    Default Should nature have legal rights?

    While granting legal rights to nature may strike some as a hippie-dippy sentiment, advocates say it’s actually a matter of good sense

    Just because others such as Bolivia are looking into it, doesn't make it utterly ridiculous Cass (Sunstein?) It's just another mechanism to regulate certain industries out of existence. Move to Bolivia.

    Upon deep thought, I must agree with 2ndAmdmt. Law is well known as a mix of political pursuasion and legal precedence. Think about the equity courts we law graduates studied. Think about the "RAP" (rule against perpetuities). Think about the "rule" of Promissory Estoppel. Absolutely NO LOGIC but a rule we must follow.

    If a contract is formed by an Offer, Acceptance & Consideration and Acceptance is by precedence or statute legal by banging one's head on the wall 4 times, then there is a contract. The banging is a legally operative action.

    Soooo, I must suspect that by legal dictum, nature could be made to have rights on par with humans.
