Thank you for the 19th century view on society and the environment. We live in the 21st century now, and we have a good understanding of the dynamics and interplay between our actions and the reactions of the environment. As I've told you many many times, your views demonstrate your ignorance of a lot of things, and that renders you unqualified to speculate like you do in your own vacuum of knowledge.

Have fun throwing out your little ideas. But they're kind of worthless absent any further knowledge. Must I point you once again to this long post I made a long time ago? It seems I need to.

To come in again: I respect your expertise in environmental issues, but it simply does not follow that a system based on private property rights in place of government regulations and coercions would result in ecosystem destruction. Loggers and poachers are not the only actors in the system - conservationists would be free to 'homestead' the forests and take ownership of protected zones. With people such as yourself making decisions in the private courts, those rights would be respected and protected.

In the system we have now, governments make regulations in the name of environmental protection, while giving exceptions to certain well connected parties.
