Quoth Paul Ireland: ----- This isn't debatable. -----
You're right. It isn't. Not because you're correct, but because you decline to accept fact or reality, rather than your own whims and need to "win," as the parameters within which debate can take place. > 3. No, I've never played the role of Humpty Dumpty. This isn't MY > definition, it's EVERY definition of the word "markets" ever used by > any economist that ever lived in the entire recorded history of the > planet earth. As long as you don't regard any of the people generally recognized as "economists" as actually being economists, and believe that Paul Ireland is the only economist that ever lived in the entire recorded history of the planet earth, you may be right. However, the rest of us live in the real world where words don't always mean whatever it may be convenient to Paul Ireland for them to mean at any given moment. > 4.

Okay, that's fine -- but the only way to include someone in a contract who does not consent to be included in the contract is to FORCE that person to be included in the contract. You argument wasn't that tariffs were constitutional, it was that they weren't initiations of force. Tom Knapp ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
