I would exhume Ronald Regan, clone him 10,000 times and vote him into every single elected office in government before I would ever cast a vote for a Libertarian candidate for any post -- including dog catcher.

I would certainly hope if you ever have a chance to buy a home in your life, you inspect it well or pay someone to do that job.

Would you move in next door and down wind to a pig farm? I guess you don't have a choice.
I lived in the California San Joaquin Valley, and they have some very large dairy farms there. This housing developer bought up some land that bordered a dairy farm, and built low cost homes all along the property line. There were literally rows of homes which were right up against the barbwire fences. The home owners had cows looking over the fences into their backyards!!! Kids on swing sets with cows twenty feet away. The stench from cow manure was sooooo bad, even before the homes went up, that I would hold my breath during that five mile stretch of dairy farm. Un-freaking believable.

I would not doubt that sooner then later, the cries for unsanitary conditions from the stench, flies, and dust kicked up from dried animal feces, would go out, and the home owners would get the county or state government to kick out the dairy farmer.

They had a choice to buy there did they not?? They knew of this farm there did they not?? Did anyone force them to buy there?? That is their own ignorence.
Just because a delveloper bought the land and built there doesn't mean people have to buy it....

Agreed. Why do people forget that you don't need govt to control everything. The world was here before govts and will be long after.

If someone damages you have them pay. No need for all this govt overhead. Just common sense and personal responsibility.

Well, I can understand people having a problem with dairy farms, but you make it sound like it is some toxic plant for soilent green. I grew up in a farming town, it isn't terrible as you say, well... maybe for people who have never been around it, but the point is that people who have issues with country living need to stay out of the country, or... at least be very selective in their properties.

Now I can understand if someone builds their home somewhere and then a company comes in and builds some type of plant right next to them. I am not saying they are justified in stopping them, but their complaint is understandable. Those who move into a place where such is already there and then complain about it? Well... that has a certain type of stupid written all over it.

They may go about it in completely different ways, but communism and libertarianism both end up with the same result. The average person's life would be controlled by the government or the oligarchs, but it would be under complete control either way.

Maybe you should do your homework or talk to a variety of Libertarians more (those who don't cow-tow with their ideologues like the so-called left wing liberals & right wing conservatives). Besides, Bloomberg is nothing more than an elitist control freak.

This thread has reinforced the belief I have held for sometime that we are rapidly becoming a country of simpletons and idiots.
