Property rights mean you are not dealing with "the commons".
That is where I disagree. I'm a firm believer in property rights but there are limitations and that is where the "commons" comes in. There are obvious common items such as the air that blows across the property, and obvious common intangibles, like enforcement of the property rights. There are also commons which are less obvious, such as the common future that we share. These commons resources are all in danger naturally. It's the ordinary and expected condition for these to be threatened and it requires a common caretaker.

If the government controls it then its similar to the commons except to take it you have to lobby the government first.
I don't advocate government ownership as an alternative, I advocate that the government be the arbitrature of those things which are inherently common to the American people anyway.
