Liberty comes in 2 parts, rights and RESPONSIBLITIES. Everybody loves the rights, few seem to take on the responsibilities part any more. I have a responsibility to maintain the rights of my neighbor as well as myself. While I have a right to have a junk yard I do not have the right to pollute his land and water with my junk yard. As long as my junk stays confined within my property I am maintaining my neighbor’s rights. My neighbor may not like my junk yard but until it harms him he has no right to tell me what to do with it.
