huh? I was just struck by how similar your statements about the impact of bedroom activities on others were to TP's broad sense of the commons. I suppose mercury released into streams from mining operations is not unlike the spreading of STDs. There are those who think that society/government should not constrain the former on the basis of private property and those who think that society/government shouldn't constrain the later on the basis of privacy and personal freedom. The juxtaposition of those two notions from the two different discussions suddenly struck me and I commented on it.
