But to suggest that my 'notion' is a priori "unlibertarian" is to beg the question. We are presently considering whether your 'notion' of libertarian contract law holds water, or whether mine (or yet another) shall prevail. We are each advancing arguments for our differing points of few. To declare a 'notion' of mine "unlibertarian" is to abandon argument and unilaterally declare victory. I'm having fun and I hope you are too. Don't you intend to continue? > This is not to be a discussion of what is done NOW.
