How do you expect such party to work? Environmental protection requires sizable government and heavy regulation.


Actually you can make plenty of things illegal, and enforce those laws/regulations without utilizing the concept of prior restraint. People get so caught up in the fact that the libertarian *way* of doing things is different, that they mistakenly think that there is *no* libertarian way to do something like protect the environment.

What really confuses me sometimes, is that people think that a political philosophy that treasures private property rights is somehow conducive to letting other people dump trash in various forms on other peoples' property.

Plus, only the purest strains of ultra libertarianism call for total elimination of all forms of govt prior restraint. Though a more libertarian style would certainly be to police and investigate cases of infractions, combined with stiffer penalties and better legal recourse for the afflicted.
