One in 10,000

"The first such condition would be a monopoly on the legitimate use of force."

So many people so rarely get the big stuff right, it's jarring to see it stated outright.

Continuing the celebration of State The Obvious Day, here's one of your buddies at the NYTimes:

"From colonial times, all trees in Niger had been regarded as the property of the state, which gave farmers little incentive to protect them. . . . But over time, farmers began to regard the trees in their fields as their property, and in recent years the government has recognized the benefits of that outlook by allowing individuals to own trees. Farmers make money from the trees by selling branches, pods, fruit and bark. Because those sales are more lucrative over time than simply chopping down the tree for firewood, the farmers preserve them."
