Why is that a problem? Why bother? It's obvious what makes private property superior. Compare a privately-owned apartment complex to a public-housing project. Compare the AAA to the DMV. Compare private schools to public schools. Compare FedEx and UPS to the Post Office. Where do you get better service?

Private owners have a vested financial interest in the future value of their property. This is why privately-owned homes tend to be well maintained while public-housing and subsidized and rent-controlled ghettos tend to be filthy, dilapidated, and covered in graffiti. Public lands tend to be strip-mined, clear-cut, and polluted. When a resource is owned in common, it removes the incentive to defer consumption and preserve because nobody as a vested financial interest in doing so.

YT removed the video. That was horrific, and the look of terror on the child's face when his dad was strangling him was quite unsettling. That man deserves to have his ass beat. Thank goodness that electronics are becoming more prolific so that these types of incidents can be exposed.

There are telltale signs which could suggest a potential problem even without a scan (eg. certain patterns of behavior such as compulsive lying). Firms might want to scan their employees as a condition of employment, in much the same way that they might screen for drug use or past criminal records.

Venezuelan farmers ordered to hand over produce to state

I occasionally feel a swell of emotion when I hear about somebody's death who had provided me with joy when I was growing up. I remember feeling emotional when Gary Gygax died. He created Dungeons and Dragons. I also felt like I had been kicked in the stomach when Leonard Nimoy died. Although everyone knew him as Spock, I also remembered him as the host of In Search Of which was one of my favorite shows as a kid. There are probably more, but only those come to mind (especially with LN's being so recent).

Washington and Texas have no state income tax. Some people in Washington drive into Oregon to go shopping because there is no sales tax.

Some areas are very humid. New Hampshire has very cold winters if you can tolerate it.
