10. We used to regard many areas as too essential to the public good to be commercialized; they were protected by tradition and regulation. Now, everything is becoming fair game in the private taking of the commons -- land, oceans, air, water, education, health, energy and social assistance. Where do we draw the line?

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.
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.
