By the logic I'm reading here, if I put a new fountain in my front yard, and someone steals it, it was their right, because when you start putting fountains in places without locking them down, it becomes other people's right to steal them if they can.  And that if someone steals my fountain, title to the fountain transfers rightfully to the thief because the nature of fountains is that possession is nine tenths of the law and that transferring fountains (just like cash) is irreversible.


As much as I'm willing to disagree with many laws, they do form the foundation of a civil and prosperous society.  You know, in a blighted neighborhood, they hate all laws, and any codes of ethics people actually follow are mainly pacts of silence.  And the people who live there wonder why opportunity is so scarce.
