If you want to use violence to force someone to perform a job, this is technically exactly what slavery is. It's not "disingenuous" of me just because you don't like it. I didn't claim there's any similarity to the mental state of an African-American slave. (This is an anology you're trying to make; you're being disingeuous.)

Ya, obviously it was industrial growth that caused the pollution. It was industrial growth within a statist system. It went horribly. And it still goes horribly today (this is why people wear those smog masks in many cities, and why climate change is a hot topic). You're not making any kind of argument for why government regulation works better than voluntary licensing would work. You're just being the typical statist who thinks that because we don't want to use violence that we don't want any mechanism to regulate and license.

Law and order can happen without violence. (In fact, it can only happen without violence.) I feel sorry for you if you think we need violence to achieve our potential.
