In all that I’ve heard about the animal confinement issue, I find that people on both sides can’t see the forest for the trees…In promoting regulation of the livestock business the anti-corporate people have transferred the responsibility of people to government. This fact has, in every case,worked against the anti-corporate cause. They shoot themselves in the foot and go on like mind-numbed robots demanding more government intervention in our lives. The corporates smile all the way to the lagoon as they see the rights of the people handed to government and independent farmers quit. Their buildings keep going up and there’s nothing we can do, because property rights have become a forgotten concept. If their stench pollutes our picnic we can’t complain, because they’ve complied with the regulations we begged for, and the legislature passed to buy votes. In a world without all these regulations, the stench would be called an infringement on property rights, the building wouldn’t have been built, and the picnic wouldn’t stink.
