Not in the Bill of Rights.

I'm not complaining about anything because I do what I want anyway.
I'm just telling it like it is. Did you buy the rights to your username btw?

You were complaining you couldn't use property rights you didn't buy/own.

No. But it's not property. What's your point?

My point is you are also expressing yourself with someone else's concept, while in a different form it's still a concept that did not belong to you.

Do you have a right to dispose of (give or sell to others) what you own in the way you wish?

You can't sell your body to be used by others. By your own narrow definition, then we have no right to our bodies.

If you own it then you should be able to, yes. As long as the person receiving your property agrees to take it...so if both parties agree to a transaction then nobody else has the right to step in and say "I'm not allowing this." That's a true free market, right?

You should be able to. I don't recommend or support that, but it's your body and nobody has the right to tell you what you can or can't do with it (as long as you aren't violating the rights of others, obviously).

Lets say I have two pieces of property - some beautiful land here in urban Denver, and 500 tons of diisopropylmethyl-phosphonate.

Is it your belief that nobody (and by nobody, I mean the government) should have the ability to step in and say I can't dump my 500 tons of diisopropylmethyl-phosphonate onto the land, or that I can't operate a pig farm on the land?
