No need for the government to do any of this for me (especially by telling me what I can't put into my own body).

Of course, everyone might just sue everyone else until the whole world just stopped. That or people would actually learn to tread carefully, just from fear of being sued. Probably the former.

my neighbor burns coal in winter, which stinks, and annoys me. should i prevent him from doing that? what about SUVs? they are taking up my air. and power plants? they soil the air to feed your televisions.

you can't control your "property" that way, as an individual. the world is not made of finite objects. it's all a big fucking goo. the earth is your body (corny but true). you need some kind of "community standards" because no individual "owns" the air.
