You were thinking of throwing poison into your neighbors pots because your assumed they could be breeding mosquitoes?

Good thing he didn’t do it and it was only a thoughtcrime

Every year when they detect west nile in my neighborhood, they start driving trucks around once a week spraying concentrated poison directly into the air. They don't even put up signs to tell us what day to close our windows, or that they are doing it at all.

  ... and that is bad. Not a status quo we should all settle for.

Your being downvoted, but i agree. Chemically treating someone's plants without telling them is not ok. Doubly so if they are intending to use it for food purposes.

Well, yeah, it was more of those “why I ought to…” thoughts when I was frustrated by the mosquitos. I would have asked my neighbors if it got bad enough that I really wanted to go through with it, because that’s just basic courtesy. But also if we’re really going to put up our “property rights” battle lines, I kinda think the tiny insects routinely bringing strangers’ blood into my home from my neighbor’s property and attempting to stick their used needles into my skin would justify a judicious response.

  But you don't have much evidence that the pots are the problem, your idea to poison their plants is a far more egregious property crime, and there are so many ideas that you could do first. I get that you're saying you wouldn't actually do it but christ that's such an extreme desire to casually float. > I kinda think the tiny insects routinely bringing strangers’ blood into my home from my neighbor’s property and attempting to stick their used needles into my skin Mosquitoes don't inject other people's blood into you and the used needle analogy is not apt at all.
