or air, I'm gonna make sure nobody comes in and fucks it up, and if they do, I'm gonna hold them accountable.
What people have to keep in mind is that this ownership can take many forms: the government in essence owns public resources... And it is the government that protects these resources.
With more international resources we either need a global government, or organizations that 'own' protected resources.
Resource protection organizations should be run like co-ops, and owned by everyone on Earth.
We need organizations that hold people accountable... and ownership gives them the power to do this.

@pvisserandorra so as for privatization, with out that there can be no effective check against others in a free society. oh, as for your comment on corporations get far more help etc, in a corporatocracy that's exactly what will happen. and mind you, general motors didnt get bailed out, they didnt need it. all they needed to do was file bankruptcy, get rid of their unions and reorganize. No, GM got bailed out to bail out their union. But i agree with you insofar as companiess ought not get bail

@pvisserandorra in a true capitalism, there is a profit and LOSS mechanism. and it is the loss that forces the efficiency of a company or household. it is loss that forces a business to stop investing in something, it is loss that forces producers to stop producing what consumers do NOT want. But without loss one can continue doing the same stupid thing without end. whence why GM is still losing money despite their bail out. now if politicians can suffer loss like us then they'd stop da nonsens

Advice for Michael Walker from the Fraser Institute: There is a fundamental difference between 1) trade-able ownership of every cubic inch of every stream and 2) the ownership of the interests in those streams by a group of people who have an interest in maintaining them. The first is called commerce. The second is called SOVEREIGNTY. The second overrides the first! Only what is owned can be traded - the state should own what is COMMON to those from whose power it derives - not private citizens.

(part 2) If the interests in that piece of ocean were owned privately, maybe there would have been proper incentive to inspect BP's equipment and ensure that nothing like that would happen. Nobody wants their property to be destroyed like that. But when the government owns a piece of nature, they just lease it out to companies to have their way with it without much concern. The idea is, nobody takes care of someone else's property as well as they care for their own.

Well look at the freaking Gulf of Mexico. The government regulators of those commons failed terribly at preventing the oil spill. The regulators didn't own the property, so the incentives to maintain the property value just aren't there.

@stoltzmans Exactly. Chomsky acts like the loss comes out of some nebulous "public sector", but it's a real, tangible loss sustained by the taxpayers against their will. The fact that the company runs at a loss and can't stand on its own feet without government shows that it's a net loss of value for society. The theme I see when it comes to government subsidy is, "look at the wonderful benefits of the subsidy, but ignore the people we took it from and what they could have done with the money".

"Privateization" is a redistribution of wealth from THE PEOPLE to Corporations. It is also a round-about way for the government to accomplish deeds that it would never get away with under public scrutiny.
Plus, these corporations have been granted "Constitutional Protections" by the Supreme Court--so that they cannot be regulated or held accountable. To Stop this, we need a Constitutional Amendment to abolish "Corporate Personhood" and ban corporations from politics.

Africa had slavery long before America came along, it still has slavery today. They enslaved their own people, in fact they sold their own people to the white man, in fact, as a student of history, there were black slave owners in America in the South.
Africa has been destroyed by the lack of the people unable to own their own land. That's why the country is falling apart. That's why the South thrives more. Privatization saves lives, profit saves lives. The commons destroys innovation.
Writer01603 2 years ago
Exclusively black slavery was popularized no earlier than the colonial period, of which, Mr. History Student, you are no doubt aware. It was driven by the same economic force, namely profit motivation, that drives capitalism. Africans would have had no incentive to 'sell to the white man' if they weren't militarily controlled by European powers to begin with. The south has never recovered from the civil war economically, any google search will support the validity of these statements, idiot.

At worst they'd get 2x as much.
Again, what's the problem with making money?

All this is complicated multi-level deception spanning many decades of modern US/World history. In the center you have greedy financial interests of US and international bankers.
Average people are simply paid slaves who, however, can not buy anything from iPod to house without credit or loan. Average people are lied to about everything all the time!
I dont know where you start fixing things. But I believe we are approaching some culminating point. Something big is coming.

what a prick ! fortunatly this babyboom generation will soon be ripe for the nursing home.

The baby boomers have offspring who will pick up where they left off. Just because the baby boomers retire or die does not mean the corporations will shut their doors, in fact the very opposite. The baby boomers were raised with morals that they let slip to a certain limit, the new gangster rap generations don't care who they kill for power & money & may kill for pure pleasure

So the guy owning the air and the stream would want ownership to "protect" those resources?? How about they want to OWN them so he can EXPLOIT them for profit instead.
Too bad the interviewer didn't have a gun.

No body is owning the air and water and guess what? They are extremely polluted and causing illnesses every day. If someone were to own it, they would legally force other companies to stop polluting it. I don't know what else would happen though. What exploitation would occur.

Or, those companies would buy that air and then pollute the absolute shit out of it. Plus, since air moves around and is invisible, even if airspace was privately owned, polluted air would flow freely from the private airspace of the polluting industry into other people's airspace.

What do you mean no one owns the right to water? Water rights and rights to its usage are stipulated very often to private companies and or the state. Not to mention water rights are not stipulated as to the actual water itself, but the area within which the water flows. So those owners are not responsible for what occurs downstream.

Walker at the end is propoganda. Pollution tax as an answer to sustainablity ? Ya right. It will just be a cost of doing business, factored into its business model. Nothing will change. Its cheaper to pay a tax then die like most of these corps would if the country went sustainable (HEMP). Plus they want to create a derivatives pollution market to trade. Then Walker says ownership means interst in preserving the property. ? No not always, what if you want to sell what is on or underneath it.

So is the filmmaker trying to tell me that this last guy talking is insane? I find it a very reasonable argument. If I own this private section of land or stream or air, I'm gonna make sure nobody comes in and fucks it up, and if they do, I'm gonna hold them accountable.

What people have to keep in mind is that this ownership can take many forms: the government in essence owns public resources... And it is the government that protects these resources.
With more international resources we either need a global government, or organizations that 'own' protected resources.
Resource protection organizations should be run like co-ops, and owned by everyone on Earth.
We need organizations that hold people accountable... and ownership gives them the power to do this.
