>Water should be free

And water is free, like I said, you can go bottle your own water from rivers or rain drops, you don't have to pay anyone a dime.

But if you want purified water from a water reservoir that's supplied through a series of tubes directly to your house, your tab water, then that's going to cost you.

Your old posts seem to suggest that tab water should be free. And I'm telling you why it isn't. If you agree with this then there is no argument.

As for pollution water or air, you tell me exactly how does the free-market cause those things huh? I already stated a few post back that it's a crime to pollute other people's property in a free-market.

As for the pollution happening NOW in certain places of the world, it's precisely caused by a LACK of property right. Since most governments are socialistic to various degrees, the rivers and air are public property that is owned by the government, not individuals, what this becomes is as long as someone has a strong enough special-interest influence in the government, they can lobby legislators to pass laws that allow them to shit in those rivers or airspace as they wish.

As for rights, you are still mistaken. No matter how kneejerking it is there is no such thing as a positive right. The right to live in an none toxic environment, assume a person's house suddenly becomes toxic because of a natural disaster, does that mean he has a right to make professionals to clean his house or others to pay the fee with or without their consent?

The only right a person have in regard to this is property right, that is if he own a property, then no one else has the right to pollute it.
