that article is idiotic, ace.
it's a second-rate rehash of the second-rate political fiction that is john locke's second treatise on government.

but despite, well, everything i kinda enjoy watching conservative reject element after element of the capitalist mode of production in the name of the capitalist mode of production process through second-rate "thinkers" like ayn rand....it's fascinating in the same way as is watching a car crash into a wall. and it'd be funny---you know, laugh out loud funny---were this kind of ultra-right lunacy not something that some (maybe) otherwise sensible people find compelling.

so if you don't think that access to safe potable water is something on the order of a basic citizenship right, why don't you stop drinking it or bathing in it or using your sewer system or flood control system until some more non-equitable rights-free form of conservative libertarian barbarism gets instituted?

once right libertarian barbarism gets into power, though, you won't have anything to say.
because you'll have no rights.
because you will have given them away.

but you can worry about that once you figure out how to survive till that glorious day without legitimating "statism" by using the water it provides.

good luck with that. keep me posted.
