"+djancak 'Do I have a RIGHT to pollute if nobody's complaining about it?' You don't have a right to pollute someone else's property without their permission. If they don't complain, that's fine, but they could turn around and complain tomorrow and you'd have no defense."--Shanedk in the comments this video:

Reminds me of the "mushroom farm" discussion way back on the JREF forum (starts about halfway down the page): http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=10843&page=3

(Warning: you'll have to slough through the "property rights means I get to kill and eat you" arguments.)

"It fascinates me to watch people who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about do anything possible to avoid even an infinitesimal amount of examination that could breach their fantasy...This is not some subset of fanatics on Facebook—this has become The American Way. The gleeful disdain for consideration and correction. The abominable manners. The utter disregard for intellectual exchange. The absence of effort outside of anything beyond the issuing of lickety-split ridicule. The unrelenting refusal to learn. And tomorrow will bring a brand new day of more of the same." —Richard W. Memmer
