If by regulations you mean enforcing property rights and laws against murder, I agree.

In a free market the initiation of force is not tolerated. The Bhopal disaster you cited is a perfect example of an initiation of force.

The government legitimizes the initiation of force on those who have done nothing to violate the rights of others -- similar to the disaster you cited. It seems you have a problem with companies initiating force, but not the government. Why is that?

Why does it seem that way? I don't know, it's your impression. You tell me.
