If the waste is makin' me and mine sick, or damagin' my property, well that's a horse of another color.

You could have gotten sick for any number of reasons. He's just minding his own business, dumping on his own property.

Yep, just like you wanna find flaws in my notions so you can dismiss 'em.

If your notions rely on everyone agreeing on what "their own business" is, I've found the flaw already.

That's what the court is for: to arbitrate between the irreconcilable and to determine guilt and compensation.

Are you stupid?

I used to not think so.

If I was suggestin' a 'happy time utopia' why would i say there'd be courts, cops, and soldiers? Hell, the very first example I gave was 'robbery' (clearly Stan had a different view of what was his to mind than Joe who takes him to task for it).

You're just tired and not tryin', or you're stupid.

I'm gonna go with the first (bein' the generous soul I am).

Arbitrate based on what? The cop's or the judge's feelings on what people's own business is?

"Also, do you have to wait until you get sick before you can demand the poisoning stop?"

Obviously, if I can't prove he's harming me, mine, or my property, I need to mind my own goddamned business.

If I think he is, and I can't get him to cool it, I call the cops and the investigation begins (along with a temporary cease & desist order till shit is sorted out).

The evidence showing the dumping is hurtin me and mine, or that dumpin' is not hurtin' me and mine.

If he's dumpin' X and X is found on my property, in my blood, and if X makes living things sick...you see? You get it?
