Sam Harris is no libertarian -- quite the opposite. His prescriptions for almost everything come down to laws and regulations, developed and enforced by an educated, knows-better-than-you elite.
He should work for Michael Bloomberg. CNO: Chief Nanny Officer?
Sometimes regulations are simply the right answer.
The tragedy of the commons is a thing & communal regulation is the response that works. I can't think of anything that fits the definition of 'a commons' better than the air that you and I breathe.
Right, I wasn't saying that he is doing a bad job of representing the libertarian position. I was just saying that he does a bad job of arguing against it (and in general does a bad job of presenting this entire idea). If that's not what you meant then my apologies for misunderstanding your comment.
