Property Rights

Here in the Adirondacks and elsewhere, you will often hear people complaining about how their property rights are being violated.
While I endorse property rights, I often wonder how many people care to realize how human rights are the foundation of property rights and how all rights must be tempered with responsibility.
If responsibility were taken into the equation, there might be fewer confrontations between environmentalists and property owners, including businesses. Too often, when one starts talking about their rights, they are doing so in the vacuum of their own selfishness. Not always, but often.
