Then prove it. Offer a logical argument.

Since you have never offered any thing aside from "because I say it is so", I am free to reject this irrational diatribe. > If you buy something online, you often have to pay for shipping costs. > Does this mean they're infringing on your ownership of the item? Not > at all. Shipping costs are unrelated to the cost of the item itself > and do not effect your ownership of the goods. No, not always. Some times the seller pays, or it is shared. But that is between myself and the seller. The government is not properly involved. The same as when I move my goods across my property and across those imaginary lines. > I have never said the Constitution gives me the right to infringe on > your property or your rights and I've never suggested that anyone > should infringe on your property or rights.

That it is a libertarian stance to do this is not a fact. The fact is your position is that of an authoritarian. And is in no way libertarian. If it is I invite you to try and prove it. With evidence, logic or proof. > You have claimed a right you do not have.

This is obviously not the case. I am saying that it is an act of aggression to interfere with that right. I have proven over and over again that it is an act of aggression and you have stated your support for tariffs. You there for support aggression and theft. Either you do not support aggression or you do support tariffs. Which is it? Moving my goods across my property (imaginary lines for borders don't count) is my right. If I own property across one of these lines, I have the right to move that property as I please. Here are some examples where you philosophy falls short and actual libertarianism does not. If I buy goods and move them into my country with the intent of personal use and subsequent to that I receive an offer that is just to good to pass up, what then? If I buy lemon trees in a foreign country and plant them and then start selling lemon aid, is the lemon aid subject to tariff? The lemons? The trees?
