The reason it is imperative to keep the discussion framed in the plural "we" instead of individuals is because then the discussion becomes much more complicated than many would prefer. <br /><br />Concerning the Syrian crisis specifically, it would require them to confront the detrimental impact such policies will have on the property rights of individuals already residing in the country who are not only taxed to pay for these foreign interventions but then are forced to pay for state welfare that will go to care for the victims of that meddling who come to their countries seeking refuge, as we're witnessing right now. It's even worse for countries that had nothing to do with causing the upheaval in the first place but are left with dealing with the consequences. <br /><br />I can appreciate the viewpoint expressed in articles like Chapman's, but what bewilders is how they write as if there is absolutely no legitimate reason anyone can be opposed to hundreds of thousands of people suddenly entering their country all at once and that this will involve no violation of of their private property rights in any way whatsoever. <br /><br />If there is such an opinion expressed out there, I would be interested in reading how such concerns are addressed. Like you said, it would be nice, but I don’t expect this.The Questionhttp://anarchistnotebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-54559528449827190072015-09-15T11:32:46.278-07:002015-09-15T11:32:46.278-07:00Ed, one thing I can always count on with you - con...Ed, one thing I can always count on with you - context eludes you.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-30153309944772415912015-09-15T10:58:25.324-07:002015-09-15T10:58:25.324-07:00Come one, bionic.

Until someone says that, you have no private property complaint. Similarly, if I should decide to house a refugee, you would have no legitimate complaint.Ed Ucationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375062362847706272noreply@blogger.com
