Where there is no rule of ethic for decent treatment to be afforded special interest groups

As I said before, the authority of the state should be used mostly to regulate the commons and not to provide benefits to particular groups. Things are never truly simple, but the type of regulation required from a central caretaker is exactly that which prevents one group from tyrannizing another.

An example that I am familiar with involves a feedlot. The feedlot is on private property, but water runs through the waste into common streams and rivers. The feedlot has to compost and solidify the waste to effectively remove it, but the process creates a strong odor in the common air. The private owners reap the financial benefit from the feedlot, but the common shoppers want the product. These issues are best regulated by a disinterested third party.
