Lines: 47 Official First Line of the Olympics Below are some laws, rules, and regulations that I would be interested in having the Libertarians on the net comment on and how they feel about such laws, rules, etc.. Any one can reply, but I am particularly interested in how a dyed in the wool Libertarian would feel about them. 1. A regulation which prohibits the use of an unvented kerosene stove in an apartment or house. 2. A law which requires a home swimming pool to have a locked fence around it. 3. A law which prohibits you from building and operating a business in a residentially zoned neighborhood. 4. A regulation which prohibits you from taking clams from designated waters. 5. A rule which prohibts you from using your front or back yard to store junk automobiles. 6. A regulation which says you must apply for a buiding permit in order to make structural changes to your house. 7. A law which prohibits door-to-door salesmen unless they have a license from the town. 8. A rule that only allows you to fish from one designated side of a bridge only. 9. A law that prohibits the use of fireworks. What I would like to see is how a Libertarian feels about these nine laws, rules, and regulations. Each one seems to only affect the individual, but does it? Each one has further implications in its application. I am not trying to sharpshoot. I want to know how a Libertarian would approach each of these laws, rules, and regulations. How does it affect the individual, the neighborhood, and the community? What would be the consequences of scraping all of them and letting the individual choose their own course of action in each case? T. C. Wheeler
