Private Property
* Re “Interior Needs a Free Market Approach,” Commentary, Jan. 23: Trying to justify the nomination of anti-environmentalist Gale Norton for secretary of the Interior, James Huffman claims her opponents would be “hard pressed to explain why those nations with the worst environmental records are consistently those with little or no respect for private property.”
I think Huffman would be even more hard pressed to explain why those with the greatest environmental records, our Native American Indians, had practically no concept of “private property.”
