I think the problem they run in to is that absolute property rights inevitably collide eventually. My activities on my land impact the value of your land. The river on my land is also the river on your land, etc.
No, the credit bureaus should be held to the fire and nailed for a few million counts of libel. Spreading harmful information with wanton disregard for the truth is sufficient for libel. For example, claiming that you did something to become less than credit worthy without solid proof it was actually you when they know damned well fraud is rampant.
A small garden is OK, but if I plowed enough to feed a family, I would certainly hear from county code enforcement. And I certainly wouldn't be allowed to keep chickens or a cow.
Actually, I hoped my comment about prosecuting reality would have called it out as humor.
However, you may have to accept that inalienable rights can get pretty complicated. For example, if life is an inalienable right, then food and water must be (else, no life). If not then nothing else is since we can just kill anyone who inconveniently exercises any other right they might have (or cut off their food and water until they shut up or die of thirst).
I am forbidden to grow crops on my own land here in suburbia. The only source of food is the store, which demands money (there used to be berries growing wild, but they were cut down to cram a few more houses in). So I am now obliged to work for others (either as an employee, a contractor, or a proprietor) in order to have food necessary to my having life.
In that case, reality itself is violating your right. Unfortunately, we haven't a clue how to prosecute reality:-)
More properly, suffice to say that the subject of water rights is far far more complex than my property, my water. It is a subject that has occasionally lead to blood shed as well as keeping the courts busy.
But a general principle in all of that is that if there is drinkable water where you are, others do not have a right to make it go away or remove your existing access to it.
So I see some drinkable water but you demand I not drink it because you have a piece of paper that claims it is 'your' water even though you didn't make it. Who is making a demand upon another there? You are.
Actually, it's polypropylene glycol. It's also used in fog machines and sometimes atomized to help control germs. They're looking in to using it in hospitals in the U.K. so I would imagine it's pretty harmless. It's also a carrier in some inhalers.
You should read better articles. For example, you seem to be imagining some "industry" made up of humongous multi-nationals. In fact, until rj reynolds jumped in the game years late most e-cigs were made and sold by small to medium sized businesses (and very early in the game, in people's living rooms one at a time). They did so primarily on the not at all unlikely assumption that not inhaling particulates, carbon monoxide, and tar was probably better.
Most of the youth are using non-nicotine liquids. Probably mostly to look cool. You look just as cool with 0 nic juices. Would you prefer they choose cigarettes?
As for the study, it's conclusions are about as scientific as the witch trial in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". It's along the lines of kids who jump rope occasionally skin their knees, not unlike people who crash their motorcycles, therefor skipping rope is fully as dangerous as crashing a motorcycle. AND WE LET KIDS DO IT!
The knee scabs are a "marker" but their significance has yet to be determined, so it's useless to talk about risk based on their presence.
What is your justification for prescription only? Nicotine has been used over the counter for centuries with few if any acute deaths or injuries. e-cigs are showing that same pattern. Prescription only is supposed to be for things that cannot be used safely without a doctor's supervision.
It has been hyped as being as benign as coffee.
Some people advocate drinking your own urine too, what's your point? Urine as a controlled substance?
One of the markers was increased adrenaline. As in the stuff that helps athletes perform their best. So no ecigs, no exercise, got it.
But as for the rest, some people who would otherwise keep smoking will use ecigs instead. Some who would start smoking will use ecigs instead. That's bad how?
As for helping you quit, ecigs helped me quit. After a number of years vaping, I found that I just wasn't interested in the nicotine anymore. No drama, no nail biting, no eating the entire refrigerator, nothing. Just no more interest in nicotine.
That's the part that really hacks them off, I sinned by smoking and they want to see some serious suffering as penance.
Frank Herbert had an interesting take on that in Dune. You might have human form, but unless and until you can control the lizard brain, you're just an advanced animal. To be human requires more.
It seems a shame that so many have had this birthright stolen from them for...well...ugly looking street lights. Which don't even actually reduce crime (there is even evidence that they increase crime). It would be nice if once in a while, we could pick a night and turn the lights off so people can actually see the sky, and perhaps discover that the night isn't really all that scary.
That's a bit silly. Naturally, he can't boss the laws of physics around, but he can certainly fire people at the FTC if they ignore his order and approve this deal.
Engineering tells us there exists a design or manufacturing defect that exists from day one of the product's existence. The law tells us that manufacturers can be held responsible for those. The rest is just so much bloviation.
So again, it comes down to the ability of Apple's lawyers to snow job the courts.
Your choice of the word "withstand" suggests a substantial burden to be certain. For example, if I described "withstanding" the impact of a stream of water, you would be picturing a firehose rather than a squirt gun. Then you go on to explain how inexpensive AppleCare is and talk about it covering customer damage as well. The latter, unlike design and manufacturing defects is out of Apple's control, so surely accounts for most of the cost of AppleCare so long as the devices aren't total junk. More squirt gun than fire hose.
In formal debate, yes, informal web discussion, not really. Nevertheless, Open up the hanger, HERE COMES THE PLANE!! VRRRRRRRRRoooooommmm......Omm nonn nomm.
If it's all that important, you should probably be sure to keep your credentials safe. If you're in a coma, the odds are you won't be making any decisions about your data for a while. Of course if we're going to play what if, what if you wake from the coma with amnesia and the only hints about who you are or who should be contacted evaporated a month before?
If you REALLY need a deadman switch, I suppose one might optionally be provided, but perhaps you should entrust someone with a password so they can burn your data if necessary.

And, agreed about property tax.
Probably because living naked in a cave to dodge arbitration clauses is impractical and likely illegal.
It's not hard to imagine that unilaterally depriving someone of their right bring the matter to court should be illegal, is it?

and then deliver the parts in a box to Apple, demanding a repair. On warranty.
And Apple will just laugh, because no warranty is expected to cover such a thing.
PCs had a socket for an 8087 (math co-processor) and the CPU was socketed as well. The NEC V-20 was pin compatible with the 8088.

I'm suggesting that a system where nobody ever makes demands upon another doesn't actually exist, including in TMY's visions.
Water is just an example.

Sure. It's a shame so many never bother to develop the ability. It's as if we suddenly decided not to teach babies to talk.

So how much standing in line do you suppose you'll have to do to get decent service out of Verizon?
In other words, there will be no such negotiation and there's not enough competition to make such a thing happen within their lifetimes.
Read again. I said one of those lawsuits was canadian from the beginning (that's kinda what "in Canada" means).
Go away, you're just being argumentative for the sake of it.
