Free enterprise

Impman said:

You should not have parked on private lot without permission. Free enterprise cannot be without positive and negative rights. In order for you to own a business, other people must respect that right. i.e. respect property lines. To own a home, others must stay out of your home. Libertarians fail to realize this. It goes over their heads....too much tea.. and not the good kind either.

As for the towing fee...well that is a necessity in order for businesses to conduct business. They need tow trucks to come and move cars out quickly (for a number of reasons). If it was on a empty Saturday, you never know what that property owner had planned for the day... maybe a bunch of family was suppose to come... who knows...its not your property.

Let us do this again.


The parking lot was marked very specificly as to who could and could not park there. It made no reference to day of the week. Permission is presumed by virtue of the fact that it was a . . . parking lot situated next to other .... parking lots, many of which had cars in them, including the one where I parked. If I had parked over night, there would be no problem. If I had put a for sale sign on my vehicle, no problem.

There was nothing inherently "private" about this lot. It would be much like your parking on the outskirts of a Wallmart parking lot and having your car towed because you didn't spend all of your time in the Wallmart but went to the Frozen Yogurt place next to it as well.

A "bunch" of family? in a parking lot? I hardly think so. The fee? how would that prompt the towing company to act more quickly, especially on a day where neither they nor the businesses they were hired to protect were open at all?
