Libertarian society CAN punish violations of the Non-Aggression Principle.. It is entirely moral to have a Justice League that helps Victims hunt down and punish Aggressors. After all, enforcing NAP is never a violation of NAP. A guy I know named L.Neil Smith does not favor this Self-Defense Only crap: http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2004/tle285-20040822-02.html "No more secrets, no more lies. Can anyone write a better campaign slogan? Specifically, I said that government secrets must be forbidden by law, and that any government employee who is convicted of lying to any member of the public **FOR ANY REASON** must be hanged by the neck in public and on prime time network television until he or she is dead." -- L.Neil Smith, "Necktie Party" (emphasis mine) See that? Neil envisions a libertarian society that BY LAW hunts people down AFTER THE FACT and kills them.
