So you believe that corporations would no longer pollute the river they own? If you do, I have a bridge over a polluted river I would like to sell you.

Lots of things are bought out of desperation.

You live in Ohio, have you ever been in the southeast? Good Lord, lots of rusted pickup trucks and trash all over their front lawns in the rural areas. BS that the average person takes care of their property better. Is that why there's plenty of trash to pick up on roadsides, the beaches, and public parks? The point of public land is so everyone can enjoy nature together, not the sole landowner and his friends

Try again please.
Perhaps you would consider reading beyond the first sentence.

Right now they are polluting public rivers.

If you own part of the river are you going to pollute it? Are you going to let someone else pollute it?

And who says only corporations would own the rivers anyway?

Supply and demand would drive the price of scarce organs, such as lungs, through the roof! How much could you pay for a set of lungs or heart if you needed one to live? Should there be a live auction for organs?

Kidney trade in Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So what IMO Iran is doing one thing right and letting people sell organs and it is regulated by the gvt. You still did not answer it is my body my choice is ok for abortion but not ok to sell a organ. Why not?

I lived in the southeast for several years.

I found it to be less trashy than Pennsylvania.

By the way people litter and pollute public property all the time.

The federal government is the largest polluter on earth and they don't even make anything. Why would anyone trust the largest polluter to keep things clean?

And why would someone buy a national park and not let the general public in? How exactly are they gonna make money to maintain it?
