I guess there is a fundamental difference in how we see the commons. I take the view that it is not simply “there” as a first come first serve basis, but rather something we have an equal right to, the basis from which private property must be derived. Locke started here. But I think the breathing thing is actually a good retort. Where do the principles meet... I guess in the case the differenence is between drinking from the well and pissing in it. It might very well be safe, but certainly not nice

Locke started here. I think I'm with you there. I don't have a problem paying property tax because as a person born on this earth, you're also entitled to my land. I'm paying a tax for the privilege of it being mine.
