Quote of the Day

Endangered Species for Sale? by David Zetland, posting at Aguanomics

The difference between abundant chickens and endangered tigers is property rights. Chickens are owned by individuals who protect them from others; tigers are owned by "us" and protected by nobody. If you want to save the tigers, sell them.
