Not if you own the land. There is a good reason why people don't dump their trash in their back yard.
You just reasoned Superfund sites out of existence. Yet, there they are. People buy a chunk off land in the armpit of the city, pollute the f. .ck out of the soil and, damn, have to close the doors. Leaving a lovely little present for posterity. Happened all the time.
Externalities, it's got nothing to do with Sartre.
Coming from the party that want to regulate the rights of women and gay people that's frigging rich .
What's rich is calling abortion a "right" when the question has always been whether it's murder. And we don't "regulate" that, do we?
And "regulating" gays? Huh? Conservatives and libertarians don't give a rat's fanny what people are doing in their bedrooms. What we've all seen, though, is that it was never about letting people "love who they want to love"--it was all about controlling others and forcing them to actively support a particular lifestyle. Liberals are, indeed, the control freaks.
I was just about to ask if there's any liberty conservatives don't want to block. Seems the only people they think deserve rights are corporations.
Some conservatives want to deny gay marriage. Some conservatives want to keep marijuana illegal. Most conservatives want abortion illegal. What other liberties are there that conservatives want to block?
This would be compared to liberals who want to regulate guns, health insurance, education, cars, offensive speech, junk food, union membership, wages, tobacco, domestic energy production, religious expression, etc.
The list of things that liberals want to regulate absolutely dwarfs the list of things that conservatives want to regulate.

Give me a very large break.
LOL at this conspiracy.
It must be hard for heterosexual white males being the most persecuted minority in the world.
So... should we expect the left to kill the free speech? Good to know.

1) How does support Christianity, a self descried religion of peace, match up with the protection of gun rights and the right to openly carry whatever you please? Political views don't have to have direct connections.
2) Political separation. You shouldn't have to ask that. Most people will vote for their party without needing to know anything about them. All they know is they don't ant the other guy.
The two things I listed are from very active threads on this forum where liberals ridicule everyone who dares to think that Americans are capable of making the right choices without (federal!) government's intervention.
My question from the original post is still unanswered, "which is... telling" indeed! So I'll ask it again:
Is there any human activity that liberals don't want to regulate?
They do not want to regulate killing babies
