Respond to this theoretical situation: There is a community of 10,000 people and an outside corporation comes into that community and decides to make a 15,000 head hog farm in the middle of the community, right next to the river that also supplies water for the community. Under current laws, who has more rights, the community of 10,000 people, or the corporation with a lot of hogs run by three well connected people?
