[this file auto repeats periodically to everyone] Libertarian hard core, but tolerant, moderator encourages expression of your perspective on political liberty; especially about Reciprocal Physical Comprehensive Autonomy for each person. That means that, while you need not BE a libertarian yourself, each message that you post in this forum must be an actual extrapolation (pro or con) from the libertarian 'physical aggression truce' premise that: each person may do anything that they individually choose to do of their own free will EXCEPT initiate, or do a credible threat to initiate, physical force against the person or justly acquired possessions of another (yes, this does address fraud too) PleaseRead http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LibertyProspects/message/997 You are free to attack what is posted in this forum, but NOT the poster; NO ad hominem! Thus for example, ANY judgements of a PERSON (or people), as opposed to of ACTIONS, IDEAS & ISSUES expressed by same, over race, ethnic origin, creed* or personal lifestyle such as, for example, being black, brown, yellow, white, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Pagan, Wiccan, atheist, boozer, doper, nudist, hetero or homo sexual enthusiast and so on PER SE, are OFF topic in this forum; as they are NOT an actual extrapolation pro or con from the LIBERTARIAN principle expressed at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/27648 and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/22990 Libertarian idealism offers a consistent broadly inclusive principle that is successfully competing with the terrible old order of authoritarianism; and providing hope for the future. The process of replacing authoritarian 'pack magic' with a 'truce' between 'peers' commenced on a large scale about 200-400 years ago and built upon the innate 'physical aggression truce' that made some degree of social life practical and beneficial. 'Universal peerage' (like 'equal before the law) facilitated by a growing consciousness about the advantages of keeping consistent to the 'truce' has become the potent engine for transition to a worldwide free civilized society; the fruit of libertarian idealism in human history and future.
